US Runs Massive War Drills Targeting North Korea: Is China Next? YouTube video by BreakThrough News

Today was the last day of Freedom Shield, the massive US-led military drills conducted right on North Korea's doorstep.

Last week, I interviewed @hermithwarang.bsky.social about these how these drills — and how the US wants to turn the peninsula into its frontline for war against China.

For the millionth fucking time there IS NO NORTH KOREAN HAIRCUT LAW the Trump admin is over here trying to restart the Korean War and you useless liberals can’t help but continue defaming a people your government committed GENOCIDE against

*taps sign*

I want a giant hammer with PRIMARY CONTRADICTION stamped on it that I can smack people with when they’re being, as a Marxist would put it, mucho estupido

decided this will be the place I go to froth at the mouth

it’s not a slur it’s a v simple descriptor for what liberalism is: the ideological expression of capitalism. the communists disdain to conceal their aims!

how’s bluesky taking trump 2, the sequel: even more bigly

Infrastructure neglect and poverty lead to parasites in the Mississippi Delta New research suggests parasitic infections in US south are far more widespread than previously acknowledged

Hookworm never went away, we just stopped looking for it. New research suggests parasitic infections are widespread across the South.

ep 242 of DYA: the legendary @hermithwarang.bsky.social of Nodutdol and @therealnews.com on South Korea's thwarted military coup, US imperialism in Northeast Asia and what comes next in the fight for Korean sovereignty

Good time for people in the US to be asking why the U.S. is occupying Korea or in an alliance with this govt. What did Washington know about Yoon’s war plans? When did they know it? Are US leaders trying to use Korea to manufacture WWIII?

Was South Korea’s coup an attempt to restart the Korean War? : Peoples Dispatch Opposition lawmakers are alleging the full scope of President Yoon’s coup involved a months-long plot to trigger a “limited war” with North Korea

In the wake of South Korea's martial law order, the National Assembly has heard shocking testimony that President Yoon's coup plot included plans to kill US soldiers, assassinate politicians, and restart the Korean War.

My report for People’s Dispatch peoplesdispatch.org/2024/12/13/w...

Atrocities Made a South Korean City Infamous. A Novelist Made It Immortal. The last time South Korea imposed martial law, Gwangju endured a deadly crackdown. Han Kang, the Nobel Prize-winning author, told its story in “Human Acts.”

Once again, the New York Times manages to tell the harrowing story of the Gwangju Massacre without once mentioning that the uprising it inspired was put down with brutal force with the approval and vital assistance of US President Jimmy Carter and the Pentagon. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/w...

The McDonald’s CEO killer tipster may have his reward claim denied which is too much irony for me at my age.

you realize South Korea has killed way more Korean people than North Korea ever has?

South Korea's impeachment fails—what's next? : Peoples Dispatch Yoon Seok Yeol’s failed attempt to impose martial law and the subsequent impeachment vote have blown the lid off of a much deeper political crisis in the country.

South Korea’s impeachment has failed. There is now a standoff between the ruling party, the opposition, and the masses. Read my latest from People’s Dispatch peoplesdispatch.org/2024/12/08/s...

Not sure if anybody's surprised at anything anymore. But MBC reports that Def. Min. ordered to strike N. Korea for sending the 'trash balloon' about one week before the coup attempt. The chairman of the joint chief of staff refused it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggr3...

We’re just getting a little silly with it as we do

Born to be lover boy, forced to know what an MiG-29 is

I don’t think anyone with zero track record of confronting institutions, govts, corporations etc has any claim to political seriousness

The State is not a greater enemy than capital. The state is simply the instrument of the class in power. Capital is the enemy, not the State in the abstract

Letting the Obama PR Boys become known as just Podcaster instead of the propagandists for war crimes and mass death across the globe is really a giant failure of our society

“They think they are the masters of the skies, but we are the masters of the earth”

I think your relatives hold the backwards beliefs they do as a combination of their likely class interests and the prevailing social conditions of our time. I think you should try to change people’s conditions instead of trying to change their minds

This platform is not, currently, a substitute for twitter, as far as Gaza news is concerned.

I don’t actually think it’s important for you to do line struggle at the Thanksgiving dinner table. I don’t think your uncle cares if you try to impose social consequences on him. I think you should join a tenant union or unionize your workplace. You should flyer for Palestine rallies. Anything else

The only source for this (that link in blue) is some guy's anonymous 142-subscriber Substack. These are the kinds of journalistic standards U.S. media applies to China — they only care about pushing a particular narrative.
