US and friends regularly take their boats out for a drive, NK always reacts the same. It’s a pretty boring news article.

I agree on the sensationalism in the article.
The article links to this as technical proof https://grizzlyreports.com/we-believe-pdd-is-a-dying-fraudulent-company-and-its-shopping-app-temu-is-cleverly-hidden-spyware-that-poses-an-urgent-security-threat-to-u-s-national-interests/
There’s analysis of decompiled source code.
No one is keeping track of how enthusiastically they do it or writing official reports on it or encouraging more of it. It’s the interest the govt takes in it that makes it weird(er).
This might all be made up. See https://www.nknews.org/2024/06/fact-check-north-korea-has-not-announced-plans-to-send-troops-to-ukraine-yet/
I’ve never heard of NK News before so - https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/nk-news/. Seems Ok.
In other news articles they’re described as support troops or engineers. They’d be building things, cooking meals, driving trucks, repairing stuff. Maybe occasionally get a HIMARS dropped on them but certainly not storming trenches.
Yes your frustration is totally understandable. It is a very heated topic and a lot of bad faith arguments are thrown around.
Sometimes I remind myself not to hope that the person I’m replying to will understand my reply or acknowledge that I’m right - instead I post my reply for the lurkers to read, who are far more numerous. The lurker has not publicly said anything so their ego is not fixed on defending their position and they are more likely to receive what I contribute with an open mind.
With this wider context, the goal changes. When the target audience shifts to the readers then there is no longer a need to continue a long back and forth discussion (the person replying to me will never change their mind anyway!) once I have made my point clearly. It’s ok if the other person has the last word if by having it they discredit themselves by demonstrating a closed mind - the lurkers will see it.
I hope this helps.
I’ve been reading your posts. You make excellent points very often, clearly drawing from a deep knowledge of the region.
However continually calling people names and insulting their intelligence will tend to stop them from really hearing your message and just inflame the situation. You could just not type that stuff and then everything else you type would have more impact. It’d be a pity to waste all that effort.
The only other country where divorce is illegal is Vatican City.
I would appreciate this mbfc content on smaller less well known sources but imo we can assume Reuters and other big names are already trusted.
Also this article is a simple reporting of unambiguous events that undoubtedly occurred so there’s really no need to check the source. It’s not an interpretation of a political situation.
Just trying to save you some time.
How do you know that?

Successfully ran from the cops.
I was on a bike and they were in a car so I kept off the road system as much as possible. I went through a school (the kids saw the start so knew what was up - they cheered me on), through a swamp out the back and then a long bumpy ride down a railway line.
There is no rush quite like it.
Got to work only 15 minutes late.
They’re not excessive subsidies. It’s USA and Europe that are not subsidising EVs enough.
Any country or car maker that does not get on board with decarbonisation of the transport sector needs to be shut down asap.
Also across the hall there is a phone that rings for 10 full minutes, every day.
And the aircon smells like mold.
And the windows are stuck shut.
And the bathroom smells a bit like sewer.
Sorry, got on a roll there.

I am not kidding. Life is strange sometimes.
The headline had me hoping for things like “Xinjiang - how we incarcerated 1 million people for only $5k pp / year” or “Integrating vassel states - lessons from Hong Kong” or “The Tibet Journey” or “Propaganda for fun and profit Steve Bannon edition”.
Nope 😴
Yeah, I read the whole thing. It was a good story but I felt that when it came time to “deliver the goods” they fell a bit short. For example, this: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/final-image-global-south.png. That is under the heading “Clearly authoritarian”, which seems pretty strong for such a boring sounding course.
I stand by my earlier comment.
I wish they were able to find better examples of the courses and the content (not just the summary from marketing materials). The examples they provided were really tame.
in China, law enforcement is designed to protect the state and the Party rather than the people, journalism is prescribed to create national unity rather than act as a check against the system, and the law is intended to protect the regime rather than its citizenry.
Very succinctly put!
In the Constitution of China you’ll find a section where it explicitly states that the interests of the group outweigh those of the individual. It’s baked into the legal bedrock.
Electric bicycles are much less tiring to use and go faster / further. Quite a game changer.
With pannier bags and a backpack you can carry quite a lot of groceries.
You might enjoy the book “Climate Leviathan”. It’s about all that and draws on a lot of history and philosophy.
