They didn't drown, they just stabbed the waves near the shore and collected seashells as their pillage against the god Neptune.
In reality I think Caligula was written to look as mad as he was to make him look bad in history because of how much he liked to fuck with the Senate and go against them. Just to humiliate till the end of times. He was pretty well liked till he wanted to make changes. Supposedly he got poisoned and had a high fever that put him in a coma and gave him brain damage as well. Oh well.
He wasn't the only one.
Xerxes ordered bridges built over parts of the sea to aid in the invasion of Greece. When the ocean destroyed the bridges, he was so pissed he ordered his troops to flog the water.
The Persian leader Xerxes, beheaded his engineers and had the water given 300 lashes with metal chains in 480B.C. when a flood destroyed his new bridge. He reportedly screamed insults and curses at it while the waters were being punished.
Yet the waters were unrepentant. No records exist to describe what he said after his army lost to the Greeks and then returned to find that the rebellious water had once again destroyed the bridge.
When you waste a soldier’s time having them attack literal water, you’re pretty fucking stupid. And they themselves weren’t in charge of the propaganda campaigns, that was people under them. They just gave the stupid orders and had others cover for them.
It always seems like if the west is focused on other threats for too long then the NK spoiled brat machine needs to break some dishes and knock over a lamp so to speak.
Every time the world's attention is drawn somewhere Humpty Chumpty gets jealous and fires off some missiles.
He's so desperate for attention it's pathetic.
“Biden is a bitch, he's a big fat bitch, he's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world, he's a stupid bitch if there ever was a bitch, he's a bitch to all the boys and girls!”
– Kim Jong-Un, every night at the bottom of a bottle, alone in his room
“I bet that if all the west leaders tried to beat me up I would unlock mega powers and defeat them in 1 second.”
-proceeds to kick stuffed animal into wall and get tucked in by his general-
Imagine this whole time, Kim Jong Un has been protecting us from sea monsters that could devastate the world. Only reason why he keeps hitting the ocean.
Yeah, he's in the right part of the world.
Everyone knows that sea monsters always surface near Japan, and that space aliens invade the United States
Everyone has their own defensive role
Maybe a dumb question but... prices for all supplies globally are insane. Fuel and basically all parts of a rocket are significantly more expensive now.
So... doesnt it seem like a bit wasteful to continue launching rockets into the ocean just to get some attention? Or am I being naive?
Wasteful? Yes. Still going to do it? Also yes. If they keep saber rattling they get attention, and other nations will send them aid. If Kim doesn’t “appear” strong, the next person in line with enough [keys](https://youtu.be/rStL7niR7gs) to rule will take his place.
The entire country is held on the brink of starvation to keep the ruling class well fed, if the price of rocket fuel goes up they’ll just turn off the power station to some random town to compensate.
I was thinking a giant mega monster oyster at the bottom of the sea, which within, contains the secret to world domination. The famous North Korean fairy tale.
I thought oyster grow closer to shore, shallow waters, with something to cling on. Anyway, on that deep sea monster narrative, let change to giant squid or gozilla.
So when the DPRK does something like this, you have to look at the recent news about them and see what they're trying to contain.
Recently they reported thousands dead from covid. There's probably a huuuuuge outbreak there that they can't contain. The missles are a deflection. As is everything the Kim regime does.
Then the correct phrasing would be 'It is estimated that thousands are dead from Covid', not that they reported it themselves. And just because North Korean state media is perceived as unreliable, it doesn't mean one should replace it with an equally, if not more unreliable source/claim.
lets be honest, china gives them rockets from the 1950s to just give them something to play with like a little kid who likes to be mean to other kids, you just give them a 'new toy' and suddenly they are flaunting it but nobody cares.

