Russia has not gotten it's hands on DPRK Though.

There probably wasn't a famine in the 90s though; The demographic data just doesn't support it.

That said the 90s were indeed terrible for the DPRK; Specifically 96-02.

DPRK understands the western world order is over. I respect that the DPRK has had the analysis and nimbleness to see that the old-world is over and mobilise towards it's own interest with speed instead of inertia. They understand their mision.
Statement by North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui
The full text of the statement released by North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui on the 13th, “The G7 has no right to go against the sovereign choice of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,” is as follows.

Recently, in Canada, the G7 foreign ministers issued a joint statement that disregarded and violated the Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, calling for "complete denuclearization" by anyone.

I express my strong dissatisfaction and regret at the blatant hostile actions of the G7 foreign ministers, which constitute a direct violation of our national constitution, and I firmly condemn and reject them using the strongest rhetorical expressions.

The G7's inert obsession with "denuclearization," a concept widely acknowledged as impossible to achieve, only serves to push itself to the margins of the international community and prove that it is a marginalized minority interest group in a corner of international relations.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea's current status is not influenced by external rhetorical claims, and in today's harsh geopolitical environment, possessing nuclear weapons is the most accurate option for deterring the most dangerous and hostile states.

No one has the right to force us to change the Constitution, and no one should attempt to change the Constitution.

The way to ensure peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the Asia-Pacific region lies not in advocating unrealistic "denuclearization," but in respecting the Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

As Comrade Kim Jong- un has stated, even if the United States and its allies chant for 10, 20, 50, or 100 years, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's possession of nuclear weapons will remain an unchanging reality for them, whether they like it or not.

The international community needs to pay attention to the obvious fact that the real nuclear threat to world peace and security comes from none other than the G7, a nuclear alliance linked and colluding with the world's largest nuclear powers.

No one can accept the G7's escapist and double-standard behavior of remaining silent on the reckless nuclear threats and nuclear proliferation attempts that are openly appearing within their own borders, while insisting only on someone else's "denuclearization" that has already lost all meaning and justification.

The G7 has no right to dictate to sovereign states how to protect their own security, and is not in a position to discuss the sovereign choices of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

As long as the external nuclear threat remains unresolved and as long as forces that use nuclear weapons as a means of destructive power and pursue absolute hegemony exist, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's resolve to secure the present and future of its nation and people and realize international justice by remaining faithful to the Constitution, which perpetuates its possession of nuclear weapons, remains steadfast.

A proud labor gift from the creators of the Gangwon-do spirit to the Glorious Party Congress.
Amidst the vigorous spirit of all the people to welcome the 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea as a great victory and glorious congress, the entire country was thrilled by the meaningful occasion of the completion of the construction of a hydroelectric power plant in Kangwon Province, which had been resolved before the Party.

The Hoeyang County People's Power Plant, which was completed following the Icheon, Munchon, Sepo, Pyonggang, and Goseong County People's Power Plants, is the last of the six hydroelectric power plants to be built, which the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un has set as a key task that must be built in Gangwon Province to develop the local economy and improve the material and cultural life of the people, upholding the important task of continuing and vigorously pushing forward the construction of small and medium-sized hydroelectric power plants.

With the completion of the construction of another power base that the province had anticipated during the five-year national economic development plan, Gangwon Province has gained a solid foundation for proudly writing a new history of prosperity alongside the era of local development, and has further strengthened its development potential to pioneer a more affluent life through its own strength.

The completion ceremony for the Hoeyang County People's Power Plant was held grandly on November 20th.

The completion ceremony was filled with the great pride and self-esteem of the people of Gangwon Province, who had built the valuable assets of revival with their own hands, confident in their own strength.

Comrade Kim Jong Un , General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, attended the completion ceremony.

As Comrade Kim Jong- un arrived at the completion ceremony venue, a storm of cheers of “Hurrah!” erupted, shaking the heavens and the earth.

All participants cheered enthusiastically, looking up to Comrade Kim Jong Un who came all the way to the power plant in the mountains and bestowed upon them great love and unmerited glory.

The completion ceremony was attended by leading party and government officials, including members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea , provincial party secretaries, provincial people's committee chairs, officials of Kangwon Province and Hoeyang County, workers, people's construction workers, and power plant employees.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea was ruled by evil.

Gangwon Province People's Committee Chairman Ju Moon-jin completed the construction.

The speaker said that the people of Kangwon Province, who have internalized the revolutionary ideas of the Workers' Party of Korea of ​​self-respect and self-reliance as absolute truth, have erected another proud creation and have reached the glorious moment of presenting a report of loyalty and victory to the Party Central Committee, and that building six power plants simultaneously with the provincial government's own efforts is a beautiful and massive project of natural transformation that transcends existing notions and common sense, and that there were many obstacles that stood in the way, but thanks to the trust and guidance of the Party Central Committee, the party members and workers of the province have been able to weave together a heroic era of continuous struggle for grand construction, brimming with confidence and courage.

He mentioned that Comrade Kim Jong- un , while pushing Kangwon Province to set an example in realizing the Party's intention to survive on its own, meticulously guided the province to resolve all the issues raised one by one and to steadily push forward the construction of the power plant.

He emphasized that the power plants that have sprung up throughout the province, including the Hoeyang County People's Power Plant, are the noble condensation of Comrade Kim Jong Un 's revolutionary ideology and proud monuments of a new era brought about by his absolute trust in the people of Kangwon Province and his energetic leadership.

