News from North Korea

Things are bad in the DPRK, again.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for waging another "arduous march" to fight severe economic difficulties, for the first time comparing them to a 1990s famine that killed hundreds of thousands.

Are you suggesting that there was an actual time when things were "not bad" in DPRK?

[Undried Plum]

Beating the crap out of the Septic invaders and fighting them to a standstill was "not bad". Was it?

They are still being punished for that.

Is that DPRK-speak admitting they've got Covid?

[Dushan]

Li'll fat Kim obviously never suffered from 1990s famine.

Well here's a lady with the low-down on N.Korea, so to speak...

[John Hill]

How does the young woman think the US could prosecute this chap for crimes against humanity?

I had to look at the video twice to understand what she was saying I was too distracted.

Don’t underestimate the powers of Uncle Sam, John. They may send Jack Bower after you one day.

[EA01]

All it takes John is for someone to say their intelligence confirms you have WMD......

[John Hill]

I think the difference is that in this case it really does appear that North Korea has WMDs.

Did she say something other than "diss somseing in dese hands"?

We need that Sarth Effrigan bloke back on the forum to interpret -- or to fellow admire.

Nice shopping bags. Forgot about the political *****.

[Boac]

Not sure what your problem is, UP - I can see both sides of the argument.

[Undried Plum]

I had to look twice, too.

Did anyone hear what she said?

Something about mungshaoe twice, Norse Korean. **** Dalai Llama. That sort of thing.

Nice tits, though.

I'll have with Fried Rice with mine. Light Soy Sauce, though.

I assume this is the man she is talking about...

In a peculiar twist last week, North Korea – formally the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) – announced that it was severing its diplomatic relations with Malaysia, after Malaysia’s highest court approved the extradition of a North Korean businessman, Mun Chol Myong, to the U.S. to face charges of money laundering. Mun is wanted for laundering funds in violation of United Nations and U.S. sanctions.

The US has been in a state of war with the DPRK since 1950 and I fail to see how any North Korean acting in the interests of his country could be criminally liable in the USA.

I suspect they'll be looking into the ways the US$ have been moved around and if it involves the US in any way, Bingo!

I think it's time for the world to dump the damn Dollar as a form of currency. It's a piece of shite with far too many strings attached.

That idea gets my vote, UP. On my more recent visits to Russia, I noticed that the euro seemed to carry more weight, as it were, than the dollar. It is also the second currency of preference in some less developed nations, too.

Her arguments seem very well balanced to me!
