    Yes. The US bombed North Korea kind of like Gaza, and ngl I’m less worried about North Korean nukes than Israeli nukes.

    • 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]”
