my apologies, was also tired lmfao.

understood, will delete what I said.

Huh? It sounded like you were saying they were sanctioned for a reason because of supporting the resistance. I was saying they have every reason to support and fight against America and their dogs.

Unless you mean it in a "they were sanctioned because they were based" way, then I get it.

Because it has every right to be that way?

"The number of Korean dead, injured or missing by war's end approached three million, ten percent of the overall population. The majority of those killed were in the North, which had half of the population of the South; although the DPRK does not have official figures, possibly twelve to fifteen percent of the population was killed in the war, a figure close to or surpassing the proportion of Soviet citizens killed in World War II...

Russian accusations of indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets did not register with the Americans at all. But for the North Koreans, living in fear of B-29 attacks for nearly three years, including the possibility of atomic bombs, the American air war left a deep and lasting impression. The DPRK government never forgot the lesson of North Korea's vulnerability to American air attack, and for half a century after the Armistice continued to strengthen anti-aircraft defenses, build underground installations, and eventually develop nuclear weapons to ensure that North Korea would not find itself in such a position again... The war against the United States, more than any other single factor, gave North Koreans a collective sense of anxiety and fear of outside threats that would continue long after the war's end."

Yeah, a lot of people seemed confident that would happen eventually since Russia was chomping on the bit to join NATO in the late 90s.

Think the past two decades really taught them a few lessons.

Honestly, fair enough. It's just that even if you WANT to renounce it is expensive.

I'd imagine if you leave and have no intention of returning revoking your citizenship is a good move. A lot of people bring up the "advantages" but with the coming state of the world I doubt it will have much advantage for more than two decades.

But yeah, I agree with you. It really depends on the field of work you're in, in all honesty. I don't know their field or if they work at all; disability doesn't automatically mean someone isn't working either that be over the table or not.

I honestly think the democrats are done for after this. There's gonna be a ton who will vote for them as a reaction to Trump but their complete unwillingness to actually put any effort into meaningful resistance is obvious even on some of the liberal bastions on Reddit. There's always justifications or just plain stupid fucking solutions.

(One I'm seeing is trying to get Newsom to run for president and if that happens you might wanna save me some space in that closet)

Even without disability; it's expensive to revoke your citizenship and often requires a lot of hoops to jump through depending on what country you're in. Probably easier in China compared to say, Cambodia or Uruguay simply because I imagine there's more embassies in China.

I hope your father's work keeps paying out for you. I have a few friends in a situation with social security right now.