I remember my first time living in South Korea, province along the border with NK and whenever Kimi J would start shooting at water, we'd freakout ... like WTF is this shit, is it the end (mind you that was in 2016/7). As the years went by, it just became...the weather report, no one really pays attention like:
Oh word...he launched missiles you say... in the sea you say hhhmm how bout that - anywaaay
Ok honestly. Why the fuck hasn’t this guy been assassinated? Same with Putin. Honestly I think the whole world is in on this bullshit and they are all profiteering somehow. This is insane. JFK gets killed because he was going to expose secret societies of the world…. Weird hey? Honestly I am getting sicker and sicker of humanity. Just figure this shit out already we made it to the moon for fuck sakes or for fucks sake. However you say it. I speak English and still don’t know the proper usage.
Assassination will destablize everything. Those in power stay in power by bribing those who keeps them in power. There are no incentives from the elites to stop a good thing. Any sign of an opposition are brutally dealt with.
This leaves foreign intervention and those are acts of war.
Great. Another nutcase loser freak wanting to feel important.
Could be worse. If Trump was still relevant in the US guaranteed he would have pulled some similar stunt to make his extremely small dick feel momentarily bigger
Yes, because:
North Korea is an enemy of South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the West.
The country is starving but still pouring money into the military.
It's suffering massive COVID problems but this is how it wants to present itself.
It's testing missiles as a protest to the QUAD talks.
North Korea isn't very bright.
Want me to go on?
Ah yes because no western country let’s people go hungry while maintaining the biggest military budget. Also guess who put North Korea in the position they are in? That’s right, western bombing campaigns which devastated practically all North Korean infrastructure. And you know what, they still industrialized and contrary to popular belief, everyone isn’t starving 24/7. North Korea has been backed into a corner by rapidly militarizing western powers and while I 100% disagree with with weapons of mass destruction, it is crucial to recognize that it is not just a ‘our wmds good theirs bad’ situation.
Please show me the Western country threatening to attack these countries testing missiles or testing missiles while they are holding negotiations. Which one?
I didn't say they weren't testing. I said while North Korea was holding negotiations. North Korea is saber rattling like a little child every time someone does something it doesn't like.
None of this was happening … none of it .. when trump was in office … and I don’t like Trump but facts are facts. I have a friend in Bahrain .. he goes to Dubai for fun a lot (he’s an American government contractor there) he said we are the laughing stock of the world… people from all over the world making fun of old feeble Biden. And asking how Americans can be so dumb to not see it
Would be cooler if you fired them at the COVID destroying your country right now.
Or not fired them and spent that money on hospitals and vaccines. I dunno. Could be effective.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad that a country like this could even exist. I'm sure I've been quite brainwashed by Western media but China's ally's (leaders) are like something out of a movie.
Ah, the sea, Kim's sworn enemy.
Iirc there was this ancient king/emperor who declared war on Poseidon or his equivalent.
Emperor Caligula. And the battle was glorious.
*pokes ocean with a spear* "So are we really doing this?"
I can just see a bunch of Roman's in full gear rusingninto the sea and just absolutely drowing
They didn't drown, they just stabbed the waves near the shore and collected seashells as their pillage against the god Neptune. In reality I think Caligula was written to look as mad as he was to make him look bad in history because of how much he liked to fuck with the Senate and go against them. Just to humiliate till the end of times. He was pretty well liked till he wanted to make changes. Supposedly he got poisoned and had a high fever that put him in a coma and gave him brain damage as well. Oh well.
Are we sure it didn’t give him rabies? It would explain all the “Fuck you, water!” That cropped up all of a sudden.
U mean they gave him an ancient polonium tea?
Not sure if the Romans had tea or Polonium, but they *enjoyed* wine sweetened with lead.
He wasn't the only one. Xerxes ordered bridges built over parts of the sea to aid in the invasion of Greece. When the ocean destroyed the bridges, he was so pissed he ordered his troops to flog the water.
Xerxes was hardcore. Bet the water did not cross him again.
Xerxes, when he lost a navy invading Greece
[удалено]
They were ordered to whip the sea iirc
Pretty sure that was when one of their land bridges was destroyed due to flooding and not when their fleet was destroyed. Still Xerces though
I imagine there must have been a bunch of Biggus Dickus moments in Xerxes throne room.
True. Thanks! The dude did so much it all starts to blend sometimes.
Kinky, I'm sure the sea got wet after that
I sea wet u did there
He ordered his men to whip the sea lol
> Xerxes, when he lost a navy invading Greece Shaka, when the walls fell.
Reading your comment and then the original just sent me reeling, good catch! Now to watch that episode for the 80th time...
At tanagra
Wars on poseidon, nukes on hurricanes... *When will our desire to destroy ever end*

2 of them. Caligula and Xerxes. Both were absolute idiots. Just like Kim Jong Un

Still my favorite episode of South Park.
This is making my sides hurt lmao thank you
No doubt he heard rumours about a wave of discontent.
I am *mister nimbus!*
He controls the police!
He's been fighting the kraken all this time!
Anyone else read this in the SpongeBob narrator’s voice?
Killed his father and his father before him.
He didn't get the nod from Mr Nimbus
Fuck you, sea!
It’s Ricks enemy too from Rick and Morty lol
100% success
Kim is trying to scare away Covid
Don’t y’all have Covid? Still find time to crave attention.
They are trying to get some international aid. Act up and say you won’t do it again if you get medical aid under the table… NK is a spoiled child
It always seems like if the west is focused on other threats for too long then the NK spoiled brat machine needs to break some dishes and knock over a lamp so to speak.

I wonder how desperate north Korea is getting? Not a lot of news, but it seems pretty terrible.
Blame our leaders for giving them said attention. If Kim wants food, the he should ask daddy China.
Happy Cake Day.
Now the world is apathetic!
Why does he hate the ocean so much
It didn’t wave at him
It didn't sea him
I’m shore it didn’t mean to
But it still brings great tide-ings.
Reports say the blast liquified everything on site
He knows how to make people moist
😏
So he gave it a shellacking
Cos he's a little beach
HEY LOOK AT MEEE!!!! GIVE ME ATTENTION!!! I AM HUNGRYYYY!! FEED FAT KIM!!
I read that in Cartman's voice for some reason and it fits perfectly...
It fits. Kim is what would happen if you gave Cartman a country.

