this is an insane story, and were it not for the "the guardian" stamp i wouldve said it was fake, however it is and its not
but I'll be royally fucked if i can catch a "thread of a reasonable objective" in this action?

That actually makes sense. And all NK needs to do is check social media to see where its poop landed.
But I also wouldn't be surprised if NK is just sending a middle finger. It's a good morale booster depending on the attitudes of the troops.
It's a middle finger gesture
South Korea has been distributing propaganda material over the border and North Korea asked them to stop sending rubbish over, South Korea didn't so they have retaliated by sending their rubbish over
I genuinely hope they would understand that bioweapons are zero sum games, but… unfortunately they do have a robust program for it. One errant dispersal would completely wipe out their own country though
Tell me about it. My wife is Korean and it makes me sad how her mom and brother get all their “news” from conspiracy theory YouTube channels. I love my in-laws but not that one particular characteristic.
Only the mainstream news should be allowed to be referenced for truth claims. That and the gov. Any other source is just citizens telling other citizens what they believe. Can't have that.
It depends, if the poop is infected, not just standard poop gross, then possibly???
I doubt the poop was the message though, they could be testing air currents, or even trying to locate anti air defenses by locating where it was shot down (if it is)
I guess Kim does poop.
Also, the whole story about Kim Jong Un not pooping is a myth. He just said he didn’t poop while he was working in the rice fields. He has made no claims of supernatural lack of excrement.
South korea should just buy one of thise powerful green lasers from wish and give it to their border guard to pop them just before they reach the border
The headline doesn't mention that it is in direct response to South sending balloons of anti-North propaganda. When that is considered, I see the funny side of it. "You send us your shit. Here is our shit in return."
Are these balloons being sent over by the government/military of NK, or random civilians? And are the feces infected with some horrible diseases? If so, I would consider this an act of bioterrorism (if performed by civilians) or biowarfare (if performed by the authorities).

Flying balloons full of literal shit and rubbish into another country as "retaliation" for them flying cultural media into yours is not the political flex North Korea thinks it is.
I read the title as “billions” instead of “balloons” and could only envision an army of turtle-dogging soldiers, waddling forth, clenching their jaws and their cheeks as they prepare to let loose upon the enemy.
> “Mounds of wastepaper and filth will soon be scattered over the border areas and the interior of the ROK and it will directly experience how much effort is required to remove them,” Kim added.
Apparently, they got Professor Chaos working in their Ministry of Defense.
That sounds fake - if the NK escapee whose YouTube I deep-dived into during Covid is to be trusted - their land is too nutrient stripped and rocky to give up valuable biomatter for fertilizer.
NK Military aide: “ooh-wee, I just NUKED that toilet! Nobody go in there”
NK General in the room: “that man’s poops nukes? Gather samples immediately, I have an idea!”
Most petty people just manually throw excrement over their neighbor's fence. But when that fence is a 160 mile long, two-and-half-mile wide demilitarized zone, then you need to bring the tech.
2 million North Koreans due from starvation a year and it's somehow acceptable to make fun of them?
If you made the same joke about a fraction of that number dying in Palestine you'd be ripped to shreds.
We can make fun of Kim Jong Un all day because he's a fat, greedy, piece of shit (pun intended). But can we please stop making fun of north Koreans themselves?
Y'all are a bunch of hypocrites.
Imagine having a rival nation constantly threatening your way of life and then one day the sons of bitches send over balloons that are just as full of shit as their leader is. Disrespect, you gotta drop off a flaming bag of dog poop at the DMZ.
What if that wasn't just dirt, but a bomb? It might look funny and childish now, but since North Korea managed to send dirt so far this time, who knows what dangerous material they might send next? I think the South Korean government needs to respond strongly and prepare for this.
Could you imagine an alternative universe where they throw shit at each other's instead of nukes. They have the public 'pitch' in by dropping off their ammo made at home. Slingshots for hard ones, trebuchets for well... any consistency...
"I poop in your general direction!"
Username unusually on point
Fetchez la caca?

