serious question, if they just did it naively how did they not get it on themselves? it sounds brutal

VX can be delivered as a binary agent, so each woman could have had a different precursor chemical on their hands/cloth/whatever was used. The second person to touch his face would definitely be at risk, but it would take some time for the agents to mix, and they knew to go to a bathroom immediately and wash it off where as he was left wondering wtf just happened.

Malaysia was like one of the only friends the DPRK had and they just hosed that in the butt lol

Wait really? Why? What does Malaysia get out of that?

NK's other friends are:
1) China, who gets cheap labor and doesn't have to deal with a flood of migrants as long as a Kim is keeping all the starving peasants trapped in their hellhole
2) Iran, who wants ballistic missiles and other mid-20th-century technological products, but spends too much time teaching Koran memorization and not enough time teaching aerospace engineering to make them themselves

Blessed be the tailors
The masks are cut to fit

Blessed be the woodworkers
The crosses and the gallows

Blessed be the forgers of iron
And the spikes and the barbwire

Blessed be the stone cutters
It took a quarry to bury the dreams

Probably just some cheap labor and cheap raw materials, apparently they'd been getting closer since 2003 but goodbye to that

EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.

they're blaming people from North Korea, not saying the government did it

Yes, very tactful of Malaysia to make that distinction. It could've been anyone, really, from North Korea, with access to nerve agents, conducting international assassinations... Shriners, probably.

For their part, the NK embassy doesn't even bother with that subtle pretense of deniability:

quote:

Seeking to debunk the police theory, North Korea's embassy issued a statement Wednesday that reads in part, "the liquid they daubed for a joke is not a poison and there is another cause of death for the deceased."

"We know it wasn't poison because we don't know anything about it" :smugwizard:

The only way anyone leaves North Korea is by dodging the snipers at the Chinese border, or because the government trusts you enough to let you go abroad







ok sometimes they escape by fishing boats but that's not as common

Syria is too for similar reasons as Iran.

They're also friends with Myanmar, Cuba, Singapore to a certain extent, and a number of African hellhole countries.

The fact that the assassin was wearing an "internet culture" acronym... makes this political assassination a PASSABLY cyberpunk event :coal:
