Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Usually I'd agree with you, but S Korea is in an unusual situation where they would actually get overrun without their army. They're still technically at war, and N Korea does plenty of sabre rattling.

That's not a place like the US, where the military is mainly used for overseas adventures, they face real, external threats.
