I just thought this was interesting seeing these ancient people alongside the new service uniform.73rd anniversary of the DPRK crushing the UN almost single handedly with some minor moral support from Mao.Old, so very, very old..1/5
>>65371889Fuck ya'll, i'm like a zillion years old and i don't need to button my fly if i don't want to. Observation: They clearly have a factory making new1950s uniforms in significant numbers since they use them for parades.2/5
>>65371889>some minor moral support from Maodoing some Sisyphus level lifting here
>>65371896New digicam and T-shirts on the qt.Something i've noticed: outside of major official events they don't give af about uniform standards, she doesn't even have her boots completely laced up.>>65371901Eh, they let a few Chinese come along, they didn't want to hurt their feelings.3/5
>>65371901I like to read sisyphus as sissy pus
>>65371896I see the Full Medal Jacket is still alive and well, I wonder if they make the same chest expansion surgery jokes they'd make about Brezhnev and his medal obsession which is seemingly austere in comparison.
>>65371911Parade of oldies.These folks are probably technically combatants, imagine having to occupy a Nork Veterans home>You just have to stand there while grandma tries to gum your hand off while attempting her third sporking of the day4/5
>>65371929I think this has been shooped.Last one, grandma and qt. The end of an era; No one even the DPRK is immune to the ultimate foe: Digicam. 5/5
>>65371933That's pretty cool actually, hope they had a great day
>>65371929The guy in the middle is the equivalent of a Command Sgt Major, half of those are time in service medals. The average US CSM would have several times as many medals, they just wear the entire medal instead of just the tab. Interesting note: Most US Service members i've met are unaware that those little ribbon tabs have actual medals associated with them. >>65371940It is cool, Kim seems to be paying especial attention to their generation. All of the new destroyers are named after Sung's wartime friends for instance. They are having a great day, as soon as someone posts it to youtube there is a great scene of them saluting and crying when they visit the Nork's SMO memorial. Very emotional moment, Nork's are hugely sentimental.
>>65371961>paying attention to their generationOne of the biggest regrets of my life was not sitting down and getting recorded oral histories from my grandfather and his best friend who were in Korea. I know grandpa didn't like to talk about it, but he did tell me about his (heavily summed up) experience leading counter attacks at Outpost Harry as a young infantry officer. I really hope Kim is having these people sat down and interviewed for anything they can remember so posterity can hear in their own words about their fight.>but the norks and chinks badHistory is made up of people and without their stories we lose the context of it.
>>65372015When i was a kid there were a few old people i knew who had met people who were alive in the civil war, i very much regret not asking them everything.So check First Sgt grandma Toph out:>Female Korean war vet>More medals than anyone else, like 2-3 times as many>Probably has a Nickle plated Tok handed to her by Sung himself on her person >These boots were made for stomping,>She is slinging her travel bag over her shoulder and carrying it her own damn selfOn a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being a 12 days of training from enlistment to death AIDs infested drunk mobnik and 10 being a 40k tactical Space Marine where does she rate as a threat?
>>65372048Some basic math: Circled woman is at an absolute minimum 92-93 years old and around four feet tall.
>>65372048she's probably a 4, looks like she could stick your eye out with a fork for bad mouthing Juche.
>>65371911Woman on the left with the grey hair is a General rank staff officer. She's like a 2-3 General. She clearly is old as fuck and the uniform doesn't fit her, however she can still walk in heels with some minor assistance. My guess is that each one has a KPA 'assistant' to help them out and look after them, the girl next to them. They technically still have their rank and it transfers to their Guards system so somewhere there is a system of Nork villages filled with really old vets who technically still have their rank and are considered part of the command structure. They got sent off to the WPK Guard mostly but they still have their ranks.>Grandma pulls out a chrome plated Nagant, fixes the bayonet and demands that you do a better job cooking her peas and rice before she orders 6 companies of WPK Guard units in the neighboring villages to shell you
>>65372097That is probably the rating i'd give. She is fit for her age and clearly experienced but she so very, very, very, very, very old. She would organize everyone in the old folks home/POW camp against you, feign harmlessness then backstab or poison you. She would probably get in your face all the time and make herself some sort of vague safety threat so you focused on her instead of the fact that there are 3-4 geriatrics with pillow cases with canned peas standing behind you. In a trench warfare situation? As long as she was in a bunker and 'managed' she could probably handle command of a few companies, it isn't like she would be retreating or be given command of the unit in the first place if she was expected to retreat. As long as someone like that was saying 'no retreat!' no one would stand down, at least not until she was dead. Observation: Random old folks homes/resorts/hot springs in rural North Korea might be unexpectedly hard targets. They have alot of young/middle aged people taking care of them (and are run by the KPA) and the average North Korean citizen has roughly 20+ years of militarily relevant training via the WPK Guard.Their mass mobilization system is not something to be discounted, there are 5.5 to 7.5 million of them that can for a year or two be made combat effective.
