    This is what a skillfully and timely "information battle" means, which North Korea and, most importantly, Russia - lost, almost with a "dry" score. It's time for us to make a "retaliatory move" and raise the "information wave ..." It's time, it's time to learn how to fight not only with military weapons, because our grandfathers knew how to do this during the Great Patriotic War and what is stopping us now, in a peaceful environment?

      can I clarify? what did we lose here? and what did the DPRK lose?
      facts:
      1. Americans carry out costly exercises on the other side of the earth during the economic crisis at home.
      2. North Korea has nuclear weapons - there will be no war.
      findings:
      everything is going as it should.

      if you have any objections, I will listen with pleasure.

        and the fact that the United States deployed its missile defense elements in that region on the "atomic-missile hysteria" and our country "kept silent", what asset will you count us - "positive" or "negative"?

          I think it makes no difference to us - this is the problem of China.

          let me clarify my vision of the missile defense problem:
          - This is just a convenient excuse for abuse between diplomats. agree, because in the event that you need to launch a missile strike in the United States, then it is more logical and faster to strike along the shortest path! and here it is necessary to pay attention to one moment, which is often ignored by the Americans - the Earth is round! accordingly, the shortest route for a rocket is over the Arctic Ocean, and not somewhere over China or Europe!

      North Korea is thinking about joining the two Koreas and asking for big money from the United States. South Korea is already in talks. The United States, while thinking and conducting reconnaissance of places, conducting exercises, is interested in how much they can ask for peace of mind.

    "During the exercises, the issues of countering" provocations by the DPRK "will be worked out - the main provocation is the very fact of such exercises being held in the immediate vicinity of the North Korean borders. Do not go to the gypsy - there will be saber-rattling in response.
    ... The cobra crawled away, it was again pulled out of the hole by the tail, and at the same time they were surprised: it was necessary, hissing, threatening ... I had completely lost fear.
