    This reminds me of that Russian parade a few months ago where they just rolled the same tank through a couple of times.

    Reminds me of the game Mercenaries Playground of Destruction.

    Where one faction had slick military vehicles, while another one had pickup trucks with gun turrets.

    If this dumb ass actually gets into it with a real major power, the entire country will be turned into a lake of fire.

    I feel very bad for the citizens.They do not want or deserve any of this.

    Uh, have they tested those? That exhaust looks like it would burn up the truck and any unfired rockets.

    Those Ron Deera tractors look real nice. Spacious cabs for when you need to cram your whole village in one to stay warm during the winter.

    Finally, a new sun rises on the Tankie World Powers, as westoids tremble in their foxholes

    I sat reading the comments and nodding along and then realized that all this discourse is essentially 'poor country can’t afford nice things '. I’d be really upset at someone that made fun of a person over the junker they drove because it was all they could afford.

      This is more the shitty gun they bought to scare their neighbor. Also, their kids are skipping another meal.

      I mean, if folks were making fun of their housing I’d agree but this is the equipment they’re buying to threaten their neighbors with, instead of feeding their starving population

        I’m certainly not pro military, but if I was NK I would focus on military parades too. Every year(?) the U.S. and SK practice invading NK the people who live near the DMZ are always under threat or told that they are under threat of invasion. So yeah dump trucks with missile launchers are great, because of nothing else the people near the DMZ know they can at least have mutually assured destruction on their side.

        There are entire generations of people who have lived in the fighting grounds of the U.S. and China. These parades show that these people will still put up a fight for their home.

        So yeah us rich and militaristic Americans can always have a good laugh at the poor parts of the world we threaten.

      If I had a poor neighbor that relied on me for food and financial support during hard times and then turned around and told everyone what a piece of shit I am and how much they’re going to fuck me up next time they see me, and how much better their car is than mine? Yeah, I would call them out for their shitty ass car when they pulled it out of the driveway and the door was duct taped on. And I wouldn’t really feel that bad about it.

      Not really, more like:

      Poor guy claims to be able to afford nice things, waves a load of junk dragged from the local scrap yard in front of the local homeless guys claiming it is amazing.
