Ive been to the DMZ , and have patrolled it many times. That village on the NK side is just for show and that horrible music and noise they play is enough to give you nightmares!
"The village looks like a welcoming place to live"....does it though? I mean, does it really? Its just every documentary I see about North Korea makes it seem like it is about as attractive a place to live as Afghanistan or Croydon. Why even have a military to defend these places?? Show me a video of the North Korean riviera...or just somewhere in North Korea that doesn't look like a barren, frozen desert...
Not exactly about North Korea, here's an interesting piece of info: The founder of Hyundai was born to an impoverished family of peasants in what is now North Korea. In 1998, he sent 1001 cows to his hometown in North Korea as a repayment 1000 times over for a cow that he stole in the early 1930s to afford his train ticket to Seoul and escape from poverty.
@Jason Kelly, I'd be happy to. You caught me at a good time. Just this morning, I was putting the finishing touches on a gene splice for the Point Guard. If you're available tomorrow, I could use your help with modifying a chromosomal recombinant for the Power Forward. Will 3:00 pm PDT work for you?
I always have to tell people it was an armistice, not a peace treaty that was signed. In order to get people to remember, I tell them to think of it as laying down arms until either the war resumes or a real treaty is signed.
I watched a documentary series on NK a while back and it was a laugh a minute. Not comedy laugh, but laugh in absolute disbelief. There were so many things they spoke about where you're like, "Are you fucking kidding me?". My favorites were: - The full scale war with the USA/South Korea that almost broke out because of a single tree that was being cut on the border - NK wanted to co-host the 1988 Olympics with South Korea and even went ahead and built sports facilities BEFORE the Olympic committee gave a verdict on the application. NK gave the committee a tour of the facilities even, and after spending a fortune on these structures, they were ultimately denied their co-host application . - NK kidnapped a famous South Korean acting couple (one could say the South Korean version of Brad and Angelina), brought them to North Korea and forced them to act on North Korean shows. They eventually managed to get out after a few years luckily. That country is just.....something else
I like the basketball scoring mods, except the 8 pointer should be 4 or 5 points. Would be fun to "re-score" some famous NBA matches, and see who woulda won.
Well, thank you for this interesting video. It really was an eye opener. At the end of the day, we are all brothers and sisters. Yet, it is the different types of governments, ideologies and religions that keeps us separated.
its a scary thing when propaganda is not what your learning about but what your watching!!! it is truly amazing when the few people actually telling the truth are called propagandist!!!
I find it weird that I literally just finished watching “Crash Landing On You”, and this video is the first recommendation when I opened RUclips app. 🤔🤭😅
The North Koreans and Chinese need to grow a set and revolt. Other countries have done so throughout history. It is time for them to make history. Cuba also needs to make history.
The brainwashing has been going on far too long. The U.S. is exempt to brainwashing either. Look at how everyone was quick to wear a mask when we've never worn one before. Only because the government and tv told them to do so.
The only one that really shocked me was the drug one but I can definitely see why they don't care. It's much easier to control a society if they're all stoned. I'm telling you my biggest fear ever is not just living in north Korea but just visiting there. F that. Just the one story alone about that one American student who went and got prison time for a crime he didn't commit and then sent him back home noticeably thinner and all black and blue and in a coma. Then died like a week later.
Don't think I'd want to live there. I wish we had their sensible drug policies, however; let such things be available to those who want 'em, that's all.
Your ignorance on full display . This is authoritarianism based on a cult of personality , nothing to do with communism or socialism. Just that in name only. The Nordic countries are socialist and their citizens live a life that we could only hope for. Educate yourself, it’s liberating.
I seem to be in a distinct minority, but to me all those things seem sensible. Sorry to differ with people, but if the Unwashed and the Jab Dodgers don't have access to the internet it would be a good thing to my way of thinking and frankly an internet with limited access to the Dark Web and porn sites and other nasty rubbish would be a breath of fresh air and our kids would blossum and could explore unsupervised.
@@covenawhite4855 The Julian calendar, created by Julius Caesar. In October 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII had the calendar adjusted because the "original" got Leap Year wrong and it was "discovered" that the Julian calendar was 8 days off. Now, considering that Caesar changed the calendar several thousand years BEFORE Christ was even born (yes, a bit of hyperbole) how can it be based upon the birth, or life, of Jesus? And YOU could have Googled that information, you lazy twit.
The north Koreans are a great annoyance to the Americans as their politicians adhere to their own values which differ seriously from the America’s idea of what is right an what is wrong and refuse to accept the American’s politics or government so have to suffer constant criticisms but as they are able to successfully defend themselves from foreign blandishments are constantly the targets of entreaties to defect to the south by America which so far has seen very little success thus is frustrating.

I bet they have subliminal messages in that sound. I hope you wore ear plugs - if you didn't see a hypnotist to get deprogrammed.
@@ppumpkin3282 thats a bit much with the paranoia
Its a shame, my heart really goes out for the people of North Korea.

drugs are no longer freely available. There has been new laws enacted when it comes to drug use/abuse within the DPRK

They have one of the largest armies in the world. Not that anyone wants to invade North Korea, they don't have much anyway.

Yes, it has a very large military but they only have enough food for about two weeks of war
15:06 I thought NK had their own “Year” calendaring system starting at 1912, that building has “1950” and “1953” inscribed ?? Why not 38 and 41 ?
Educational video.

The NBA needs to adopt N.Korean rules to make the game more interesting

CLASSIFIED!
Hell if the government tried to limit the internet here in Canada it would be the government that would be changed not the internet.
We are watching the beginning of the end my friends. My recommendation to all of you is to find a safe corner and stay out of the way.
One name on the ballot, LMFAO. New legislature coming soon to you in the USA
Just as i think my life is bad it compels in comparison to the life that North Koreans have

For now. And most likely our lifetime.
Kind of self-defeating if you love basketball but your people are getting shorter for lack of food.
Thanks for the Charlie Sheen narration.

Reunify the continent ? I didn’t know Korea was a continent. It’s not a surprise that starved people are shorter.
HEY TOP FIVES DONT CHANGE THE COMMENTATOR LIKE BE AMAZED I QUIT WATCHING BE AMAZED BECAUSE OF THAT
One day the people will wake up maybe they already are awake but live in constant fear
Cool name for a calendar....Dou'che
They've been trying to unify both nations but what if they both end up communist instead of capitalist
But socialism and communism are great right? That’s what I keep hearing in the USA? 🤦🏼♀️

Going by what you are writing, South Korea is an American State!
Dear God, man. That has got to be one of the longest sentences I have ever had the displeasure of reading. Lol.
If things continue on the path they are in the US, with the current president & administration, we will become identical to North Korea.
