It's an photograph of Kim reviewing a simulated amphibious operation in a military exercise. Either it's actually real enough or the photoshoppers are languishing in a labour camp for such lolquality work.

M'kay so I was reading a news source and a paragraph or two caught my attention.

However, the ordinary North Korean people are not the brainwashed robots that they are often portrayed as. North Korean refugees have described to me how increasing numbers of people are learning about the outside world through dramas and films smuggled into the country on DVDs or USBs, or are learning of the reality of China or even South Korea through word of mouth.

A combination of grassroots social change phenomena that have emerged over the last decade, including bottom-up marketisation, an explosion of corruption, and increased interaction with the outside world through various channels has the net result of people increasingly separating off from the regime - both physically and psychologically - although the repression is still too brutally effective to allow for any public demonstrations of discontent.

Assuming I parsed your post correctly, you're right. All of this nonsense is posturing on the part of Kim hoping to get concessions out of the west regarding food/other aid.

The real danger is not a deliberate concerted attack, because Kim and his advisors are probably fully aware that would be suicidal, it's his brinksmanship going too far and some kind of confrontation escalating out of control.

Why bother with lies and propaganda? Pop culture destroyed the Soviet Union from the inside out. All we need to do is start airdropping jeans and rock and roll CDs (or maybe 8-tracks?) into North Korea. In a decade, we'll have them.

From North Korean POV, I'm sure all the unwanted foreign media infiltrating into NK can be construed as propaganda, but I don't see how you can think what Germanic Templars posted contains any lies.

They're also armed with a camera. Possibly to draw the Imperialist Americans into thinking that Kim's just filming another propaganda video, then BAM!

At least they haven't moved their launchers anymore. Maybe they have decided against launching anything, who knows what they will do though.
