Some North Korean casualties were more than avoidable.
... A day earlier, North Korean media reported many North Koreans died a "heroic death" after last week’s train explosion by running into burning buildings to rescue portraits of Kim and his late father, Kim Il-sung. The pictures are mandatory fixtures in every home, office and factory.
Is anyone else willing to bet that these "mandatory" pictures aren’t cheap? It’s difficult to imagine risking one’s life out of love for such a murdering thug’s petty image. Permit me to speculate that Kim’s direct family makes a tidy profit from selling these compulsory propaganda posters to their poverty-stricken countrymen. Just another button on the coat concerning why Kim is a waste of oxygen. |
