[Just Some Guy]

Panama catches NK with its pants down.

[10ebbor10]

The president said the 35-strong crew had resisted the search and the captain had tried to kill himself.

This makes me worried about NK

He* posted a photo of what looked like a large green object inside a cargo container on his Twitter account.

And this about the rest of the world.

*The president himself

Edit: Strangely enough, the entered the canal from the Eastern side. They weren't heading to NK, to say the least.

Hardly unusual, any North Koreans who are allowed to leave the country are extra-indoctrinated upon both departure and arrival to prevent them from defecting, since pretty much every other place on Earth is better than North Korea.

I think such openness and transparency from public officials is a good sign, not a bad one.

That doesn't make any sense. They would have had to go all the way around South America for that, because they departed from Cuba.

[Xantalos]

*slow clap*
Well, NK, you tried.

WHY WOULD CUBA HAVE LARGE GREEN OBJECTS

[10ebbor10]

They departed from Eastern Russia, and where headed to Cuba.

It had left Russia's far east in April and travelled across the Pacific Ocean before entering the canal at the start of June, with Cuba as its stated destination

They made a mistake in the first lines of the article. But the information above is restated more often.

Sovjet leftovers. Misplaced mysterious object.

there is no such thing as a misplaced object

the objects resurface precisely when they mean to. i am slightly alarmed that this is the correct time for the resurfacing of mysterious large green cuban objects.

Also, why on Earth where they pretending to export Far Eastern Russian sugar to Cuba? their cover doesn't make any sense.

They're bringing sugar back from Cuba, which does make sense. What they were supposed to be taking to cuba from Russia the article didn't say.

[olemars]

From what I've heard, they departed from Russia in April, passed through the canal from the pacific side in early June, went to Cuba and were seized on July 10 when trying to enter the atlantic side of the canal.

edit: Reuters says mostly the same.

[Loud Whispers]

I prefer to imagine the crew got lost.

I prefer to imagine this was intentional, and ALL IS ACCORDING TO KEIKAKU IN BEST KOREA

[10ebbor10]

Well, apparently the weaponry was leftover Sovjet technology, heading to North Korea for repairs.

[Sirus]

Is everyone misspelling "Soviet" or is Sovjet an entirely different thing?

[Steelmagic]

I was wondering that myself but didn't want to seem like an idiot.

[Kaferian]

They're both the same thing and Sovjet is just another way of spelling/pronouncing it.
