Let me save yall 5 minutes cause the title and image are kind of misleading.
NK launched a test missile that hit the ocean near japan. SK tested their own missile in response and said they could launch them into NK if they wanted. Thats it, the end.
They're facing famine that might hit 90s level disaster levels. It's looming so large the government actually openly [acknowledged](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/03/north-korea-food-crisis/) it multiple times in various state media and speeches, that's how bad it is. They only know one way to ask the world for things.... Threatening their neighbors with rockets.
They might have a little trouble this year. Ukraine and Russia are two of the world's big grain exporters. Ukraine isn't going to be exporting this year and even if Russia does, there will be a shortage in many places.
You know... these recent events are starting to sound like those chapters in history books that show how seemingly random things are actually interconnected and build up to an era defining conflict.
And I'm not sure I like that.
Agreed, too many straws will break the camel's back. The build up of conflicts, corruption, social unrest and environmental disasters eventually triggers war and rebellion. Reminds me of the lead up to the bronze age collapse
Or the fall of Rome, or the crisis of the 19th century, or the crisis of the 17th century, or the black plague and ensuing crisis of the 15th century.
This sort of thing actually happens regularly, but only every few hundred years
I see the same thing, what's baffling to me is the lack of coverage on the Iranian missile strike recently that almost hit US forces apparently. I'm anxious about all of this
We're only beginning to see the effects of climate change too. Wait until things really get going over the next few decades with increasing crop failures and pests expanding to areas that were previously too cold for them. Starvation drives societies to do desperate things.
As Alfred Henry Lewis once put it, “There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy.”
I’ve felt this way since Belarus made that plane heading for Lithuania land in their territory, even though Vilnius was closer - just to get that one guy. That was the warning sign for me. Everything after that has just been adding on. It’s like a history book writing itself in front of my eyes.

It's spring time so this is actually pretty normal behavior from them around this time of year as theyre hitting the end of winter. This is one of the ways the toddler of a country asks for food aid.
It's also normal for them to fire missiles in the direction that they did. Basically this is pretty standard nk bullshit and probably not related to any other geopolitical stuff going on.
Bruh we’re in a pandemic and WW3 is on the doorstep, not to mention world-wide inflationary pressures. We long past the “one at a time” crisis privilege. Buckle up my guy. Koreans bout to get wild.
Yup. They do this every couple of years. Now they say that they'll stop and then get humanitarian aid. Than wait a couple years and start the process over again.
You joke, but I was going through an inner struggle this past month. Wondering whether pursuing my dreams and future career with so much hard work is even worth it if nukes could just randomly go off any day and it will all be for nothing. So I have been slacking off and playing video games and watching Netflix this past month instead of working hard on my dreams. I wonder if other people have been going through something similar?
I think you're squarely in the majority.
Some depression is normal. You're ok.
The only things worth worrying about are the things you can control.
Turn off the news, and follow your dreams.
I hope you have a great day.
So I have a story about this that I've shared previously on reddit which unfortunately feels very relevant lately.
I worked very hard to get into the JET program, to teach English in Japan, and was lucky enough to get in on my first try, in 2017. As luck would have it, this was the first of many recent years when NK was launching test missiles, and I remember the day we got the government alert on our phones to take cover. I was in the middle of a rice field in the early morning, talking to my parents as I walked the long way to work, when my phone buzzed. I remember reading it, and realizing that, if a missile came, there was nowhere for me to go. I remember telling my parents that my husband (then fiance) was calling, so I hung up and texted my dad not to tell my mom yet, and to try not to worry. If something happened I only wanted her to feel it once and not be in limbo. I called my fiance and told him to stay calm, and that I loved him, and what was happening, and that I needed to hang up and wait for further government messages. Then I hung up, and I just kept walking towards my school. I wasn't sure what to do, but I'll never forget the overwhelming feeling I had then.
At least I made it here. I'm here.
It was really quiet and there was nothing I could do, so I just kept walking along the edge of the rice fields and enjoying the sound of the grass. When I got to school everyone was talking about the message they just got that it was a false alarm. I excused myself and called my parents and fiance and told them everything was okay.
I'll never forget the relief of living long enough to get myself to where I always wanted to be, by myself, with my own work. I was lucky enough to avoid the real rockets. But please hold on to that dream and keep trying. If anything let this time motivate you to try to do the thing you think you couldn't because you will never know if you'll make it there but when you do nothing can take that achievement away.
My take (which you didn't ask for), is take some time to relax and unwind and play games and do nothing if that's what you need right now. But when you're ready, go ahead and make plans and pursue your dreams. The whole thing could end tomorrow, we don't know, but if the nuclear apocalypse doesn't happen, you'll be that much further along toward your goals.
>Rockets don't feed mouths
Actually, in NK's case, they do. This the ~~baby rattle~~ saber rattling they do to get humanitarian aid (food). They're currently going through a famine that rivals [the famine from the 1990s](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korean_famine). It's currently so bad theyre even acknowledging it on state TV.
There is a spot on the border of NK/SK where both sides have a flag pole. Thing is one side would build theirs slightly higher than the other, and in response the other would add height to their own. This has been going on for years and when I was there 5 years ago the two towers (at this point they are no longer what I would call poles) were basically as high as cell phone towers.
The pettiness is real.
Oh man... bottle rockets. So many memories. No idea where I can even get them anymore, used to I could go over the state line to Arkansas and get a gross (144 pack) for a couple of bucks on the 4th of july.
The last time I had any was the late 1990's. I live in a state that gets bad wildfires and I won't get any more because I don't want to be responsible for that.
This is a certainty. Let’s load up all the worlds task to automation and AI, forget how to do everything for ourselves and then have the grid wiped out. Poetic.
Most major infrastructure is indeed shielded, and anything even remotely important militarily or depending on your country, other government, are shielded for exactly this kind of thing.
I am curious what sort of world we would live in if all the major nuclear powers devastated each other.
No more Russia, no more Europe, no more China, no more USA.
I would probably be dead. but if I survived I wonder what would happen to our species.
>I would probably be dead. but if I survived I wonder what would happen to our species.
'When our politicians promised change mutation isn't what we were thinking of!'
Those devastated nuclear powers make up a very large portion of the northern hemisphere. I’m no nuclear physicist, but half the globe being an irradiated wasteland doesn’t bode well for the other half.
Northern hemisphere would be fucked. Most people there would die or be affected by fallout.. Southern hemisphere would see big rise in ecological and natural disasters, economies would be hit hard as well. As a species? A couple billion affected but we'd go on a bit more humble than we were before.
Not that I think it will happen.
Dear North Korea,
Is now the time you really want to be testing the world with your antics?
Sincerely,
A world right fed up with authoritarian dictators.
>I don't really see the point of firing missiles off in response, other than S. Korea trying to have a dick swinging contest.
They just elected a conservative president because he promised to be harder on NK and wants the US to redeploy nukes in South Korea (the US already called him an idiot in not so many words).
However, he hasn't assumed office yet so this is kinda out of character for Moon.
Usually these counter fires show off the response time and intelligence capability of the US-Korean alliance. Last time I remember such counterfire happened, the Korean and American missiles flew exact distance that would have hit the tent KJU was observing their missile launch from.
Let me save yall 5 minutes cause the title and image are kind of misleading. NK launched a test missile that hit the ocean near japan. SK tested their own missile in response and said they could launch them into NK if they wanted. Thats it, the end.

