Why wouldn't they use MiG 29s for the photo op? A 17 is subsonic and doesn't even have radar...

The jet in the movie was a Lockheed T-33, the trainer variant of the F-80 Shooting Star which got owned royaly by the MiGs in the Korean War.

Because flying MiG-17s / J-5s is way more manlier! ... Err .... womanlier!

(Probably because none of their Fulcrums are airworthy or even taxi-worthy while they can at least scrap one or two working J-5s out of their 107 museum pieces)

One Kim to rule them all

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea has ordered people who share the name of leader Kim Jong Un to change their names, South Korea's state-run KBS television reported on Wednesday.

North Korea imposed similar bans on the use of the names of its two former leaders, Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, and grandfather, Kim Il Sung, as part of propaganda drives to build cults of personality around them.

You have to laugh, because the reality that 20+ million people live under a despotic ruler in constant fear of being summarily executed for saying the wrong thing is hard to deal with otherwise. And let's not forget the prison/torture camps.

Its just such a bizarre mix of absurd comedy and depressing imprisonment over there. You truly don't know whether to laugh or cry

Maybe that's exactly what it is. Just a gigantic experiment by world governments to see what happens with such a country if left alone.

It just blows my mind. I'm almost insulted that nk thinks we are stupid enough to beleive any of the bullshit that they are constantly spewing. The whole world should come together and tell them to get it together

I'm pretty sure the whole world has "told" them to get it together for a good long while now. The problem is that telling them isn't enough, and actions will cost quite some lives, given NKs insanity. It's not a simple problem that can just be solved with some money or some soldiers.

Korean Central News Agency calls for the U.S.A. to face a human rights trial for spreading the Ebola virus, using Africa as a bio-weapon testing ground

North Korea is accusing the US of spreading the Ebola virus, claiming it has been “bent on the development of bio-weapons” in order to achieve world supremacy.

[...]

It also went on to claim that the AIDS pandemic was also created by the US.

Now he thinks he's socially aware. Let's put it down to selective conscience.

It's not for our consumption but for their citizen's consumption. Gotta maintain the facade the NK is the best, and everywhere else is garbage.

Why couldn't an elite task force infiltrate into NK and take out snipe assassinate the entire cabinet in power?

Feels like a good enough premise to also make a Hollywood movie about.. What a strange world we live in.

yo, because that would not cause any retaliation and shit. ezpz just go in, snipe 3 dudes (the one at the red button, the evil leader and the random guard that played hero) and suddenly all NK people will celebrate their new heroes and fall in eternal love with their liberators

At this point I think it's not even that impossible tbh.
But ofcourse it's a little more complex than that haha. I do have to say, even though it's at the expense of the entire NK population, I do enjoy enjoy the news coming from this section, almost like some sort of satirical part of the world. Maybe I'm too cynical.
I do hope North and South reunite at some point in the future though. The only question is howmany generations of Kim Jung's will they have to endure before that to happen?
I'm calling it before 2100. And that's being very generous.