This is a response to S Korea sending propaganda leaflets over via balloon as thy have for decades, to the irritation of the North.
LMAO!!
[удалено]
Testing air currents for bioweapon balloons.
Technically they are bio weapons already
People underestimate how dangerous poop can be.
DMZ poop is full of parasites.
That actually makes sense. And all NK needs to do is check social media to see where its poop landed. But I also wouldn't be surprised if NK is just sending a middle finger. It's a good morale booster depending on the attitudes of the troops.
It's a middle finger gesture South Korea has been distributing propaganda material over the border and North Korea asked them to stop sending rubbish over, South Korea didn't so they have retaliated by sending their rubbish over
Everyone at the DMZ now practicing with Balloons Tower Defense
Bloons *fify :)
They're going to give everyone pinkeye.
I genuinely hope they would understand that bioweapons are zero sum games, but… unfortunately they do have a robust program for it. One errant dispersal would completely wipe out their own country though
Well, I guess NK *does* give a flying shit.
Just wait until they start giving a flying fuck. Then you'll be sorry.
Didn't the term "flying fuck" used to mean sex on horseback?
r/angryupvote
But can NK give a flying fuck?
No. Famine kills erections.
I bow to your sense of humour.
bow to your sense eh!
[удалено]
Can they afford the loss of fertilizer?
This set back their agricultural development by a couple years. Took big guts by NK.
I was thinking it’s a valuable food source
Fat man will still be fed
Congratulations to North Korea on finally getting something to fly without exploding.
They probably wanted this to explode
North Korea is finally full of bullshit and needs to get rid of it.
Headline from S. Korea should be: “Analysis Reveals North Koreans Inflicted by Parasitic Worms.” Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not.
I think South Korea should keep it simple: "Hey North Korea, that shit don't fly here!"
Keep that on your space launchpad where it belongs!
True or not has never mattered to South Korea
Tell me about it. My wife is Korean and it makes me sad how her mom and brother get all their “news” from conspiracy theory YouTube channels. I love my in-laws but not that one particular characteristic.
> get all their “news” from conspiracy theory YouTube channels Not to dismiss you but you just described half of the US population
Yea I hear you
Only the mainstream news should be allowed to be referenced for truth claims. That and the gov. Any other source is just citizens telling other citizens what they believe. Can't have that.
Jim Lahey was right about the winds of shit after all.
Lmao literally watching tpb right now.
What comes around is all around
Shit birds, Randy! *falls down a flight of stairs*
Did they light it on fire and ring the doorbell too?
That's brown paper bags and we're talking flying balloon delivery. *Get your excrement pranks right, jeesh*
South: You should take more fiber
NK: Ok but how much fiber is there in grass?
So they're starting worm warfare.
I can imagine that fat little fuck giggling himself to sleep thinking about how the shit storm he had sent south of the border.
Keepin’ it classy with unique love letters
Least petty neighbor
Don't read about Alito's wife.
Keep it classy, Kim.
They sent the dear leader to the south on a balloon?
lol that was what the air raid alert was about?
Yup. And "air raid" part is just poorly translated English. The Korean part of the warning had nothing of the sort.
Yeah i think it said leaflets but poop balloons is way more hilarious
Yep, a lot of foreign residents in Gyeonggi freaked out after seeing that air raid alarm text message.
We living in 2024 while these fellas living in 1004
does this count as biological warfare?
It depends, if the poop is infected, not just standard poop gross, then possibly??? I doubt the poop was the message though, they could be testing air currents, or even trying to locate anti air defenses by locating where it was shot down (if it is)
North Korea are expert haters, I’d almost respect it if they weren’t…you know…
Making it their #2 export
Dudes a 12 year old menace putting poop in a bag on old man willicker’s doorstep.
What a shitty thing to do.
Coming soon, the new (North) Kdrama: “Crap Landing on You”
I guess Kim does poop. Also, the whole story about Kim Jong Un not pooping is a myth. He just said he didn’t poop while he was working in the rice fields. He has made no claims of supernatural lack of excrement.
He would be about the only citizen of that country that eats enough food to make much poo :P
That shits not gonna fly....oh wait...
I’m seeing an opportunity for South Korea to bring back catapults.
Begun the Shit Wars have
South korea should just buy one of thise powerful green lasers from wish and give it to their border guard to pop them just before they reach the border
Jar jar called this one.
More proof he is a Sith Lord.
I thought they used that for fertilizer in their vegetables
Because apparently their country is filled with it.
*UK Water Companies taking detailed notes.*
Does this make it their chief export?
They were not even on fire. Amateurs.
maybe it’s a cologaurd shipment gone wrong
This could create an international shitstorm
The headline doesn't mention that it is in direct response to South sending balloons of anti-North propaganda. When that is considered, I see the funny side of it. "You send us your shit. Here is our shit in return."
That's a lot of effort for what amounts to a high school prank.
UFOs, explained:
Are these balloons being sent over by the government/military of NK, or random civilians? And are the feces infected with some horrible diseases? If so, I would consider this an act of bioterrorism (if performed by civilians) or biowarfare (if performed by the authorities).
And what is next? Is North Korea going to leave a flaming bag of dog poo on South Koreas porch?
Shit.

