Comments by "Persona" (@ArawnOfAnnwn) on "How does NORTH KOREA mock the "AMERICAN EMPIRE"? - VisualPolitik EN" video.

@Raul_Menendez Who the fuck cares about what seems "professional"? The information in the content is what matters. Besides, this is being presented to a popular audience, not some staid govt. or corporate panel.

@vinayakkrishnaprasad358 NK doesn't even have the nukes to conduct total nuclear war globally, nor would they want to. Only two countries do - the US and Russia. Both also have way more nukes than everyone else. Also, even if NK detonated one of its weakass nukes on a city, it still wouldn't kill as many people as the US has done just using conventional warfare. Just cos a war doesn't involve nukes doesn't mean a lot of people aren't dying.

Imagine if China offered to cease support of the Kims in exchange for the US closing its bases on Japan and missiles in South Korea. Do you think the US would agree? Same with Russia. Why is the US policy treated as the norm, to which other countries are either cooperative or 'bad actors'? After all, what matters is the welfare of the North Korean people, right? So surely the benevolent Uncle Sam can 'sacrifice' a bit of regional influence for the sake of those starving millions. Right?..

@jwhan2086 Russia doesn't give a shit about any US red lines lol. Why would they? What has toeing American lines ever done for them, apart from having even more 'defensive' missiles placed around them? And they well know that the real power in that region is China, not the US. So if there's anyone's lines it's worth toeing in the Korean peninsula, it sure ain't Uncle Sam's.

@WarblesOnALot You do indeed warble on a lot. And use a pretentiously ostentatious presentation form to boot. Shut it. Stalin isn't proof of your karmic nonsense, and neither is Kim. The man had a rough childhood and a pathetic death, in between of which he lived the majority of his life as one of the most powerful men in the world. Not bad, compared to the billions of pitiable proles who never had much of anything. Many other dictators have got to enjoy comfortable retirements abroad even after being overthrown, or even continued influence. While others have died quick deaths that in no way match the misery they caused for millions. And, of course, the vast majority of poor childhoods don't get karmic comeuppances later in life, nor do all those fortunately born pay for it as adults. Your attempts to find cosmic justice in a world that has none are naive. Either you believe in a hypothetical afterlife whose mechanics could be anything you like, or accept that justice is far more aspiration than reality. Cos this world certainly doesn't argue for your karmic wish-fulfillment.

@WarblesOnALot It's times like this that I wish Youtube would borrow the Haha emoji from Facebook. Commenting it just doesn't give the same feel as Reacting with it. Ah well...

@OddZodd obviously. Also obviously, some people also obviously don't get what a turn of phrase is.

@Raul_Menendez And the abundance of internet comments gravitating to the number has proven that 90% of internet statistics are pulled directly from people's asses. Perhaps yours is the 10% that isn't? We'll never know, will we? Unless, that is, you care to provide an authoritative source for that claim...

@Raul_Menendez And I'll give you credit for trying one of the standard tactics of weaseling out from backing up your claims by first indulging in an ad hominem (and not even a creative one at that), and then trying to appear smart while doing so by name dropping a quote from a famous smart person. Doesn't change that your response was as sophisticated as the average 5 year old on a playground, but at least adulthood has enabled you to dress up your idiocy better.

@Raul_Menendez Well, at least I am winning, albeit I question your legitimacy in awarding any of those wins. But anyway, for someone who seems to so care about 'professionalism', you seem remarkably unconcerned by the fact that the thumbnail of this video still features a trollface. Yes, they've certainly bowed down to your "90%" rhetoric. Yes sirree!... Not to mention that several of the comments even on this chain are of people trolling it with emojis of their own.
