Not to sound like a Tankie, but every time Kim Yo Jong opens her mouth, my respect and esteem take another leap forward.

I do not conceal the fact that very unlucky things will wait for the U.S.

she said without elaborating.

She has the brains and confidence we need to overcome western Hegemony.

One thing I find interesting about the fediverse is that it is so empty that you can occasionally see honest-to-God pro-NK propaganda. NK lost a quarter of a million people to starvation in the 1990's and are on a fast track to repeat the past. So glad you have access to the internet. Good for you.

"not to sound like a tankie" idk, hard not to when you have a fascist regime's boot so far down your throat you're basically gagging.

Fuck it. I'll sound like a Tankie. They're allowed to defend their national sovereignty. If testing weapons that will make threats to that sovereignty think twice is how they do it, then so be it.

It would have been more favourable for his image to shut his mouth, rather than talking nonsense as he had nothing better to say.
