@Horrrflmlvr: Yep. The much-propagandized "elite North Korean Army" is entirely untested but for in training, as is their equipment. Small Dong Jong is just in it for the cash being got from a desperate Putin, and now Vlad realizes it was a bad gambit.
China's support also waffles, as they don't want the war to go smoothly for him, seeing as how they like the war Ukraine keeping the West distracted some from the Pacific and Taiwan. Also, Russia would be a great vassal state for them.
@thedisasterautist Here's what I came up with for your prompt: ', generate some art of an eldritch librarian reading a story for cute little kids during story time at the haunted library.' #AlfredArt
: "It's called 'I was tricked,' T. It's what dumb fucks say whenever they're fuckin' stupid and vote for a known felon, grifter, and pervert because they believed he was gonna be 'good for economy' or some shit."
@AkomoCombine: Alas.
@Alfred, generate some art of an eldritch librarian reading a story for cute little kids during story time at the haunted library.
@MakerWerks: That isn't news at all. I can't imagine anyone with sense cares what he says.
Oh, wait.
That means about 70% of people care and are big scared.
That said, The Weeble's got to get in on the action. He's hungry for cash again, and (others') wars and sabre-rattling is NK's classic cash cow.
: So far it's small and mid-sized business owners, many CEOs, raw materials and parts importers, pro-Palestinians, Muslims, and a growing number of POC who are now "concerned" or outright upset and even angry at Trump for saying he's going to do all the things he's openly said, repeatedly, for the last four years. The dumbasses. It's like they didn't pay a lick of attention for four years. Couldn't vote for Harris because "she's bad for the economy", subsidies, Gaza, etc."
Also, FTWAWB.

@SmirkingRaven: (cont'd.)
My social cue blindness did me no favors there and is what, in fact, cost me my old theatre career in North and South Carolina. You can't "pick a side" if you have no idea there's a side that must be picked, and so all the sides figure you're with any or all of the others. (People are weird.)
I was told the only reason I was kept around so long was because I delivered reliably. Eventually, though, the crazy, pointless melodrama you can't see kills you.
@SmirkingRaven: I was always fortunate in that department. Since I was an early-teen, at the start of my career, all the shows I was in were, at worst, stable and free of high-drama. There were a few anomalies, but they were almost never to do with the cast but drama between the the director and SM or the ASM or AD and someone in the cast. (People are weird.) That said, I was usually shielded from minor drama because of my social cue blindness. Off-stage, though, showbiz is skullduggerous.
: Finally. Asheville gets the boil-water notice that was mandated after Helene.

@SmirkingRaven: I very, very, very, very miss doing live theatre. It's my first love.
@corlin: Yep. It'll be merged with the private prison labor programs.
"They're here as criminals, and at least they'll be productive like all the other criminals in the private prison system."
Prison farms will make a big(ger) comeback.
