Why Wednesday? Aren't the nuclear tests scheduled for next Monday?

They stated that something will happen on the 10th.

Most likely its because its a 9 day 4+1+0+1+3 and they seem to do things on days that are related to the number 9.

Ah, got it! Well, I'm sure this will be Kim Jong-un's big surprise

yeah but isn't it true for many leaders/politicians . Nowadays everything becomes a topic of ridicule. Having said that, I don't find it funny or original.

bah?

You can either go with the amusing theory that they're obsessed with 9 Link, or more factually grounded theory that they told foreign diplomats they can't guarantee their security after Wednesday. Combining that with the fact that intelligence reports show they are moving missiles, it appears somewhat likely that they will do some sort of test on Wednesday. The results of the test and the world's response will be the interesting events.

Though, all that said, who the fuck knows what's going to happen.

I've been thinking about this whole thing, and I think as much as this is a show for the US & SK, it's also theater for the North Korean public, who have been raised to believe that Kim Jong-Un is the descendent of a demi-God who in turn is the son of true God. I mean, people who even asks questions that are too doubtful in nature gets put in brainwashing camps. Even if he himself might not think it's true, though he might, he has still suddenly been asked to fill shoes so big I don't think anyone in the western world can even imagine.

After doing some reading on the guy, it seems as though he spent most of his youth around Bern, Switzerland, and I've actually been there, and it's a incredibly tolerant place. Now, I don't know the curriculum of the Kim Il-sung University, but I'm less than doubtful in that the education he got there from 02-07 must've messed a bit with his brain jigglings, the extent of which is yet to see, I guess..
Anywho, it's an exciting new time both for him and the Korean people, so let's just hope noone gets a little too hyper and does something they might regret later on.

So, they admit that they were only shown what the government let them see? And they still act like everything isn't as bad? Absolutely disgusting. That's some Stockholm's Syndrome, right there. Don't go on a fucking guided tour and come back thinking you know the fucking place. What a bunch of traitorous bastards.

I didn't get that impression that its all fine and dandy there. They just say its not as bad as people think, which is probably true

Outside of the Pyeongyang, yes. It is.

So Pyeongyang doesn't count ? I know the country side is in the 19th century, but from what I've gathered they were mainly talking about city life

Pyeongyang is built on nothing but misappropriated funds, propaganda, and lies. So no, it doesn't count. Half of the buildings you see of Pyeongyang are near vacant and there for show.

you think they force them into roller blades too ?

Of course not.

Unfortunately, one pair of rollerblades does not mean the way they have been portrayed in the past is false.

NK tests something, rest of world gives NK shit, NK whines and talks shit back, eventually things calm down, repeat.

I'll stop being a broken record now!

well they never have been portrayed with roller blades, so one pair does make it false.
I imagine they have a lottery to decide which family gets the roller blades for a day.

Fixed.

This thread is now about Kimchi. As a shit master, it is a quintessential weapon in any poop trooper's arsenal.

Kimchi doesn't need to enter your mouth and exit your ass to be considered shit.

Bulgogi FTW

Galbi is better

Q: Is the impression we get via these Web videos similar to what they broadcast on television, and what you see in other forms, or are we in the news business guilty of hyping the most inflammatory material do you think? A: That�s a good question. We need to keep in mind that North and South Korea are not so much trading outright threats as trading blustering vows of how they would retaliate if attacked. The North says, �If the U.S. or South Korea dare infringe on our territory we will reduce their territory to ashes,� and Seoul responds by saying it will retaliate by bombing Kim Il-sung statues. And so it goes. I think the international press is distorting the reality somewhat by simply publishing the second half of all these conditional sentences. And I have to say from watching North Korea�s evening news broadcasts for the past week or so, the North Korean media are not quite as wrapped up in this war mood as one might think. The announcers spend the first 10 minutes or so reporting on peaceful matters before they start ranting about the enemy. The regime is exploiting the tension to motivate the masses to work harder on various big first-economy projects, especially the land-reclamation drive now under way on the east coast. Workers are shown with clenched fists, spluttering at the U.S. and South Korea, and vowing to work extra hard as a way of venting their rage. It is all very similar to last year�s sustained vilification of South Korea�s then-president, Lee Myung-bak, when you had miners saying that they imagined Lee�s face on the rocks they were breaking, and so on. The regime can no longer fire up people with any coherent or credible vision of a socialist future, so it tries to cast the entire work force � much as other countries do in times of actual war � as an adjunct to the military. Work places are �battlegrounds,� and all labor strengthens the country for the final victory of unification, etc.

I'm telling you guys, they're doing this for their own "benefit" (I use that word very loosely) internally, and to make themselves feel as though they actually have some sort of an impact on the world stage. That's it.
