There is a reason communism is an outdated form of government and growing more so with each passing year.
Every time someone escapes from North Korea, whether a soldier or a citizen of the country, they are often found to be severely malnourished and/or infested with worms. That’s what I think about when I see the images and fake smiles of the applauding, skinny guys that are cheering behind their Fearless Leader.
Though Ju Ae and her jolly father, Kim Jung Un, appear to be physically healthy in comparison, every time I see images of the people from North Korea, I recall the comments of doctors who were interviewed after they treated escapees from the north, whether the escapees were shot by North Korean border guards and died, or were injured, or not badly injured. They tended to have bad cases of worms.
While this is largely not the case in China, which has better healthcare, they don’t have MRNA vaccines. And they still cannot manage their own affairs or ignore the fact that they have to kiss the ring of their own Fearless Leader.
Arming Ukraine by the US is only part of the quadrant. It’s the effectiveness of Ukraine military. Lack of effectiveness of the Russian military and non military (Wagner) and finally, what is going on in Moscow (you could also add, to a lesser extent, what is happening in Kyiv). Would definitely recommend Maxim Katz (read bio first) who gives very interesting insights into the situation on the ground in Russia.
It seems like yesterday i was standing behind the cab of a 5 ton in the ink of the dark morning with a magazine full of tracer rounds and two more at the ready, a patrol of infantry scouts loaded for bear kneeling behind me peering outward, and an order to light up (via the tracer rounds) any low flying aircraft that came across the DMZ from the north. The driver maneuvering through the DMZ circuitry in blackout drive to drop off our group, and pick up the group that had completed their days long mission, I had a sense of duty to country, and a sense of my place in history. I felt global ha ha ha.
