**Hwasong PB-27**, colloquially known in the West as the "Poop Balloon," is a high-altitude aerial system developed and operated by North Korea. It is primarily used for psychological warfare and is believed to be part of North Korea's unconventional military arsenal.
#### Overview
The Hwasong PB-27 is a balloon-based system designed to carry and disperse various payloads over enemy territory. Despite its informal nickname, the system is capable of carrying a wide range of materials, including but not limited to waste paper, cloth scraps, and cigarette butts.
#### Development and Deployment
The exact date of the Hwasong PB-27's development is unknown, but it was first observed in significant numbers in 2023. The system is believed to have been developed as a cost-effective means of retaliation against South Korean civilian activists who fly anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets across the border.
#### Technical Specifications
- **Type**: Balloon
- **Payload capacity**: Estimated 5-10 kg
- **Operational altitude**: Varies, typically 500-2,000 meters
- **Propulsion**: Wind-driven
- **Guidance system**: Wind
#### 16th Poop Balloon Regiment
The 16th Poop Balloon Regiment at Kaesong is known for its high morale and dedication to the mission. To maintain enthusiasm and patriotic fervor, the unit frequently engages in group singing of specially composed propaganda songs. Some of these include "Let Us Fulfill Kim Il Sung's Plan Of Making South Korea A Toilet Bowl", "Our Fecal Bombs Will Rain On Seoul", and "We'll Bury The South In Our Glorious Waste".
These songs are performed during daily assemblies and launch ceremonies, often accompanied by choreographed movements mimicking balloon releases and scatological themes.

>“The unfolding events demonstrate the extent to which Moscow has deeply depended on sanctuary in Russian territory to wage its war against Ukraine,” Barros told CNN.
This is a key takeaway.
I hope the Biden Administration is watching closely. They need to see when Russia's sanctuary is lifted, and Ukraine isn't restrained behind imaginary red lines, they can achieve success on the battlefield, however small or incremental it may be. Russia's response needs to be observed, no doubt, but will it be as fearful or consequential as what their escalation and provocation rhetoric would have us believe? ... time will tell.
Really hoping Ukraine continues to see success with this offensive.

I said socialize health care. I have never said anything about stopping pet care. I don't know where you got the idea I wanted to stop pet care. Pet care is good. What is wrong, is when a pets get more healthcare than humans. I was hoping you would agree with that statement but you don't.

I never said I do. I do not. I don't care about some fancy rat.

Then why did you even bring pet care to it? The dog is a red herring (yes, that sounds zoologically improbable).
I am not sure socializing health care is the solution, though it might be _a_ solution. _By your standard, as originally stated_ it is not (but your standard is stupid).
> What is wrong, is when a pets get more healthcare than humans.
No. Still irrelevant. Pet care just does not matter to this. _That_ is what I have a problem with in your statements. Screw the chihuahuas (figuratively, please). They do not matter.

>Then those fees must way exceed the loan amount + taxes to make it worth, otherwise the lender is losing money until the debt is paid.
I mean ya, the relationship is certainly profitable taken as a whole. For example, if JPM provides a personal revolver to someone line Musk, they do it so their cross product desk can pitch investments to him; their FX desk can execute currency trades; they can act as lead bank/underwriter on Tesla's bonds and syndicated credit facilities; any fiat currency sits in JPM deposit accounts so then be redeployed; etc.
The revolver is relatively safe because Musk pledges as collateral his shares in Tesla, and maybe is required to maintain secured deposit accounts. There's probably also clean down covenants whereby Musk can't utilize 100% indefinitely.
>And if they earn they earn that much then they have to pay taxes on their gains. So it's just shifting tax burden from billionaires to their lenders.
This is a non issue.

Pretty much anything that goes over Roman financial policies in the later empire.

The UK Extradition Act 2003 requires it to be a crime in Britain and in the country extradition is occurring. The statement by the police commissioner was a deeply incompetent miscalculation. US citizens cannot be extradited to the UK for inciting racial tensions or inciting hatred as no comparable legislation exists in the US.
The UK lacks jurisdiction over US citizens exercising their amendment rights to free speech and certainly cannot extradite them.

As far as the government is concerned (at least in the US), it absolutely does. As far as your employer, your neighbors, and your family, you are correct.
I’m not a free speech absolutist, but it seems to me that respectful free speech needs to be tolerated and encouraged in a civil society. You should be allowed to insult, disagree and offend people. You do not have the right to endanger them. If someone doesn’t like what you say, they should have enough grit to tell you to f— off.

Yes when unmarked vans with swat officers with their identity and badges hidden we’re taking people without official arrest.
My overall point was: it’s all well and good having a free speech law on paper, but it isn’t a right and the government only honours it when it’s convenient for them.
Free speech in reality doesn’t exist.

Edit: It's just a power trip on the commissioner's part, how about focus on what's going on in YOUR country, and don't threaten to punish others for having an opinion. ESPECIALLY if you don't back up what you say. This is how you start wars.

Because they killed someone who wasn't the target?
Why should Norway allow agents from another country to act without impunity in their country? Even if it was the right target, what gave Israel the right to do so without informing Norway of it first?
