meanwhile, progressives in the US who would describe NK as a human rights disaster are fully behind the Zionists and their genocide

Kim Jung Un supports Hamas, just like Iran and Syria

is just the latest remix of Bush Jr’s “Axis of Evil” speech.

I can’t imagine how the logistics of a NK to Gaza support network is supposed to even function. Yes, it makes Kim look cool on here, but none of it really passes the smell test. Not when the US is impounding Iranian cargo ships with impunity and suffocating the entire Levant with surveillance tech.

Unless NKorea has a teleporter, I’m not clear on how anything they might try to send can reach anyone currently in Gaza.

I have seen at least two pictures of Hamas militants with what were identified as North Korean made RPGs. I think they’re able to get supplies into Gaza the same way Hamas gets other supplies in.

Conflict zones like the middle east are hot markets for arms dealers and surplus materiel tend to accumulate there. I doubt there’s any direct conduit between the two countries though

Identified by whom? The same folks that gave us “40 decapitated babies”, “they bombed their own hospital”, and “we did DNA testing on a random skull fragment to confirm Hamas killed Shani Nicole Louk”?

I think they’re able to get supplies into Gaza the same way Hamas gets other supplies in.

The Hamas group has a (likely entirely overstated) tunnel network across borders and a (likely entirely overstated) Mediterranean smuggling operation. That gets you a very limited set of imports from Egypt and perhaps Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, or Turkey if they can really stretch it without the IDF noticing. None of these countries are doing regular direct trade with a small largely agrarian country on the opposite side of Asia. Nothing from North Korea is getting through the Suez Canal, nevermind it getting packed in across the entire length of Russia. Certainly not a militia’s worth of rocket propelled grenades. Come the fuck on.

This shit is almost certainly all home grown. From Egypt or Syria? Very likely. Robbed from the Israelis? Definitely possible. Brought in from Iraq? Sure. Brought in from Iran? Maybe. Brought in from Ukraine? Not outside the bounds of possibility. Brought in from the opposite side of the hemisphere? Give me a fucking break. Might as well claim they’re receiving arms from Haiti or Nunavut.

I mean, Hezbollah was literally trained by the DPRK who also taught them the tunneling system. They fought very well against Israel in 2006.

North Korea borders Russia, and Russia is connected to Palestine through land and through friendly nations. Also, you don’t need to have a North Korean physically smuggle weapons and food to Palestine. You just need a lot of money to pay someone near the territories to do it for you.

‘Progressive’ is a marketing label not an ideology. Probably shouldn’t have been used in the first place.

“Progressive” in 1920 meant a supporter of eugenics, race science and lobotomies. So called “public hygiene” freaks

progressives are liberals, and if they won’t call for an immediate ceasefire they’re absolutely supporting genocide

Progressives are leftists, but applying the liberal label to them doesn’t make much sense in American politics. Liberals in America are center right on a global spectrum, and ultimately very pro corporate. Progressives aren’t these things.

Perhaps you’re conflating government officials with the civilian population they supposedly represent? Consider that there has never been a time in American history where the people have been less represented by the ruling class in government, and that includes all political ideologies. Normal people in America don’t want war or genocide. Arms manufacturing companies and banks do, because they think they can make trillions of dollars from it.

What do u think of hypothetical politics that technically could exist but are unlikely to?

Idk why but you saying that makes me wonder about other ideals that contradict eachother but could coexist because people might have contradictory incoherant opinions

I wish i had been born in Cuba instead of America. Im always so stressed and i work 70+ hours a week just to barely scrape by. At least in Cuba id be in a stress free poverty where my needs were met and my landlord wasnt looming over my head.

Oh wow im so lazy with my coal mining job. I must be given everything by my dead parents.

Im so tired and full of dread all the time i can hardly even talk to my husband. I just want to sleep. Finally a black hat. Yay i guess. A “career” where i sell my body like a prostitute. If i was prettier id just let people fuck me and id be happier.