>>65371933Interesting height disparity there.You hear that Kim's starving his people to afford the nuclear program but there's clearly been a significant increase in childhood protein and caloric intake between those two generations.
They're all going to die when pootin chimp nooks out lol
>>65371889>some minor moral support from MaoSUPER minor, in fact so incredibly minor I don't even know why you mentioned it.
So what’s the deal with norktard exactly, like he’s an autist who’s actually obsessed with north korea or is it just a bit?
>>65372179I noticed that as well. Alot of them are shorter (a few are taller btw but they are rare) and it hard to tell because so many of the old ones have shrunk because the are so old but the young helpers really stand out. The guys are tall compared to the old as are the young girls some of which look borderline chubby.*You can tell what the old guys looked like when they were young besides that guy on the right in the second pic who has a scar like Simo Häyhä.>>65372196I was trying to be polite, despite their minor efforts the PRC were more or less good natured hinderances in the grand scheme of things. We honor them because at least they tried their best. >>65372207Both. I know they are horrible monsters, i also think their uniforms and equipment look cool. I've studied them for half my life and i think they are interesting as well as funny trolls.I am playing it up a bit because it pisses Russians off. I also think that by around 2030 the USA and DPRK will be allies in fact if not name. I was just about to post my 12th 'DPRK invades the Russian Far East' scenario then i realized i've figured that out 10 years ago. Spoiler alert: Russia loses badly. So i'm trolling a bit but i honestly think that the best thing for humanity is the USA and DPRK becoming allies. I think it is already happening in many ways.*Medics like that and how the DPRK uses them would be very useful info. A competent medic who is OK with being used as a walking bloodbag is a valuable resource.
>>65371933Damn I’d love to get myself some of those nork camo pants
>>65372297The T-shirts aren't bad either. I am pretty sure they are wearing Gortex/Vinalon German/Japanese style field caps as well. They look very comfortable, notice everyone has very comfy looking footwear.
>>65372207he's basically the bald copelord but for norks
>>65372421I disagree.>I hate Russians and their culture with a genocidal passion.>Copelord is usually wrong, i am usually right>While i have hair thinning my bald spot is not as bad as his.>I occasionally tell you something that is meaningful.
>>65372436NtaI had a growing pustule of irritation toward you, and it's finally burst into a drippy slugtrail of lymph, urea, sebum, and blood.Spread out now, I can finally read its contents, in a matter resembling how the Romans read the gizzards of the sacrificial chicken. I now understand what bothered me.Why the hell are haunting this place and using not a すごい flick-keyboard to practice Hangul, and attaching yourself to some Goreeun OSINT gommunidy, so your autism can be at least a quarter-useful to someone?
>>65372479Also, this. Since I am a Koksan and Bulsae-4 respecter.
>>65371889it's clear to see that poverty and graft can lengthen lives
>>65372479I know it is annoying that i don't do some /pol political shit but i just keep going with my DPRK autism. Sorry but the DPRK is what i do.
>>65372207at least he posts OC and talks about equipment, that's more than you can say about a lot of posters in 2026 /k/
>>65372598>i don't do some /pol political shitThat is literally all you do. You come here to shill for vicious inbred monsters because you are stupid, like every /pol/shitter. Not autistic, stupid.
