'North Korea has sent around 310 trash-carrying balloons across the border overnight, South Korea's military said.'
So I saw this story about a second volley of poop balloons, and my first reaction was to laugh out loud. Literally. Laugh out loud. This is just so ridiculous that all I could think of was little kids screwing up their faces and yelling “nanana!”: you send your cultural artifacts balloons to us, and we’ll send over some trash and poop. So there!
North Korea has sent around 310 trash-carrying balloons across the border overnight, South Korea’s military said Monday, amid escalating tensions over the North’s repeated balloon campaign to which South Korea has responded with the resumption of loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts after six years. Sunday’s launch marked the latest in the North’s balloon campaign that started on May 28, which it described as a “tit-for-tat” response to anti-Pyongyang leafleting by activists in South Korea. The North is estimated to have launched more than 1,600 trash-carrying balloons so far.
For years, North Korean defectors in the South and conservative activists have sent leaflets to the North via balloons to help encourage North Koreans to eventually rise up against the Pyongyang regime.
