2/ ...and it just so happens that #PaloAlto released a long investigation into a newer and less well known North Korean crypto operation called "Slow Pisces" and/or "Jade Sleet" at the same time.

This time the #DRPK's crypto thieves pose as recruiters on LinkedIn and try to lure developers into doing various coding challenges hosted on #GitHub as part of a job interview. Doing a challenge leads to infection with custom Python #malware.

The #propaganda spokesperson #MariaZakharova says #fascist #russia will retaliate when #UK weapons are used against #russian territory [as if it's okay for russia to use #drpk weapons against #Ukraine ], but #fakeblond ain't smart, russia will suffer if they retaliate against UK, not even sure if #ccp #china would keep on supporting.

#old but I have to share in disbelief that I only discovered it now:

In 1970, a group of Japanese college kids fashioning themselves as #communist revolutionaries hijacked a plane with samurai swords to foment the overthrow of capitalist Japan, using the most half-baked plan ever, and managing to both magically succeed and fail at the same time. The story is WILD.

SPOILER: they make it to their new stronghold, Pyeongyang North Korea, but when they decided that they wanted to go back to Japan, guess what North Korea said?

The Insane Hijacking of Japan Airlines Flight 351

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement this one depicts a scene of terrible carnage, ie. #russia criminal war of aggression in #ukraine

President #YoonSukYeol - looking distressed and angry - clenches his fist and says 이게 무슨 장면 이야? "what the hell is this?" (lit. what scene is this?)

#putin - his arm around yoon - says comfortingly 자네 좋아하는 선제 타격 / "your favourite - pre-emptive strike"

In run up to his election, yoon claimed pre-emptive strike is only solution to #DRPK missiles

#촛불행동 #윤석열퇴진

So, what can be done?

Return to #PanmunjeomDeclaration as basis for a negotiated settlement between the two korean governments.

Cease provocative military actions. Remove US troops from peninsula. Allow SK to pursue independent foreign policy.

Reconsider support for Japanese government staffed with grandchildren of major war criminals who continue to deny japanese wartime atrocities? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not just #China and #DRPK who are offended by that. There's a reason SK can't join #quad

More background:

#US, #Japan carry out naval drills with #nuclear powered super carrier in sea of japan. South korean navy abstaining for obvious reasons: massive unpopularity with korean public for the idea of korean and japanese troops being seen on the same side.

This precipitated October #DRPK missile crisis including firing artillery shells in to naval buffer zones.
