    hmm … sorry for being so critical. But where does this qualifiy as a meme? It is more like a “straw man” for politics discussion. That’s what you want, right?

      You’re right the bottom image is wrong a country can’t invade itself.

      Also that is not what a straw man is.

    There is so much context missing here it is crazy. This is such a shameless use of manipulative statistics, it would only convince the dumbest of people of its argument.

      What do you think a ‘statistic’ is?

        I can’t tell if your question is a poorly veiled critique of my comment, or if you genuinely don’t see the presentation of data in the post. The image literally has a grouping of data points conveying a narrative; that’s statistics. A collection of quantitative data. Just because its bad statistics doesn’t mean it isn’t.

    I remember seeing a “Yakko’s World, but with every country the US has bombed since WWII” and was sad to see they forgot the first one in the song, “America”.

        Considering they supposedly punish multiple generations for defectors…I wouldnt call the emigration without consequences…

        Very interesting story by a NK defector.

    Love that they change the metric between the two. Also, I am not a fan of DPRK. but I’ve never once described them in that way.

    And just in case no one in the back can hear, JUST BC USA IS AWFUL DOESN’T MEAN OTHER REGIMES ARE GOOD.

                yeah i thought it was common knowledge. there a have been hundreds of missile launch events at or through other countries’ territory. wikipedia has not one but several, extensively sourced lists with maps. didn’t really expect pushbacks on such a well-documented thing. i’ll be going now.

                  Yeah a lot of state department propaganda is common “knowledge”. Just because a bunch of westerners believe something does not mean it has any merit.

                  Wikipedia itself should never be trusted just because it has “sources” literally anyone can contribute to wikipedia and it has been well known for decades it has a massive bias against the west’s designated adversaries. Would you care to share some of the sources cited by wikipedia?

                  So you think that those missiles were actually intended to hit targets but failed. That’s interesting, what exactly do you base that belief on?

          High-trajectory missile tests are not missile attacks or attempts thereof.
