i’m guessing because ever since the korean peninsula got split during the cold war (and before then), the dprk has always been portrayed as evil by the us (and the rok)
but yeah :( the dprk is consistently portrayed to be a totalitarian dystopia, even more so than other socialist states.
this is absolutely terrible. i don’t understand how someone can look at this situation and how the us responded to it and not think that the us simply doesn’t care about american civilians
last year was a fever dream
