    Her saying she misses her friends and that she couldn't find true friends is heartbreaking. Living through something like that, you learn who you can't and can't trust and those who remain loyal to you are people you stick with for the rest of your life if you can.
    I can't imagine how hard it must have been for her to leave that behind.

    When we watch this, we first must be remembered why those people have sanctions at first place, what they did..??
    Well, nothing. Their leader has dangerous weapons, so does Usa, Russia, China… They should not suffer.. Innocent people are punished for nothing.

    Everyone in North Korea should just not have sex and no kids. Why let a kid be born into such a hellhole? And could be a form of passive protest to allow the population to die down. Allow for change..

    It is so hard to wrap my head around my own country most times and to see the stark contrast between North and South Korean culture yet they both struggle to find freedom life has to offer is hard to wrap my head around and at the same time I am humbled immensely. We all have some sort of yearning for human freedom and at the same time due to whatever societal circumstances we conform to survive. My heart goes out to all those humans in any way they struggle to fulfill their hearts desire for freedom. I am sorry life is so convoluted when this beautiful world has been given to us all to enjoy for free yet humans makes it so complex and self serving.

    I guess white people did this on a larger scale by re writing history and colonising so that they appear to be superior and black people inferior. Brainswashing is deviish. Some people are not racist by choice it is just all they ever knew.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