>>65372179>>65372268the kids chosen to attend those veterans are from the upper circles.the families of old comrades that managed to never displease the kim's their diets/heigth isn't the national average
>>65371889>>65371933>>65371939Was this event just to show off the new uniforms or was there another reason for it? I'm assuming that they're preparing for a huge ass parade sometime soon? >>65372598To be fair, Norktard. You do some annoying ass threads involving schizo tier scenarios whenever you start drinking
>>65372649or threads on rabbit kits
>>65372652>>65372649>>65372642>>65372631Have you ever considered that instead of having a sinister motivation i just thought it was decent of them to honor their war veterans?
>>65372631Come on now, at least he is not jewish.
>>65372711Agnostic non Trinitarian (Secular Arianism for lack of a better term) thank you very much. The First and Second Councils of Nicae were the worst things to happen to humanity since the invention of Monotheism and the concept of time.
>>65372677Don't worry Norktard. Your threads are good.
>>65372751Thank you. >I know she would hate it but she would look really pretty dressed like that and it would really mess up global media perceptions of their nation
>>65372598Your reply somewhat misrepresents what I'm suggesting. Doing something like OSINT isn't politically edgy. It's like a public service if you do it right, resisting the temptation to pass speculation off as reporting.What you do on /k/ is like a faint shadow.It reaches very few ppl here, and half your audience here shits on you with a very watery, splattery, diarrhetic consistency.If you pooled your effort with gooks and expats on xitter, then you might actually help inform a public. beyond the usual vapid network news BS.Or maybe you keep to here because 4chan lets you wank freely over your own Nork fanfictions.>>65372268>US / Nork allianceAn idea so absurd and fresh that I love it.But I agree with anons calling it schizoid.The only way this could even begin to take shape is if Trump became Emperor for Life and thence established dynastic succession. That would provide political continuity to start.Rehabilitating the Norks in pop cultural memory would also take years AND conciliatory gestures from thr Nork side.None of that will come together.
>>65372806>>US / Nork alliance>An idea so absurd and fresh that I love it.>But I agree with anons calling it schizoid.>The only way this could even begin to take shape is if Trump became Emperor for Life and thence established dynastic succession. That would provide political continuity to start.>Rehabilitating the Norks in pop cultural memory would also take years AND conciliatory gestures from thr Nork side.>None of that will come togetherAll that is happening. The DPRK is a nuclear armed global power. The DPRK controls he ability of Russia to make war. The DPRK controls Russia since Russia needs the DPRK to exist but the DPRK does not need them..
>>65372168Man, like... the Pentagon hasn't included retirement homes in the plan. Give it a few years and it would be a goddamn Johnny 5 D-Day if anything on the ground at all.
>>65372625There's a slime deep downdespite the juicy pork steamed bungive medication
>>65372598Juche isn't even the problem, actual communism is. Because no matter how neat the APCs are; they're communist.I don't even have to know HOW it's retarded. It just takes 5 seconds or opening an equipment cover. "Ah. They've made the bearings out of children's teeth!".It's unavoidably the most retarded end of the spectrum, it's Michael Crichton's character Ian Malcolm but operating on the mathematics of Retard Theory.So no matter how kino-retro it is, no matter how they try to fix the initial russian retardation built in (which is another fool's errand), they're still just distilling Retard.
>>65372677For .0023 seconds then I realized the sorts of things I'd been thinking
>>65372755I'd write her family a long calligraphied introduction and request permission to court, while being six inches deep in her asshole lubed with 10w-30.
>>65372649>another reason for it?psyop aimed at foreigners to pretend they are not a horrible country-sized gulagpsyop aimed at thier own slave population to trick them into believing they are more than cannon fodderthe usual commuism thing, really
>>65372869A few AI prompts, your human could do better.
>>65372806Maybe you've been missing just lately what an utter pile of Potemkin Military nonsense communists really, actually have.YAY the DPRK has a fucked up BTR/ICBM direct horizontal fire turbo negro-hunting warhead!Every enemy they have that would... completely could ten times over. Seoul under artillery threat is just like europe under threat of drunken mobiks."Don't underestimate!"I did, fuck you. Do something rice nigger.
