    Who North Korea probably still thinks is a world super-power

    This is just shitty world-building. Even if you believe North Korea is deeply weird prison country where people eat rats that eat people and push trains, the leadership knows what’s going on in the world.

        I remember as a kid when Saddam Hussein was bad, one of the propaganda things about him was in private he’d wear a cowboy hat and watch US movies. Like that’s how they need to Portray Kim Jong-Un. Slipping out of his leader’s uniform to put on baggy blue jeans and fire up MTV etc

    Pretty awesome if Putin pulled this off. Would be the largest strategic victory for a US enemy since Osama Bin Laden made the empire kill itself with 9/11

    Liberal fanfiction, this is idealism in action.

    Side note, for any DPRK-heads, is there actual risk of war with ROK? Seems to me DPRK is hunkering down after giving up on reconcilliation, not that they are escalating, it’s my understanding that neither side wants war.

      They’re responding to a drone dropping propaganda on them last I heard and they blew up a roadway leading south. So there goes any real talks for now I’d imagine. Still SK are bastards for trying what they did.

        They’ve also dissolved peace talk committees, to my knowledge, and are severing diplomatic ties. This to me seems more like hunkering down, you’d figure they would keep talks open during wartime as the goal would be to have favorable surrender conditions for the ROK to the DPRK. Just my uninformed guess, that’s why I am asking if anyone knows more.
