More than 800,000 young North Koreans have volunteered to join the army to fight "US imperialists", state media said Saturday, days after Pyongyang test-fired its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile.
After a record-breaking year of weapons tests and growing nuclear threats from Pyongyang, Seoul and Washington have ramped up security cooperation, and this week kicked off their largest joint military drills in five years.
North Korea views all such exercises as rehearsals for invasion and has repeatedly warned it would take "overwhelming" action in response.

They probably enlisted just to get something to eat.

So, we’ve got China and Russia getting together to oppose the West, North Korea firing ICBM’s and threatening America, Iran developing nukes, and not least of all, the cultural and economic collapse of our own nation...yet Joe Biden is the greatest president since sliced bread. Go figure...

My Korean-American girlfriend and I visited the ROK last summer. We took a day trip up to the DMZ...which isn't too far from Seoul. It was obviously my first visit and it was my GF's first as well (she lived in Korea until she was 40).
Spooky doesn't even begin to describe the experience. I've never seen so many men with guns in my life (including during my Army service). And I've never been so frightened in my life.

I say that to my neighbor almost every day. He’s a never Trumper who voted for Biden, one of those who from some mental derangement thinks Trump is equal to Hitler.

I wonder how many in Bidens America are running into recruiting offices ready to join in the fight. They'll gladly sign up to be the ones who force you to sign up. Just like they did during WWI.
