Don't mention the Sea of Japan to the South Koreans. The title is a huge matter of contention for them.Quote:

Even during strictly controlled guided tours there's regular power cuts. One I viewed recently featured an immaculate hospital but the doctor's refused to allow the cameras to capture any patients never mind the reporter speak to any.
Buy a copy of the book 'Nothing To Envy'. It consists of six stories of people who escaped North Korea. The level of indoctrination is incredible.Quote:

Meanwhile, Trump has weighed in on the NK missile test.
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
North Korea disrespected the wishes of China & its highly respected President when it launched, though unsuccessfully, a missile today. Bad!

Didn't they also raise a symbolic middle finger to the Yanks too?
I'm sure none of this is happening, and there is no North Korea or threat ,it's a made up right wing media thing ,bit like the Trueman Show , bloody Tories, Israelis , BBC and Trump they stoop to anything ???
How does blatant indoctrination compare to subtle indoctrination?Quote:

But for reasons that are not immediately clear the Yanks and corporate media are intent on portraying them as a massive threat.Quote:

Wasn't the NK leader western educated? (alledgedly)Quote:
