Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

Here is one: https://georgetownsecuritystudiesreview.org/2018/02/21/burying-our-heads-in-the-sand-female-participation-in-political-violence-the-kim-yo-jong-story/
There are also several books published detailing her brutal rise to power. Jong Un is the happy go lucky benevolent dictator who brought skiing and computers to North Korea. She's the one who blew up a building she had a meeting with South Korea's leaders in to make a point about where their diplomacy was headed.
I didn't say she ran the show. She does the things her brother can't do without ruining his likeability. Everything she does is with his complete approval. She currently sits in the highest government position ever occupied by a woman and is in charge of all DPRK's propaganda (including her brother's public image) and she is the second in command, reportedly responsible for running the country when her brother is medically incapacitated. Kim Jong Un's kids are still too young to take power in his absence and if he dies before they come of age, Kim Yo Jong will rule in her brother's place.
Here is an article that states Kim Yo Jong called repeatedly for the collapse of the Joint Liason with South Korea office building before it suddenly...did.
