South Korea is boosting its propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts at the border after North Korea floated more trash balloons southwards.
North Korea has resumed sending balloons carrying trash toward South Korea, Seoul’s military said on Sunday.
The military added that South Korea was stepping up its anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts across the heavily guarded border between the two Koreas.
“The North is launching another batch of rubbish-carrying balloons,” the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement, advising people not to touch the objects and report them to nearby military or police authorities.
South should dropped some fully-charged cell phones loaded with media and Wikipedia entries.
They’ve been dropping usb sticks over the border for like decades now.
For all those peasants with computers?
Phones mostly these days from what I understand, before that small digital video players which could also play usb stocks.
They’re poor and oppressed, not living in the Iron Age.
It’s estimated over a third of North Koreans have access to a computer at home. Just no internet…
They’ve already being doing that shit for years now. The trash balloons are a response to that.
Then SK should do it some more, seems to really bother NK for… some reason.
Maybe because they’re littering e-waste at a massive scale?
Well that’s just not true. Anything electronic landing broken in NK would be scavenged for parts in 5 minutes. People in the countryside there don’t have access to new things like those in Pyongyang.
They probably turn in the balloons to the local authority after they take what they want. Then the local police take some and send it to the main headquarters. I’m sure it’s like drug shipments that start out at 10 kilos and end up at 2 kilos by the time it reaches the evidence locker.
Source?
Are you asking for a source with unbiased info about North Korea? That’s almost impossible. Read some interviews with defectors and they will tell you how they bribed police or had hidden electronic devices.
The average person in NK is just like you or me, but they don’t have much more than some basic food and a few possessions. Their lives basically suck solely because of the government and they live right next to one of the most developed metropolises on Earth.

Hilarious that you’d say that when you pulled this from the same source:
That’s wild. I had no idea.
