The thing is, egypt cares more about hamas being their problem rather than hamas being anyone else's problem. As long as Hamas is someone else's problem, they have always ignored them. When they also become egypts problem, that is when they move against them. I am not entirely sure I blame them, but that, understandably, leaves israel distrusting of that relationship. Hamas will always be Israel's problem. That is a uniquely Israeli situation, with perhaps only the US sharing a similar relationship, as Hamas will also always be anti-US.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06
Hamas was manufacturing a lot of their own weapons. They had several factories in Gaza. The tunnel network is extensive and hard to completely stop, during this war Israel has found huge tunnels that a car could be driven through with that they didn’t know about. These networks date back to when Israel first occupied Gaza too. I wouldn’t be surprised if Egypt legitimately didn’t know. Honestly I think what Egypt wants is for the war to drag out so Hamas is actually destroyed. They don’t want a ceasefire that might mean that Hamas survives.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06

The NK people are so poor and starved that any rebellion is dead before it gets off the ground.

The CCP absolutely does not want to share a land border with a NATO ally either. The politics that split the countries to begin with have hardly changed since.

There can be no rebellion in North Korea, it is tragic but it is reality and the reason why fighting against tyranny and facism is so important in democratic countries. Regardless of brainwashing, of the governments social and economic domination over its citizens, regardless of generations of apathy, and of the threat of kin punishment. The reality is even if the people were willing, the government is capable of, and willing to, slaughter the majority of its own citizens by any means necessary to maintain power. North Korea would literally nuke itself before it allowed an uprising. A country with a national mutually assured destruction pact with it's citizenry is one that is impossible to overthrow, especially considering the extreme lack of agency the average North Korean has.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06
My family was involved in the Greek resistance in ww2 when the nazis and later Italians occupied it. There were many different resistance groups like the communists, Greek fascists (who were fighting other fascists lol), and royalists. But overall almost everybody in the country was participating someway in the resistance. Weather it be giving a local farm boy some ammo to transport or even an old woman giving some food to people in hiding...everyone was helping out. This was because everyone had suffered miserably at the hands of the nazis and no matter what side they were on everyone was actually working together even the communists and monarchists (until the end of the war at least). In my families village for every one German that was killed 30 civilians were lined up and shot, children included. What I'm trying to say is during WW2 people had somewhat decent lives until the Nazis came and destroyed everything. It made an easy enemy and there wasn't snitches. In North Korea they don't have the same will to fight simply because it's all they've ever known. Plus they are surveillance state and are watching all their citizens. It's just not the same kind of environment. For North Koreans to rise up it would be less like ww2 occupied countries, and more like if someone tried to change something like the making the US elections a popular vote and not electoral college. Like most people agree we need to get rid of it but it's all we've ever known so why bother trying to change it. especially since it's way above our means to do so even if thousands of us fought for it in the streets.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06

How convenient how you start the events with NK's invasion which was prompted by ... Seoul's violent suppression of SK communists, see the Jeju uprising, Workers Party of South Korea. The ROK troops detained, beat, rape and killed civilians. They even enacted a law making it treasonous and punishable by torture if anyone mentions the uprising. Whether they cared or not, it give NK the premise to invade. What do you think of the Jeju uprising? Is it a saintly act by the ROK and the American observers who watched and documented everything and even helped with some equipment, though did not directly participate?	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06

I’ve certainly heard people say that they think all of Russia was living in poverty, and that especially after the war / sanctions that there were shortages there. And yes I’ll agree with your point that there certainly some parts of Russia that are far worse off. In that sense we can also say that in the nicest parts of Pyongyang, people are also living quite nicely - which is a vast difference from how the majority of the country lives. Comparing those two countries, I’d say that Russia has a much less extreme example between the median quality of life and the 95th percentile quality of life.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06

Not to defend anyone here but for transparency, I'm an SK native. The problem is, it is not the SK government that is sending those leaflets. It is citizen organizations that feel really strongly about liberating or reuniting NK. Even back when it was illegal to send those leaflets to NK, the SK government was having a tough time making people stop. It is also controversial to stop them too. Can't recall when exactly, but in the far past, these leaflet exhanges were mutual. NK would send their leaflets south in the right weather conditions, SK vice versa. We call them 삐라, which is a slang term for these propaganda leaflets.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06
The organization that sends the balloons often send 50~100 pound bags of rice together with the pamphlets, so it's heavy enough to crush a car and kill the person inside if it falls. Not only that, North Korean anti-aircraft guns used to shoot down the balloons are close enough to the border that the stray bullets from popping the balloons have damaged buildings and broken windows of South Korean homes. Thankfully no one has died yet, but someone dying from these stray bullets could lead to major military escalation.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06

Many are not aware that the outside world is better. North Korean state propaganda paints the outside world as being in an even worse state than North Korea. Even if your life is hell, you will stay loyal and grateful if you believe the world outside is even more hellish. People do sometimes get information saying otherwise, but to trust it over your government you must have had some kind of experience that makes you distrust them. To get that is hard with that kind of censorship, isolation and with almost no one voicing or sharing any critical thoughts they might have due to it being seen as serious blasphemy. It still happens that people become critical of the government, but with the grip the government has on information there will never be enough to cause an uprising no matter how hard the conditions get, since the outside world can always be painted as worse.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06

When they also become egypts problem, that is when they move against them. I am not entirely sure I blame them, but that, understandably, leaves israel distrusting of that relationship.

Hamas was manufacturing a lot of their own weapons. They had several factories in Gaza.

