This is an absolutely must-see online documentary on the bizarro world that is North Korea, from the constant barrage of propaganda to the gaudy facade the DPRK puts on the crumbling nation.
Seriously though, I don't know we're still over there or why we're afraid of the PDRK. They haven't received any real military aid in almost two decades and if they're following the old Soviet doctrines, I doubt they can effectively fight against the United States.
Because if we leave, there's better than even odds that they'll invade and, while the South may be able to eventually beat them, there would be huge loss of life. Our presence deters them from acting.
NK is sooo weird. 'Holidays in the axis of evil' were allowed in to film. It was like a cross between twin peaks and the stepford wives
General Motors owns Daewoo and sells their cars successfully enough to float the NAO until we finish the "turnaround", so I'd say your reasoning is flawed. I just don't see why we've encamped the legions beyond economic interest, and part of me is uneasy by it. On the other hand, my pragmatic side enjoys the trade. Hmmm.
We're there because we Seoul and Tokyo are our allies and if we leave Lil' Kim will surely hit one or the other of them. With us there, they might try anyways but Pyongyang knows it'd be their ass if they did.
Bad timing. My Korean (south, of course) girlfriend just left. I would have liked her to see this and see what she thinks. We haven't ever really talked much about Korean politics with NK.
Neat. The goofy high-step march weirds me out. It's also weird seeing so many women in the military. The empty hotel from part 3 was especially weird. Totally a creepy place.
*BUMP* I just saw this BBC piece on NK and was reminded of the Vice one. What with NK being back in the news and all, I thought that this thread could use a bit of a revival.
What, is Necromancer back? This thread is from, like, 1957. I made that post on a vacuum tube punch card computing machine that ran on Windows II.I
