Quote
North Korea, poised to conduct a nuclear test any day now, has posted a video on YouTube depicting a US city resembling New York engulfed in flames after an apparent missile attack.

All to the sounds of "We are the world". Also, the "New York in flames" is from Modern Warfare.

I like the "joyfully re-unified" Korea there too. Every time I think I've got the measure of how crazy North Korea is, they manage to surprise me. Never change, guys. Or better yet, do change, like right away.

Former deputy assistant secretary of state and ABC News consultant Col. Steve Ganyard, USMC (Ret.) told ABC’s Martha Raddatz the State Department’s decision not to debrief Rodman is “ridiculous.”

“There is nobody at the CIA who can tell you more personally about Kim Jong Un than Dennis Rodman," Ganyard said, "and that in itself is scary.”

Rodman saw exactly what the North Korean handlers wanted him to see.

Which is, I think Ganyard was pointing out, more information than anyone at the CIA has about Kim Jong Un.

It may just be more noise, but, uh, NK just announced it's scrapping the armistice.

As of this moment, NK is technically in a state of open war with South Korea and their allies.

I thought they always have been? I mean, a cease fire doesn't mean the war is over, just on pause.

So I guess they hit unpause, but haven't yet touched the D-Pad?

They've done it before, a number of times. Hopefully it's just saber rattling again, though I wish they'd stop, because one of these days someone is going to take them up on it.

I'm pretty sure that they have never actually torn up the armistice completely, though they "suspended" it in 2003 and 2009, so arguably this is not that different.

I mean, It's all for show anyway. The special border industrial zone where South Koreans employ North Koreans is still open for business. The problem is that for North Korea sometimes "for show" also randomly means "do something really stupid that gets people killed".

Yeah, but really, North Korea threatens to turn South Korea into glass on almost a daily basis. The biggest thing the North Koreans do is bomb islands near them occasionally. Neither side wants to ever go to war. North Korea knows they can't win, but like to act like they're in charge for The People. South Korea knows they could win, but would incur a heavy loss for a few months and North Korea unloaded on them, and then would have to take in all of North Korea's subjects and integrate them. Neither sound really wants that.

So remember, if you ever see North Korea totally flipping its shit and trying to threaten the south, remember, it's not for you or South Korea. It's for The People.

They also have a secondary goal of trying to goad the US into negotiating directly with them instead of having the UN come down around their ears, because whenever they get direct negotiations, the US basically pays them off to be quiet for a few years.

The production value of these things never ceases to astound. The narrator, however, is seriously fucking into it. She feargasms at least nine times here.

Jeez, the bit about using meth as a substitute for real medicine.  That whole country is like a macroeconomic glorious trainwreck.  I almost hope it keeps struggling on forever as a sort of living cautionary tale.

Well, even if it became a democracy tomorrow it'd still have to struggle with being a country with no natural resources and an impoverished, practically unemployable population. It'll be East Germany ten times over.

South Korea can have them re-enact Starcraft matches for their amusement for jobs.

Or just have them become the working class of an increasingly over qualified South Korean population. On the one hand, this might perpetuate class divisions and old prejudices, but on the other hand the North Koreans would have jobs and food.
