North Korea is open to tourists who film the place. They have websites you can visit. Despite the relative isolation, there’s plenty of footage and information freely available. So I can’t even consider half of this junk ‘limited facts’, it’s just absurd claims made about a designated acceptable target. Look, here’s some tourists who just got whatever haircut they asked for in response to that mass media frenzy.
What are we expecting the state to say, “hello world, we denounce the western media claims that you can’t buy hotdogs here” every time some ridiculous claim is made? I can’t imagine any of our leaders wasting time doing that, and DPRK’s definitely got bigger problems to worry about than what we think of them.
Well, it’s a bit of a problem when the media’s widely-reported ‘estimated guesses’ are comically ridiculous and easily disproven, like that everyone must have the same haircut as Kimmy (and that having that haircut is also illegal), or claiming multiple officials have been executed with an anti-aircraft gun but it turns out they’re alive.