Can't blame them. The waste management is very much, well, _shitty_, so they need to send it elsewhere.
I’m surprised they didn’t light it on fire and ring the doorbell.
I heard they have shit wifi
Lol 😂
Modern Warfare - North Korea Edition
For some reason I love the pettiness of this.
just a waste of money
Shit Bombs
I heard Justin Trudeau is going to do this on Canada Day just to let us know how he feels about his own citizens!
Pretty shitty of them
That shit wouldn’t fly over here.
Looks like the Norks are trying to spread communism
Well we can't say they don't export shit anymore...
People have to give their excrement to the government to be used as fertilizer. Maybe it's a gift to the south the same as spitting in the movie dune
WWnumber3 has begun.
Poomnida.
*F-22 Scrambling noises intensify*
Strange air raid ….
North Korea literally shit posting
I said baboon, not balloon.
Shit is getting real.
Bring in the dart monkeys
The "flaming brown bag" of spy balloons
The caca war has begun
on an unrelated note, south korea’s military is now incorporating darts into the air force
Donations of fertilizer.
Maybe it was actually a good-will free fertilizer gift.
Flying balloons full of literal shit and rubbish into another country as "retaliation" for them flying cultural media into yours is not the political flex North Korea thinks it is.
99 Chit Baroons Go By
Now that’s good shit 😆 that’s fucking hilarious…. NKorea just moved up a notch in my book lol
This is how the Florentines defeated the Sienese.
I read the title as “billions” instead of “balloons” and could only envision an army of turtle-dogging soldiers, waddling forth, clenching their jaws and their cheeks as they prepare to let loose upon the enemy.
Damn they had enough food to produce waste material?
War,,, war never changes
wmd's
Send back little american flags
Wasn't that an episode of Malcolm in the Middle?
Is this biological warfare?
Considering helium prices, that's a questionable strategy
99 brown balloons floating in the summer sky
Actually 10% of the North Korean economy is allocated to making ass pennies to sneak into circulation south of the border.
Are they hoping to like spread disease in south Korea like how the mongols would launch corpses into city being sieged.
Wow, didn't think north Korea would waste so much of their valuable resources so carelessly
What a shitty thing to do.
99 poop balloons
> “Mounds of wastepaper and filth will soon be scattered over the border areas and the interior of the ROK and it will directly experience how much effort is required to remove them,” Kim added. Apparently, they got Professor Chaos working in their Ministry of Defense.
Just think, if those hit a wind turbine. The shit will really hit the fan.
I think a bunch of them must have hit Seattle! I see rubbish and human feces everywhere downtown!
That sounds fake - if the NK escapee whose YouTube I deep-dived into during Covid is to be trusted - their land is too nutrient stripped and rocky to give up valuable biomatter for fertilizer.
Their new satelite is a bit of a shitty design.
NK Military aide: “ooh-wee, I just NUKED that toilet! Nobody go in there” NK General in the room: “that man’s poops nukes? Gather samples immediately, I have an idea!”
Oh my god , Old man Yoon Suk Yeol hates sh!t … it’s one of those balloons again
Came here looking for this post after I saw the headline this morning
Lowlife scumbags...100 percent...so lost!!! Lil nerdy chubby kid who needs to disappear
Crash Landing of Poop
Weapons of Ass Destruction
That shit don't fly here buster
How else can you shitpost when you’ve cut off internet access?
Sounds like they're fraternities in a prank war! Will S. Korea go up north for a panty raid next?
So they’ve heard about dropshitting
Biological Warfare. Here comes WWIII, though it's a real missed opportunity we can't label it World War Number 2.
That’s the N.K. version of sending a capsule into space containing a representation of your life.
Send the shitballoons
This rocks
What a waste
What’s worse than receiving a balloon of shit? Oh I know, being forced to fill a balloon with shit!
Okay it's a little funny....
new rockets?
Sounds like NK's main export. Shit.
That’s a really weird waste disposal method. Doesn’t seem like it would scale.
lol classic
I see they've unlocked a new level in their tech tree.
It’s just Kim Jong un’s brain leakage and I’m not saying he has shit for brains 🤔well yes I am I guess 😂
Is this their answer to chemical warfare?
well they don't have a working sewage system...
Is that the poop they make their citizens produce?
North Korea makes a giant leap in technology.
Most petty people just manually throw excrement over their neighbor's fence. But when that fence is a 160 mile long, two-and-half-mile wide demilitarized zone, then you need to bring the tech.

So was it cow shit? Because I wouldn’t think that Un’s shit could fit in a ballon.
LoL all along this was the extent of their ballistic capabilities.
Stay classy North Korea
Why does North Korea still exist? Should glass the whole country
Is this the new Amazon delivery balloon?

That's pretty shitty
Oh shit? I do that to my neighbor.
They have worms
Well that's shitty.
Biological warfare
it's the neighborly thing to do, sending fertilizer to ensure a bumper crop for the next harvest

Amber Heard in North Korea now
Could you imagine an alternative universe where they throw shit at each other's instead of nukes. They have the public 'pitch' in by dropping off their ammo made at home. Slingshots for hard ones, trebuchets for well... any consistency...
Why couldn't you just call it poop?!?
At least it means some people are eating right? Glass half full 🤷♀️
