I took a trip this weekend and found some ships docked in Subic Bay





Pretty sure this is the JS Kaga helicopter carrier, with the JMSDF



This has got to be the BRP Gregorio del Pilar with the US Navy, formerly a Hamilton-class US Coast Guard cutter





And this is the USS Milius, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. This one was actually at sea.

EDIT: I forgot one



This is the JS Murasame, lead ship in her class of JMSDF destroyers

You can't really effectively compare standards of living in DPRK to China or the US, since they're near completely shut out of global markets. You have to compare their standards of living to other poor countries.

my biggest gripe against the North Korean government (other than the obvious human rights and lack of freedoms stuff) is in general super lovely at their own job, that they have this wierd obsession on forcing their population to live in extreme poverty and horrible infrastructure and lack of basic life needs like a throwback to a 1950s Stalinist hellhole instead of doing what every other authoritarian state have successfully done and transitioned into having functioning economies where people can live somewhat decently with nice stuff like food and consumer goods if they just toe the line and keep their heads down. there’s literally nothing preventing Kim jong UN from allowing Chinese companies to flood their supermarkets with food and their store shelves with consumer goods and get engineers to build more than the one highway in their country.

The real question is whether the us can be baited into "defending" the parts of "Taiwan" that are on the mainland. Could be pretty funny, but sadly I don't believe it will happen

The concept of having Anthony Scaramucci explain what Chinese people think about the CCP was funny enough to get me to check what he has been up to after his very public humiliation. I was very surprised to learn that his wife didn't actually divorce him in the end. They worked things out and have a podcast together called "Mooch and the Mrs".

Other than that he's doing exactly what you would expect.
