I'm not sure if the whole "NK has soviet artillery that will fall apart if looked at oddly" thing is going to work now.

But seriously, have you looked at that artillery? No, wait, you haven't because it still hasn't fallen apart.

WWII era artillery is nothing to laugh at, same as a WWII era rifle shooting you dead perfectly happily just as well as a something that came out last month.

The Taliban have basically maimed and traumatised a generation of young soldiers using primarily home made explosives and ancient know-how. The North Koreans could inflict a lot of casualties.

Its ridiculously easy to kill someone, and the USSR generally built there weapons to last forever and be used by morons if need be. Including (for the most part) nukes.

Or heavy things. Or water in their lungs. Or...well, pretty much everything.

I dunno if intended, but that comic always makes me sympathetic to NK.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I have found my new favourite North Korea documentary. It's called the "Land of Whispers".

Amazing shots, really enlightening. Not sensationalist anti-North Korean stuff like some documentaries, quite sympathetic in some ways. The journalist irritated me at times because he was too naive for my liking (not understanding that he might get his guides in trouble and stuff) but he did a really good job. I was really touched by some of the interactions he had with Mr. Jim, the friendlier guide who was scared of Rammstein but loved Imagine by John Lennon. The girl who spent hours playing Angry Birds on someone's tablet, just enjoying the touch screen. Great documentary.

I've still got a really bad taste in my mouth though because I'm worried about what must have happened to the guides after he put this video up on youtube. The North Korean government is trying to get it taken down.
Nice find. I've not seen so many shots of the locals doing normal things before.

He's not that naive as much as he's being Mr. Exposition for his viewers who are that naive.

But then why did he get Mr. Jim in trouble if he knew that was going to happen?
