    Ahh yes, because Trump has shown himself to be a reliable source of information... Right.

    Of course, he could be dead. He could be alive. A more definite answer is what most people are looking for.

    God only knows what those guys in the North of K are up too. Kim seems alive according to the press this morning but it could be something staged with old footage. Kim might also have recovered after the flu/hangover/heart trouble/tantrum sulk that kept him out of sight for a while. It is not as though its a body double or anything...

    "Peasants" work the fields, and so they have brown/tanned skin from being out in the sun. Having white skin carries the association of having better genes, and a greater potential for a better marriage. It's a common theme across China, Korea, and Japan. Less so, in other Asian countries like Vietnam or Cambodia (although a very minor element of it is there too).
    In this part of the world too parasols were used, then the plebs got running water and indoor jobs instead of weather beaten colouration.

    Then the jet set were able to go on foreign hols.

    Oh, there are still some westerners who associate white skin with nobility or better dna. I've known a few women like that. The difference though is that there are real practical considerations for Asian people having lighter skin. They get better jobs, better marriages, being more beautiful they're more successful socially, etc. The west has moved away from such displays but other cultures, not so much.

    They'll move in more to stop the US from setting up military bases there, (which they would). China has plenty of territory to grow into. The main issue for them is unpolluted land for growing food, but I don't think they're too interested in gaining more land with all the headaches that brings.

    Before the summer most people trim up, perhaps he was looking at the fitness fortress vids of Putin.

    Corona has shut up most of the world and cancelled a lot of events.
    News media still has to fill the airwaves and papers with stories
    Sure just make up some BS about North Korea, will will get a week out of it before its shown to be BS.
    Every few months you read he executes someone, then only to see the supposed dead man at Kim's side a few months later
    Best to be sceptical about any story about North Korea

    No harm raising Junior's profile, I invested in North Korean missiles. You know the ones made out of cardboard with rodents running around inside. Anyway NK is a hidden superpower and all that hyperbolic prattle driven by the American inferiority complex.

    For a country so poor NK's rocketry is actually impressive, though obviously it's built on the back of unconscionable suffering.

    SK's own rocketry gets overlooked. It's part of its increasingly advanced military industry. This month they test fired their new Hyunmoo 4 SRBM, which with an 800 km stated range can hit anywhere in NK, though one misfired. Its warhead is conventional, but if SK ever wanted to tool up a nuclear weapons program it has a well developed nuclear industry.

    Similarly SK's own KM-SAM completed Block I delivery recently and Block II (missile interceptor version) began production in 2018.

    .

    How do we know this is true?
    What proof is there of this unconscionable suffering?
    Where is the videos , surely a defector would have smuggled some footage out by now.
    So the media says its hell on earth, why should we believe the proven pushers of fake news?

    It's completely improbable that you've ever bedded any Victoria Secret model let alone an entire roster.

    However it is not improbable that someone who has escaped a brutal regime told their story. The absence of freedom from anyone there or anyone going there points to the truth.

    Oprah bigged it up , sold millions a true story that turned out to be completely made up.
    So where is the proof, any one can make a claim about anything and get away with it if zero actually proof is required.
    If its so prevalent in N.Korea, where are the videos of it?
    Why should we believe the media who have been caught multiple times pushing fake news, why do you believe them on N.korea without any proof?

    And you believe the western media version of this ?
    Why would a US student want to go to the "brutal dictatorship of N.Korea?
    Should he not be on spring break chasing girls in Florida?
    What was the N.Korea version of events?
    Remember proven fake news in the west , so why do you still believe what they say?

    Do your own research. You can spend 20 minutes on google to see exactly what the US alleged, his parents, what Trump said, what statements NK released, and what the investigative court case outcome was. I believe what I do because I informed myself. Try doing the same. :rolleyes:
