Almost funny that Putin is so desperate that Jong Un makes Putin come to him to kiss the ring in exchange for ammo.
Almost? No, it’s just straight up funny
frivolizing the war?
Sorry, I hope it didn’t come off like that
Russia is a North Korean client state now.
I'd do the "are we the baddies?" thing, but I think Putin and Kim know they are already.
Kim inherited his mess. Putin made his own.
That's not to say that Kim isn't allowing things to continue mostly as they were, but it could be beyond his ability to change things even if he wanted to.
Putin, on the other hand, only needs to call off the "special military exercise" and most of his immediate problems will go away.
Why? Cant they make their own? I thought if Russia was producing anything useful, it would be ammo at this point.
North Koreans, this is your chance to be world heroes
Wouldn't it be funny if the western powers bought all of north Korea's armory out and gave it to Ukraine for defense against Russia
How funny would it be if Putin went to North Korea, and then was stuck inside? They say North Korea is inescapable. I don't know how true that is, but it would be funny if Kim Jong Un was just like Ariel Castro, like "GOTCHA BITCH!"
Except unlike Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight, I won't feel sorry for the captive.
I had to reread that, because I thought Knight Rider had been trapped in North Korea.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