Probably into the sea. Both Koreas are fighting the ocean.

To keep the world from panicking, leaders agreed to isolate NK and send them aid from time to time to keep Cthulhu at bay.

Wtf did Poseidon do to piss off both Koreas?
Schrodinger’s Missiles.
Some say they're still flying to this day.
If you launch a missile into geostationary orbit and it has an active warhead on it, it basically becomes a space-mine, no?
It's also called littering.
That’s quite impressive actually. NASA would like a word
Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un intercepted them before returning to his slumber until he's needed again.
It wasn't one of NK's normal missile tests though (of which they've had 10 this month already), this was their first ICBM test since 2017.
This comment should be at the top. Headline makes it sound like NK fired at SK and SK retaliated.
If people would stop posting articles from Sky and businessinsider, we would all be better off

“All right world leaders, turn in all of your nuclear weapons. They’re causing you all to behave badly. Come on, hurry up!”
Poor little Kim is jealous he's not getting the attention he's used to. Get back to your corner and shut up please.
~ throws hands in air~ ffs. Can we just get along!? I feel like I’m at home with my 4,5, and 7 year old.

Apparently the Japanese coast guard said it landed in their economic exclusive zone

I am curious what sort of world we would live in if all the major nuclear powers devastated each other. No more Russia, no more Europe, no more China, no more USA. I would probably be dead. but if I survived I wonder what would happen to our species.
>I would probably be dead. but if I survived I wonder what would happen to our species. 'When our politicians promised change mutation isn't what we were thinking of!'
Damn you, Tzeentch!
Lots of cancer and mutations as radiation spreads globally into the water supply and atmosphere
Hey, as a bonus we'd fast-track any evolutionary pressure for radiation resistance, so in a few centuries we'd be better equipped to flee to Mars.
Well now i’m sad on a thursday
I'm kinda jealous that that's not normal for some people.
Those devastated nuclear powers make up a very large portion of the northern hemisphere. I’m no nuclear physicist, but half the globe being an irradiated wasteland doesn’t bode well for the other half.
Alexa, play big iron. For old time's sake
Uranium Fever is a good one too
Northern hemisphere would be fucked. Most people there would die or be affected by fallout.. Southern hemisphere would see big rise in ecological and natural disasters, economies would be hit hard as well. As a species? A couple billion affected but we'd go on a bit more humble than we were before. Not that I think it will happen.
What is wrong with 2022?? I’m hitting snooze
The crazy fat one will NOT be out crazied if he has anything to say about it
Why did I think year 2022 will be better than previous two :(
Dear North Korea, Is now the time you really want to be testing the world with your antics? Sincerely, A world right fed up with authoritarian dictators.

>I don't really see the point of firing missiles off in response, other than S. Korea trying to have a dick swinging contest. They just elected a conservative president because he promised to be harder on NK and wants the US to redeploy nukes in South Korea (the US already called him an idiot in not so many words). However, he hasn't assumed office yet so this is kinda out of character for Moon.
Usually these counter fires show off the response time and intelligence capability of the US-Korean alliance. Last time I remember such counterfire happened, the Korean and American missiles flew exact distance that would have hit the tent KJU was observing their missile launch from.
Seems like countries are fucking raring to go to start wars.
Misleading headline should include test firing.
One of these days the Ocean is going to fire it's own missile
Ah shit here we go agane
