We haven’t heard much from North Korea in the last week, mostly because we stopped listening to their tantrums as we’ve moved on to other things. But they’ve apparently felt neglected, so they’ve tried:
1) denying connection the Boston terrorist bombings (yes, we know you didn’t do it, your Marshall likes basketball and bluff)
2) claiming they wouldn’t talk with the US in negotiations until allowed to keep their nukes (the more they claim capability the less capability I think they have).
3) releasing video of their future soldiers, 11 year old shaved head kids practicing martial arts. That’ll show us!
Via Daily Mail:
Rare pictures show images of North Korea’s future soldiers as children as young as 11 are taught combat training in a military academy.
New recruits with shaved heads are seen preparing for war in the grounds of Mangyongdae Revolutionary School in Pyongyang as they practise their taekwondo.
One pupil named Jo Chung Hyok said: ‘Because of the present situation, I am trying to study hard
‘I really think that’s how I can get my revenge on the American imperialists: by getting top marks in class.
‘It’s my revolutionary duty,’ Jo said. ‘I’m working extra hard to get top marks in military subjects like tactics and shooting.’
The government-run school, where former leader Kim Jong Il was educated during the Korean War, indoctrinates students with criticisms of America and South Korea.
Pupils chant in English: ‘The respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is our father.’
