This VICE clip is interesting on a couple of levels. Somewhat at face value. But I can’t help but wonder why VICE would be invited to North Korea after the exceptional and important documentary they did on VICE guide to Travel about North Korea, where they broke all kinds of local laws and showed the regime for what it really was.
Of course, that was when Vice was amazing and courageous, and before they took a hard hard lurch to the left.
Perhaps the new slant on things makes it acceptable to the Kim Jong dynasty despite its previous libertarian bent.

So many interesting resort areas. Anybody that gives their money to Turkey deserve their fate.
Anything coming out of that country is FAKE.
Meanwhile, we now find out NoKo will stand down to Trump. Guess who is really standing down? Answer: CHINA.
North Korea Backs Off Guam Missile-Attack Threat
Kim Jong Un warns he could change his mind if the U.S. persists in ‘extremely dangerous reckless actions’
SEOUL—North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has decided not to launch a threatened missile attack on Guam, Pyongyang’s state media reported on Tuesday, but warned that he could change his mind “if the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions.”
(For a deeper analysis of the issues in this story, please see “North Korea Backs Off Threat to Hit Guam”)
The report, published early Tuesday, could help dial back tensions that had spiraled last week following an exchange of threats between North Korea and U.S. President Donald Trump.

This will delay action against North Korea but not cancel it, Kim will still have his nukes and his missiles, we and our allies are still stuck with him threatening us.
Will his testing a sub launched missile be provocation enough to require a military response?
Did China back down to wait until both Iran and Kim have missiles and warheads and thus require a split response from us?
Did Putin have anything to do with this decision? If he did what? Which side is he on?
We have a brief delay but not a full reprieve from the war, we can’t let KIm get a working ICBM with a nuclear warhead mounted on it. Just as we can’t let Iran get this combination, since North Korea and Iran are good friends will the missile testing shift to Iran to prevent our taking out Kim? What this brief delay does do is give us more time to rebuild our military and bring the airborne laser anti missile system on line (pray Trump has bought a lot of the planes and lasers) as well as the new high powered rail guns that are also anti missile weapons. (NR posted a US Navy propaganda video on the big ones). I doubt if we have bought enough time to get a space based boost phase and coast phase missile defense system in orbit. The articles I have read say we have between 6 and 12 months before both Iran and North Korea are armed with working ICBMs.
Once they both have them will it be politically feasible for us to take them out?