>>65372436I think you're fine, Norktard. It's fun reading some more knowledgeable insights into the norks.
Life or death question; For your life and eternal soul you have two champions to chose to represent you, the other will be your foe:>A platoon of Russian mobniks with 12 days training>A platoon of elite North Korean combat veterans, they are all NCOs and officers. All of them at least 87 years oldChose carefully
Wonder what this guy is going to do when North Korea gets into a prolonged shooting conflict and is revealed as woefully ineffective in war.
>>65372207North Korea is undeniably interesting. There are far worse special interests out there.
>>65372631>everything and everyone is a shill/psyopJesus christ cant we just enjoy one autists' esoteric knowledge of a fanatical kingdom?
>>65372877I think you're supposed to be yelling at somebody else. I posted the Bulsae because I like how it looks and it may have actually blown something up once.I know it's a BTR sardine can. Picrel. It's a funny vehicle like most Norks vics.The Norks are a Command and Conquer faction but real.Of course they'd lose, but would the Norks fold? Their brainwashing is way beyond what Soviets ever accomplished. The Kim dynasty are like Pharaohs in terms of the level of worship. Or maybe more like the Leader of the Reich.Anyway, my real interest was in seeing Norktard lay out a roadmap for the Norks allying with the West. (Surprise: he couldn't)
>>65371889Both sides used child soldiers extensively during the war so it's not surprising to see so many veterans still alive.I can't find it anymore, but there was a post on one of those Korean War memoir websites years ago from some Air Force guy telling the story of how he had to kill a nork child suicide bomber and it was genuinely one of the most soul crushing things I've ever read.
>>65374027Budanov himself mentioned that the Bulsae launchers were a major annoyance when they show up which is pretty rare. They completely misjudged it's battlefield role; the assumption was that it was a ATGM carrier, it isn't. It is a tactical missile launcher with a 15-20k range. It fills an intermediate role like ground based Brimstone launchers although it works differently. >>65374122Everyone tends to forget that everyone in that war was downright horrible.
>>65372677>i just thought it was decent of them to honor their war veterans>I don't care about BCD-XYZ, I literally just care about A>just A>I pinky promise that's all this is about>but if you consider B from a different angle...This is propaganda 101
>>65374434Of course it is propaganda! Literally everything they do is propaganda! It is why some people think they are hilarious and kinda cool, they appear to actually believe their own bullshit. It is so refreshing to see a nation that fully recognizes that they are cartoon super villains and are OK with that, like if Cobra from GI Joe was real.**Via SEK studios the DPRK has actually animated episodes of GI Joe btw, not even that most patriotic of cartoons is safe from the long arm of Juche.
>>65374434God, I despise you politics-obsessed war tourists. Fuck off back to r/gaygunowners or whatever subreddit you crawled out of.
>>65371889War vets? As far as Kim is concerned, all those geezers are still active duty.
>>65374732Do you actually believe anything out of Nork media after all this time? Have I got a bridge to sell to you. Those people are very likely random old people hand picked for this photo op. Given the bad healthcare levels in nork for plebs, I doubt many actual vets have survived to this day.
>>65371939>>65371933>>65371911I don't like this new style. It makes them look very Chinese.
>>65375520They got a thousand random old people, created fictitious back stories then trained them to act like Korean war vets so well that they acted out the parts perfectly on TV including hundreds of interviews? That seems so much more believable to you than them just getting some actual Vets? >>65375794I hate it, i especially hate them adopting the Russian style track suit.
>>65375520a lot of nork kids joined the military because there was literally nothing else for them to do. We bombed them into a parking lot, there wasn't a single building taller than one story in the entire country. Then once we got done with the buildings we started bombing their farms just to expend all the WW2 surplus ordinance still in inventory. They couldn't go to school or work the fields, and statistically their families were dead so there wasn't much else to do besides joining up with the great struggle.I'm sure there's some classic potemkin fuckery going on, but it's not surprising that there are still war vets kicking around.
