Keep on topic. You are not the topic of this thread. Nor is any other player here. Don't try and make it about you, or them. This is about the conflict that's been ongoing in North Korea.
Nationalism - put a lid on it. We get it, there's a lot of strong feelings, but please. Time and place.
Personal attacks - don't do it. Been there, got the tshirt, it sucks.
Links to Sources - please do, please provide, please post your opinion on said piece of information. You know. Contribute meaningfully if possible. Shock, awe.
Political Nicknaming - Since it has been proven that some have had difficulty in knowing where to stop on this, perhaps its best to avoid using them. Some are not inflammatory. Others are very inflammatory. Using none results in no problems, however. This is not a rule for the thread, but it is a very strong suggestion to keep trouble from developing.
So ... All things to do with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, a roll-up of the plethora of threads that have sprung up lately about that fables and, to my mind, unhappy land. (Everything above this is a Mod edit.)
The North Korean capital has been placed under lockdown, according to sources with Pyongyang, raising new questions about the stability of Kim Jong-un's regime.
Quoting sources within North Korea, the respected New Focus International news web site has reported that a ban on new travel passes to leave or enter Pyongyang was introduced on September 27.
And while the North Korean authorities have in the past limited access to the capital, the latest restrictions even apply to permanent residents of Pyongyang, who are by definition the elite of the regime.
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
Well this is certainly an interesting development. With KJU essentially incapacitated due to illness and rumours that he isn't even in control of the country anymore, what does this latest development present in terms of the potential for stability in North Korea? This appears to be as of yet unchartered waters for the regime and I can imagine things might be a little tense.
What say you, non-North Koreans?
