This is one of those toddler things where everyone can look and say “you’re only hurting yourself here”. Like who cares? They’re unused roads/tracks. This does literally nothing. NK, this isn’t even a show of strength… like any country can get some tnt and blow up a section of unused roadway.

Yeah. Proper countries blow up schools and hospitals. Or blow up the side of a mountain twice a year in the world's biggest and most expensive military drill.

NK’s monthly tantrum for attention, yawn.

They've sent enough soldiers and weapons to Ukraine that they're worried about their southern border being weak.
