A North Korean ballistic missile fired last month by the Russian military in Ukraine contained hundreds of components that trace back to companies in the US and Europe, according to a new report.
The findings mark the first public identification of North Korea’s reliance on foreign technology for its missile program and underscore the persistent problem facing the Biden administration as it tries to keep cheap, Western-made microelectronics intended for civilian use from winding up in weapons used by North Korea, Iran and Russia.
The UK-based investigative organization Conflict Armament Research, or CAR, directly examined 290 components from remnants of a North Korean ballistic missile recovered in January from Kharkiv, Ukraine, and found that 75% of the components were designed and sold by companies incorporated in the United States, according to the report shared first with CNN.
We will end up building the weapons of our own destruction
“The last capitalist we hang will be the one who sold us the rope”
Nah we’ll use organic, locally sourced materials to deal with the last of the capitalists. Something that will return to nature just like their bodies.
The intent if the quote isn’t that cooperative capitalists will be shown mercy, but that capitalism by it’s very nature will destroy itself. If lynching calitalists comes into vogue, then someone will open a rope factory to squeeze out one last bit of profit before the end.
yeah it’s a dumb quote. you don’t need a capitalist to make rope.
It’s an allegory, dude. Is To Kill a Mockingbird a dumb title because theu don’t kill any birds?
It’s still super fucking dumb. I don’t give a shit.
There’s a non-zero chance we have already built them
