There is no shame in admitting that I decided to write about this just so I could use that headline. I don't typically do news stories, but that popped into my head as soon as I read the story. Also, anytime I can write about something that doesn't have to do with the Trump trial or Biden's inability to speak English, I jump at it.
Hey, a guy's gotta make a living.
We don't know much about North Korea's inner workings, as it's basically withdrawn from the international community. There's a good chance that most North Koreans don't know much about North Korea, either. The country is that much of a shut-in.
While we may never have access to the NoKo higher-ups who thought of this move, we can at least offer a few points for originality.
Some of the balloons reached as far as the southeastern part of the country, according to the JCS.
That's actually farther than a lot of the North Korean missiles go.
According to WaPo, the bags were filled with assorted trash and unidentified "filth," and some had manure in them. You didn't think I'd go without justifying the headline, did you?
The commies were very upset with South Korea's leaflet offering:
On Sunday, North Korea said it would take “tit-for-tat action” by scattering “mounds of wastepaper and filth” over the border.
“[South Korea] will directly experience how much effort is required to remove them,” North Korea said. “When our national sovereignty, security and interests are violated, we will take action immediately.”
I'm not even going to bother and search to see if there really is a close approximation of "tit-for-tat" in Korean. Heck, the phrase kind of weirds me out in English.
I think Congress should look into floating balloons for messaging. The House chamber filled with floating bags of poop seems symbolically perfect for a Uniparty gathering. It's a spot-on visualization of what goes on there now. Close your eyes, picture it, and tell me if I'm wrong.
See?
Not that I want to borrow a few words from a North Korean commie official, but it seems fitting here. The members of Congress should "directly experience how much effort is required to remove" the messes they make.
The citizens of the Republic are sick of having to do it.
Don't hate. You've already got the earworm going, so I will leave you with this:
