North Korea said it will stop sending trash-carrying balloons into South Korea, claiming Sunday that its campaign left the South Koreans with “enough experience of how much unpleasant they feel.”

The North’s announcement came hours after South Korea said it would soon punish North Korea with “unbearable” retaliatory steps over its balloon activities and other recent provocations.

Observers say South Korea will likely restart front-line loudspeaker broadcasts into North Korea that include criticism of its abysmal human rights situation, world news and K-pop songs.

    “How did the world end grandpa?”

    “Well they were crazy times back then, ex and prospective presidents were convicted of paying hush money to a porn star and, little did we know where that would end. But the first step on the road to the downfall of civilisation actually happened with some balloons carrying poop.”

      Just to keep the shit accurate.

      He was convicted of false accounting. For classing his personal election legal/bribes costs. As buisness costs.

      Paying hush money is not actially a crime. Your Buisness paying political donations to yourself without identification as such is a crime.

        Tell that to future grandpa living in a cave to escape the hellscape of the surface, but I don’t think his main consideration is ensuring his tales of The Beforetimes are properly fact-checked.
