    I want to use this to put into perspective for people another conflict.

    As Norman says in this video - Israel has bombed 72% of buildings in Gaza so far. Flattened.

    The US bombed 95% of all buildings in Korea during the Korean War. The US killed 1 in 5 of the entire population in the genocide it perpetrated there.

    What you are seeing in Gaza is a horrific awful genocide and what happened in Korea was worse.

    I feel like this comparison should put into perspective for people exactly what the US did to Korea to make the DPRK the way it is today in terms of its holding onto nuclear weapons and the massive military it keeps.

        It's from the TriggerNometry podcast (no idea if it's a good podcast overall. Edit to add: It's not, at least one of the hosts is a complete dipshit).