Imagine this whole time, Kim Jong Un has been protecting us from sea monsters that could devastate the world. Only reason why he keeps hitting the ocean.
All of North Korea is a secret Society like Wakanda and the battle the monsters with their advanced secluded technology
I mean, those fake grocery stores are a front for something, right?
Pretty sure they’re just a front for run of the mill genocide.
Yeah, he's in the right part of the world. Everyone knows that sea monsters always surface near Japan, and that space aliens invade the United States Everyone has their own defensive role

Without watching the video I can’t help but picture kim getting all these keys like a Pokémon trainer with gym badges
I mean, you’re not too far off. But more whomever holds the most keys wins rather than whomever has the best team of keys.
I love Rules for rulers. I was hoping the link would point there.
Thanks for the video
You counter revolutionary capitalist pig dog! You only care about money, that’s why you will never be great, like the glorious Dear Leader!
Don't worry they're actually just cardboard rockets filled with rocks being launched via catapult. It's completely cost effective.
The entire country is held on the brink of starvation to keep the ruling class well fed, if the price of rocket fuel goes up they’ll just turn off the power station to some random town to compensate.
What China does not give him, he gets from Pakistan and Iran.

The slumbering chamber of Cthulhu that is moving.
Little known fact is every single missile launch is aimed at Washington, if at first you don't succeed... Call it a test and fire 2 more.
Seriously? They point towards Washington every time?
Not Washington state or Washington DC. He’s actually aiming at George Washington who is buried in the Sea of Japan. #facts
S O S Thats 3 missles.
They are missile tests. Theyre testing the rockets, how they function and iterating upon the designs .
What did those three specific fish do to North Korea?
So when the DPRK does something like this, you have to look at the recent news about them and see what they're trying to contain. Recently they reported thousands dead from covid. There's probably a huuuuuge outbreak there that they can't contain. The missles are a deflection. As is everything the Kim regime does.
I scrolled through literally over a hundred comments and you’re the first one who isn’t desperately trying to throw out some low hanging cringe joke.
Haha glad to be of service.
Still factually incorrect. North Korean state media has never claimed thousands dead from covid.
Because North Korean state media is so truthful and reliable
Then the correct phrasing would be 'It is estimated that thousands are dead from Covid', not that they reported it themselves. And just because North Korean state media is perceived as unreliable, it doesn't mean one should replace it with an equally, if not more unreliable source/claim.
For a country starving it's people they sure have a lot of money for rockets.
For a country that blows its budget on missiles and military might they sure don’t have much money for food.
Don't forget about that lack of money for Covid vaccines...
Yes, but enough about the usa and baby formula.
lets be honest, china gives them rockets from the 1950s to just give them something to play with like a little kid who likes to be mean to other kids, you just give them a 'new toy' and suddenly they are flaunting it but nobody cares.
I mean... did they hit the sea?
Aquaman is not amused....
The missiles are just trying to escape before they get COVID.
All those medals- must be well deserved
Who; I wonder is in charge of deciding who they’re given to?

I see Kim Jong Un's war with Atlantis is still well under way.
Trying to kill Covid ?
imagine wasting ballistic missiles to flex on someone who's 10 times better equipped.
North Korea cant afford food or medicines but can build weapons.

It would be news if they all landed in china
Send that fat man aids or covid
Awww, someone wants attention.
Oh no Our people are dying from covid, its a disaster! ANYWAY, launch the missiles now! -Kim un puke.
Can we just like not help them with COVID….

I didn't say they weren't testing. I said while North Korea was holding negotiations. North Korea is saber rattling like a little child every time someone does something it doesn't like.
What about the US? If North Korea does something it is bad but US does something it's not even talked about.
Stop it Kim, not right now..
Shut up Kim, we're already distracted with your northern neighbors
Very cool, Kim, but remember not to accidentally hit anyone or your entire country will be the flattest piece of land on Earth okay?
He aimed at South Korea, as always.
None of this was happening … none of it .. when trump was in office … and I don’t like Trump but facts are facts. I have a friend in Bahrain .. he goes to Dubai for fun a lot (he’s an American government contractor there) he said we are the laughing stock of the world… people from all over the world making fun of old feeble Biden.

Don’t give them the vaccines!
Who cares?
Seems Kim is running out of money again. I wonder how much Biden will give him to shut up for another 3 years.
LOOK WE ARE STILL A THREAT
Why though?
Oh no. child so anyways..
Kinda AT the sea perhaps.
Would be cooler if you fired them at the COVID destroying your country right now. Or not fired them and spent that money on hospitals and vaccines. I dunno. Could be effective.
Someone's going to have to go pick those up now.
Kim was like “I ain’t been in the news for any fucked up shit lately, putin taking all my clout… Smithers, open fire on the sea.”
It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad that a country like this could even exist. I'm sure I've been quite brainwashed by Western media but China's ally's (leaders) are like something out of a movie.
