The US did to North Korea what Israel did to the Gaza Strip. It is the same violent settler-colonial mentality. Then USians act surprised that North Korea wants to have nuclear weapons.
This is how the US assessed the damage after 3 weeks of bombing:
Ch’osan – 85%
Hoeryong (Hoeryŏng) – 90%
Huich’on (Hŭich’ŏn) – 75%
Kanggye – 75%
Kointong – 90%
Manp’ochin – 95%
Namsi – 90%
Sakchu – 75%
Sinuichu – 60%
Uichu – 20%
The bombing continued for 3 years… Only stopped when the US ran out of targets. “Pyongyang, which saw 75% of its area destroyed, was so devastated that bombing was halted as there were no longer any worthy targets.[30][31] By the end of the campaign, US bombers had difficulty in finding targets and were reduced to bombing footbridges or jettisoning their bombs into the sea.[32]”
I only knew a little bit about this, so didn’t want to equate it to a genocide like Gaza which I know more about, but yeah America really fucking sucks.
