Now do one for Kim Jong Il, please, for a reference to compare?

That and I just can't see traditional North Korean culture accepting a female head of state.

dinoputz posted:At first I shared your thoughts, but when I thought about it, it might actually be a pretty big difference. We won't ever know exactly what's ailing the dude, but when people see a relatively healthy* 32 year old with a cane, 99% of them are thinking "Which sport did he sprain his ankle playing?" or, if you're one of the more thoroughly brainwashed North Koreans, "Which troops did he sprain his ankle commanding?" Kim Jong-Il never would have appeared in a picture with a cane, at least definitely not in the latter decade or so of his rule, because that would have sent a message to the US, whose intelligence leadership might think to themselves, "Hey, KJI's sick and his sons are young/effeminate/not properly groomed, maybe we should step on the gas a little harder to make some deals with some wannabe-warlords in the military?" The contrast between the young and the old with minor injuries and/or disabilities with adaptive equipment is pretty large. Sounds like someone doesn't have control over their personal appearances any more.

Typo posted:The one child policy was retarded and made by people who don't understand demographics and will screw Chinese economic development within a generation or half a generation from now on and is basically complete irrelevant for a first world country in which the natural rate of population growth is negative. Alternatively, they found an innovative source for bribes.

Rogue0071 posted:You know if you want to argue about the feasibility of South Korean firms hiring North Koreans for low wage manufacturing work there is a real life example in the Kaesong Industrial Complex. You don't even have to pay them, you can just bring in moonpies! This is a great innovation.

JeffersonClay posted:Is it possible Kim Jong Un hacked Sony and is trying to destroy this movie because he's worried that it'll get bootlegged and smuggled in, and that people will believe it is literally true, sparking a revolution? My guess is North Koreans attempting to force high-level talks with Xi Jinping.

Cockmaster posted:That reminds me: A little while ago, Elon Musk put forth a proposal to create a global broadband ISP with hundreds of low-orbiting satellites. Sneaking that into North Korea could make for some fun times. http://www.o3bnetworks.com Google's doing it. Nintendo Kid posted:Elon Musk is a bit of an idiot, because such a system would perform worse than just about all countries infrastructure. Issue: Shitloads of nations have little to no infrastructure. Nations, such as: North Korea.

ChairMaster posted:I'd be curious to see what kind of a source you have for plenty of countries being fatter than the US, I can't find much of anything that would suggest that there's more than one country fatter than America. Well, its a surprisingly detailed and nuanced issue. For example, do you count obese illegal immigrants as American, or do you include them in the count for their nationality?

I like South Korea. It seems to mostly have a business culture in which I'd fit in, apart from being as tan as a sicillian. One thing I don't like is that this korean chick I used to hook up with worked at one of those big financials in Gangnam, where they made her serve tea despite her master's in econ. The gently caress is up with that?

I think it'd be pretty funny if the North Korean regime went all 'Blazing Saddles' with international diplomcy. 'Give us the grain and energy we ask for or else we'll nuke ourselves, we swear!'

fishmech posted:North Korea's greatest weapon is saying the higher ups are all leaving and now South Korea is in charge North Korea can't do that; their entire culture is built around their racial purity, and the south koreans have been racially defiled by evil Americans. Their greatest weapon is selling nuclear weapons to Iran. If China refuses to crack down on North Korea, it is America's responsibility to ensure that North Korea cannot supply nuclear weapons and the missiles to carry them to Iran.
