North Korea: Troops break bricks with bare hands in bizarre show of force
youtu.be
A new video of fierce-looking troops snapping breeze blocks with slow motion flying kicks and their bare fists has become the latest show of force in North K...

Why would they release this? It doesn't even show the nation's army's force it's just a circus for the powerful :kim: :funny-clown-hammer:

    I think he just finds it goofy, but the army guys love it because it's something fun to train for. Like this shit it exactly why tons of kids get hype about pro wrestling, it's all well rehearsed "feats of strength" that are pretty safe if done properly.

    Also it's not just DPRK that does this, ROK has been doing it too

        My local fair does stunts like this, it's nothing new or really that weird. Doing shows like this are also good for morale, people like seeing cool things and also training for doing cool stunt shows that make you look badass.

        It's not "cool", but it's not unique or even that odd. You're getting oddly hung up on like one of the most innocuous things. This is definitely more normal than shit like the tomb of the unknown soldier ceremony or the Buckingham palace guards.
