They both have a bit in common. They’re both communist Asian states that the US went to war with during the Cold War and did not win. But the messaging regarding the two states is a lot different. DPRK is treated like the worst dictatorship ever, that kills you and your family for even thinking that the Kims are less than gods, whilst also starving. But Vietnam, they say… nothing.

Why isn’t Vietnam demonized like DPRK?

    Vietnam gets exploited for cheap sneakers

    Korea is officially still at war with the US and Samsung. But wtf are they gonna do about it? Korea has nukes :) Amerikkka is bitter because of it.

    North Korea will never give up its arsenal. It’s all that is keeping us alive. Look at Saddam Hussein - and we never forget that North Korea was named as part of the “axis of evil” a year before the United States invaded Iraq. Do you think we would be stupid enough to believe American promises after all this? We are a nuclear power. That is not negotiable. We are willing to talk about limits freezes - but we would need to be given something in return security, in the form of diplomatic recognition by Washington and guarantees of nonaggression from China, Japan and the United States.
