North Korea, Sanctions, and Kim Jong-un

[JKgo]

A Slovenian band have become the first Western rock group to play a gig in North Korea, hopefully this will pave the way for Justin Bieber's concert there

That picture would make a awesome, and extremely, rare album cover.

.... 💡

I'd bet Manic Street Preachers are next - they were the first western band to play in Cuba after all...

I couldn't help but laugh at the Guardian's article on this, specifically the shot of the crowd under the headline 'Pyongyang comes alive with the sound of foreign music'...

Tough crowd...

 

[Sureboss]

Were they allowed to cheer?

 

[JKgo]

...Must've been the language barrier...

"Oh man, this rock thingy isnt patriotic at all! And also too western."

 

[TVR27]

North korea blew up white house.

 

[The Bman]

That's the U.S. Capitol Building, not The White House. Still absurd either way.

Normal service is resumed, the programmes have been swept away and NK artillery fire has begun.

It turns out the rock earlier actually fills the troops patriotic spirit.

Imagine when playing Sounds of Music, instead of Austrian men flee because of Nazi invasion, is the North Korean troops who invaded the south.

Looks like Kim is bored again:

How teenaged an agenda is that?

Saturday - buy Red Bull.
Sunday - Call of Duty marathon.

Saturday - buy Red Bull.

...The F1 team or the drinks? I ask 'cuz I hear Christian Horner's been looking to sell...

An F1 team with a patriotic spirit.

Oh, it got worse:

[prisonermonkeys]

Are you sure? I mean, this is North Korea that we're talking about. Those submarines are probably just bath tubs wrapped in gaffer tape.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

On Friday I thought North Korea was already planning on going to war with South Korea if they didn't remove their loud speakers. That was the last I heard. Maybe the wheels are in motion for this to happen.

Given the accuracy of North Korean missiles, it's probably St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

You were expecting something else? It's been like this forever, y'know...

"Give us more money! Food! Press coverage!! Or else we shoot you with our Saturn-reaching rockets!!"

Yeah my reply was meant for sarcasm. I guess I should have included the [sarcasm] at the end.

The Saturn reaching rockets which simultaneously will get lost on their way to the Sea of Japan. This might also be where their submarines have ended up, but since they routinely can't hit that with anything, sitting in that body of water equates to total loss.

 

[Dennisch]

No, those are actually on their way to Saturn.

 

[FoRiZon]

Nonono. They actually heading to the sun.

If you cant smell the irony....

 

[Famine]

Given the accuracy of North Korean missiles, it's probably St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

Given the accuracy of North Korean missiles, it's probably a 1/18th scale model of the White House from the set of Independence Day 2.

The two Koreas have agreed to kiss and make up - for the moment.

Knowing North Korea, they've probably sent their submarines to Saturn and their rockets into the Sea of Japan.

KJU may have realised that it is not so easy to wage war after bumping off many of his own military and political top brass in recent months.... woops!