These networks date back to when Israel first occupied Gaza too. I wouldn’t be surprised if Egypt legitimately didn’t know.

I wonder. Now this is weird, but has anyone run tests on the poop to try to analyze diet/ Disease/ virus/ health conditions of the poop being flown in? I remember reading a while back, maybe it was made up, about their chairman’s poop being fished out of toilets when he travels so people couldn’t do just that. Would be interesting to see the living conditions viewed from such samples.

A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber has a payload of 18000kg and (according to the American Statistical Association) a fully laden tampon (Tampax Pearl) is 12g. Meaning we could drop 1.5 million used tampons on Pyongyang. They would be unlikely to be able to respond as they do not have feminine hygiene products in North Korea. I believe this is the correct response.

The NK people are so poor and starved that any rebellion is dead before it gets off the ground. The only people who have enough food, and barely, is the military and anyone who has even a hint of a possibility of someone had a dream they weren't 100% loyal is immediately executed in gruesome fashion (such as being tied over the barrel of an artillery piece before it's fired, fed to starving dogs, etc. and that's just his family members)...

The CCP absolutely does not want to share a land border with a NATO ally either. The politics that split the countries to begin with have hardly changed since. They would likely do their best to paint any sort of reunification with the South as a *violation of their ally's sovereignty*, arm any loyalists, and start a proxy war all over again.

There can be no rebellion in North Korea, it is tragic but it is reality and the reason why fighting against tyranny and facism is so important in democratic countries. Regardless of brainwashing, of the governments social and economic domination over its citizens, regardless of generations of apathy, and of the threat of kin punishment. The reality is even if the people were willing, the government is capable of, and willing to, slaughter the majority of its own citizens by any means necessary to maintain power. North Korea would literally nuke itself before it allowed an uprising. A country with a national mutually assured destruction pact with it's citizenry is one that is impossible to overthrow, especially considering the extreme lack of agency the average North Korean has.

My family was involved in the Greek resistance in ww2 when the nazis and later Italians occupied it. There were many different resistance groups like the communists, Greek fascists (who were fighting other fascists lol), and royalists. But overall almost everybody in the country was participating someway in the resistance. Weather it be giving a local farm boy some ammo to transport or even an old woman giving some food to people in hiding...everyone was helping out. This was because everyone had suffered miserably at the hands of the nazis and no matter what side they were on everyone was actually working together even the communists and monarchists (until the end of the war at least). In my families village for every one German that was killed 30 civilians were lined up and shot, children included. What I'm trying to say is during WW2 people had somewhat decent lives until the Nazis came and destroyed everything. It made an easy enemy and there wasn't snitches. In North Korea they don't have the same will to fight simply because it's all they've ever known. Plus they are surveillance state and are watching all their citizens. It's just not the same kind of environment. For North Koreans to rise up it would be less like ww2 occupied countries, and more like if someone tried to change something like the making the US elections a popular vote and not electoral college. Like most people agree we need to get rid of it but it's all we've ever known so why bother trying to change it. especially since it's way above our means to do so even if thousands of us fought for it in the streets.

How convenient how you start the events with NK's invasion which was prompted by ... Seoul's violent suppression of SK communists, see the Jeju uprising, Workers Party of South Korea. The ROK troops detained, beat, rape and killed civilians. They even enacted a law making it treasonous and punishable by torture if anyone mentions the uprising. Whether they cared or not, it give NK the premise to invade. What do you think of the Jeju uprising? Is it a saintly act by the ROK and the American observers who watched and documented everything and even helped with some equipment, though did not directly participate?

I’ve certainly heard people say that they think all of Russia was living in poverty, and that especially after the war / sanctions that there were shortages there. And yes I’ll agree with your point that there certainly some parts of Russia that are far worse off. In that sense we can also say that in the nicest parts of Pyongyang, people are also living quite nicely - which is a vast difference from how the majority of the country lives. Comparing those two countries, I’d say that Russia has a much less extreme example between the median quality of life and the 95th percentile quality of life.

Not to defend anyone here but for transparency, I'm an SK native. The problem is, it is not the SK government that is sending those leaflets. It is citizen organizations that feel really strongly about liberating or reuniting NK. Even back when it was illegal to send those leaflets to NK, the SK government was having a tough time making people stop. It is also controversial to stop them too. Can't recall when exactly, but in the far past, these leaflet exhanges were mutual. NK would send their leaflets south in the right weather conditions, SK vice versa. We call them 삐라, which is a slang term for these propaganda leaflets.

The organization that sends the balloons often send 50~100 pound bags of rice together with the pamphlets, so it's heavy enough to crush a car and kill the person inside if it falls. Not only that, North Korean anti-aircraft guns used to shoot down the balloons are close enough to the border that the stray bullets from popping the balloons have damaged buildings and broken windows of South Korean homes. Thankfully no one has died yet, but someone dying from these stray bullets could lead to major military escalation.

Many are not aware that the outside world is better. North Korean state propaganda paints the outside world as being in an even worse state than North Korea. Even if your life is hell, you will stay loyal and grateful if you believe the world outside is even more hellish. People do sometimes get information saying otherwise, but to trust it over your government you must have had some kind of experience that makes you distrust them. To get that is hard with that kind of censorship, isolation and with almost no one voicing or sharing any critical thoughts they might have due to it being seen as serious blasphemy. It still happens that people become critical of the government, but with the grip the government has on information there will never be enough to cause an uprising no matter how hard the conditions get, since the outside world can always be painted as worse.
