NK’s monthly tantrum for attention, yawn.

This is one of those toddler things where everyone can look and say “you’re only hurting yourself here”. Like who cares? They’re unused roads/tracks. This does literally nothing. NK, this isn’t even a show of strength… like any country can get some tnt and blow up a section of unused roadway.

Yeah. Proper countries blow up schools and hospitals. Or blow up the side of a mountain twice a year in the world's biggest and most expensive military drill.

They've sent enough soldiers and weapons to Ukraine that they're worried about their southern border being weak.
