How awful that they're spending their limited resources on actually important things like providing their people with healthcare, education and housing instead of pandering to wasteful individualistic western lifestyle fads like every single person owning a car. Also, maybe they wouldn't be as poor if your country hadn't genocided them and then imposed decades of economic blockade, in addition to constantly threatening them with nuclear annihilation? Are you so proud of your country being a mass-murdering imperialist thug state?

Speaking of which, Kim's N. Korea is targeted by USA and the West because that country possess the second largest deposits of 'Rare Earth Metals' in the world. They are found largely in places like China and N. Korea. Remember 15 years ago, it was Iraq, and Saddam, and WMD (weapon of mass destruction). The real motive was Oil. Today, it is North Korea, and Kim, and nuclear weapon. The real motive is Rare Earth Minerals. It's all come down to the West's dependency on China's Rare Earth Minerals. Just another same old lame old Capitalist Imperialist trick. "Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It". Remember, Germany in pre-World War II era, was imposed upon with numerous and heavy war reparations, tariffs and sanctions by Western Colonial Powers for over a quarter century; eventually when that nation sank into mega depression, which made way for World War II, as Germany struck back. Similar scenario ran in Japan, when that nation too was bullied by maritime sanction; essentially blocking the whole island through naval blockage by Anglo empire naval ships for so long until Japan ran out of (imported) oil, and struck back at Pearl Harbor naval base whose naval ships participated in this year-long sanction. And sure enough that same thing, similar scenario repeating in N. Korea as the people of that country has suffered long enough, well over a quarter century of never ending sanction after sanction by thy Western bullies, resulting over a million innocent North Koreans already perished due to starvation and famine.

if you factor in all the people running for their lives I'd wager there's been more marathon's than you'd originally suspect.
north korea has e bikes?
Or do they walk because they can't afford a car, the maintenance and the gass
3:31 I assumed this is a drone shot and did anyone else also wondered how on earth this could be done in North Korea?

Is a fake city , somewhere in LA
DW made a better interpretation of this event-
If you run faster you can cross the border

She should not have gone to NK. By going there, she have endorsed and legitimized its regime. Not cool.
in korea BLM?
There is two korean!North and south korea
