They are such evil beings! Drop Big Boy on NK

This is what they should do to murderers in the U.S.

Shocker 🤷‍♀️

Well, North Korea seems to be the type of place where, if they had no orders to kill him, those two soldiers might then be executed for murder, and, if they did have orders to kill the man, they may still be executed to save face now that this event is an international incident.

realDonaldTrump 🤔

This is one person, and as sad as it is IF TRUE, there’s more going on in the world that needs looking at.

Never underestimate how much North Koreans are taught to hate South Koreans.

Great.... 🤫. North Korea is always so ‘kind and friendly.’ Who wouldn’t want to be friends? Who? Everyone on earth? They are a horrid regime.

Because the Iniquity of this world is increasing rapidly We need to understand that if we don't leave the system now. We will be pure evil in the life we are building.

Is this how WWIII begins?

This is not good..... what is everyone so scared about? Seriously what is it that makes everyone so scared of North Korea? To me it can be taken out very quickly and no one would have to worry about that country or KimJung un for that matter 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you don't vote in November and vote Trump out you will be next.

South Korea official shot dead by North Korean troops after crossing border: SeoulA South Korean official was shot dead after crossing a maritime border into North Korea, Seoul officials say To pa ni lepo, streljati ljudi, ki nezakonito prečkajo mejo. V Sloveniji takšne objemajo, krmijo oblačijo in se jih veselijo, kajne Fajonka? The man reportedly fell off a boat that was in the water (was reported missing). Logical conclusion would be the man tried to swim ashore to get help, and NK guards panicked and shot him to death. That’s what happens when you cross into another country without approval. What a dumb move for South Koreans to allow this..smh. North Korea owes no explanation. They have the right to protect themselves from intrusion as they see fit.
