North Korea criticized the United States for supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine, state media KCNA reported on Monday, citing a statement from the defence ministry.

The United States in recent weeks secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine for use in its battle to fight off Russian invaders, a U.S. official said on April 24.

On Sunday, the director of the Department of Foreign Military Affairs of North Korea's Ministry of National Defence was quoted as saying in a statement: "The U.S. has secretly supplied long-range missiles to Ukraine, sparking off uneasiness and concern of the international community."

"The U.S. can never defeat the heroic Russian army and people with any latest weaponry or military support," the director said.

"No fair! The missiles you're sending to Ukraine can shoot down the missiles we're sending to Russia!"

Can they? I thought ATACMS were more for targeting the missile launch sites 1000 km inside Ruzzia.

[-] bluGill@kbin.social 10 points 6 months ago

The US (and other European partners) is sending BOTH ATACMS for missile launch sites, and also PATRIOT for targeting incoming missiles. Two different systems for a different purpose and Ukraine is getting both.

Not just Patriot.

"The U.S. can never defeat the heroic Russian army and people with any latest weaponry or military support,"

Fat Kim, go fuck yourself.

"The U.S. can never defeat the heroic Russian army and people with any latest weaponry or military support."

LOL. As long as Ukraine keeps getting US weaponry, the USA won't even need to show up.

Nobody cares about your twerking for Russia, North Korea. Stop spouting nonsense for attention. It's pathetic.

[-] safesyrup@lemmy.hogru.ch 12 points 6 months ago

Why is it even reported on what north korea thinks or does? Nobody gives a shit anyway.

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago

For comedy effect?

God I wish that was true.

Foreign propaganda is wild.

“Heroic” Russia. Lmao.

Never has there been a “clean, white suit, hero” in all of history and to play utopian ideals is moronic and damaging to anyone who is actually paying attention to their surroundings/does any amount of introspection .

What a joke.

North Korea is playing a long game to say so much stupid shit that it makes them look endearing

Oh Kim you little rascal

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 0 points 6 months ago

Next step is Lil Kim plushies and ICBM body pillows in the Best Korea merch store.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 3 points 6 months ago

Clown theater.

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

See if they said something about sending weapons to Israel people would care.

Saying it about Ukraine however just makes them look even more pathetic.