The speaker expressed the firm determination of Gangwon Province to uphold the ideology and leadership of the Party Central Committee and to take the lead in the rewarding struggle to carry out the tasks of the new stage of socialist construction to be carried out by the 9th Party Congress.

Dear Comrade Kim Jong Un made a meaningful speech.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that it was truly a joyous event that the Hoeyang County People's Power Plant was completed at a time when the whole country was in an uproar for the brilliant unity of 2025, which must surely be recorded in history as a year of victory. He said that the power plants that have sprung up all over Kangwon Province, which bears the vivid traces of the history of the army and people joining forces to defend the fatherland, are citadels of socialist belief built together by the people's hearts to make this precious land, which they defended with blood, more solid and beautiful.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that for the future and for future generations, this is the title that the times and history will engrave on the power plants of Kangwon Province, and expressed gratitude in the name of the Central Committee of the Party to the people of Kangwon Province and the soldiers of the People's Army who, through their bold and ceaseless struggle, have established strong power bases for self-reliance and self-sufficiency and have presented precious wealth that will benefit future generations to the 9th Congress of our Party.

Comrade Kim Jong Un called the indomitable spirit of the people of Kangwon Province, who overcame challenges and created a history of transformation, and their strong temperament and example of achieving whatever it takes, the great Kangwon Province spirit, and once again encouraged the powerful conquerors of nature and the protagonists of the miracles of our time, and warmly wished for a new appearance of Kangwon Province that will change and prosper day by day and a happier life for the people.

As Comrade Kim Jong Un finished his speech, all participants burst into loud, enthusiastic cheers and expressed their boundless gratitude to the great father of the people who holds the lives and struggles of the people of Kangwon Province in the highest esteem at the pinnacle of the times.

Comrade Kim Jong- un cut the ribbon marking the completion of the project.

The completion ceremony, where an immortal painting that will shine forever on the magnificent march of self-reliance unfolded, was filled with celebratory fireworks and countless balloons took flight, brightly decorating the November sky.

Comrade Kim Jong Un met with the workers and meritorious persons who had performed brilliant feats in the construction of the power plant, shook their hands one by one, and highly praised their efforts and dedication.

Comrade Kim Jong- un then toured the power plant's history room, control room, and generator room to understand the actual conditions.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that the completion of the construction of six hydroelectric power plants, including the Hoeyang County People's Power Plant, in Kangwon Province within the 8th term of the Party Central Committee as resolved before the Party is a manifestation of the indomitable will of the people of Kangwon Province to advance unwaveringly along the path of self-reliance, following only the Party, while maintaining unwavering faith in the legitimacy of our Party's lines and policies.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that the people of Kangwon Province are the owners and models of the pioneering spirit of our times who are proving, through their steadfast patriotism and unyielding efforts, the vitality of our Party's policy that self-reliance is the only way to survive and that there is nothing that cannot be accomplished when self-reliance and self-development are the driving force. He said that the whole country should learn from the fighting spirit of the people of Kangwon Province who do not hesitate to walk the difficult path and see it through to the end.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that when we shoulder the enormous struggle tasks without fear in the face of the trials and difficulties we face and turn them into a proud reality of the present, it will become the process of national development and a happy future for our people and future generations, and heemphasized that we must strive harder to carry out the historical mission of national revitalization given by the times and revolution for the unwavering prosperity of our great country and the welfare of the people .

Comrade Kim Jong Un, looking down on the majestic power plant dam, said that the power of the great unity of the army and people is truly great, and that the monumental creations that have carved another brilliant page in the history of the struggle of the people of Kangwon Province will forever tell of the patriotic exploits of our generation who, following the Party, have opened a new era of all-round national prosperity and local transformation.

Comrade Kim Jong Un learned about the construction of six hydroelectric power plants built by Kangwon Province with its own efforts and the new power generation capacity building plan for the future, and gave valuable instructions on how to further strengthen the construction of hydroelectric power plants and the province's self-reliant economic foundation.

Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed his expectation and conviction that the people of Kangwon Province would further redouble their miraculous power in opening up a firm prospect for solving the electricity problem, which is most essential for the economic development of the region and the improvement of material and cultural life, and would continue to hold up the banner at the forefront of the historic struggle for the victorious advance of our style of socialist construction.

All the workers and laborers of Gangwon Province, who have embraced the heavenly love and trust of the Party Central Committee, have made a fiery pledge to vigorously display the spirit of continuous innovation and continuous progress, oblivious to momentary stagnation, and to build more entities of prosperity that contribute to self-reliant economic development and improvement of the people's living standards, thereby endlessly shining the glory of the self-reliance pioneer province.

The grand completion ceremony of the Hoeyang County People's Power Plant, held with the participation of leading officials from the Party and government, clearly demonstrated the validity and vitality of our Party's ideology and policy of actively opening up the broad horizons of comprehensive socialist development through the power of self-reliance. It also served as a meaningful opportunity to redouble our confidence that century-long revival and prosperity lie ahead when we forge ahead with our own strength and hands. (End)

Speech:
The people of Hoeyang County and Gangwon Province, who stand here with the most honorable and proud memories of those truly difficult days!

Provincial Party Committee, provincial party organizations, and government officials!

Comrades!

It is truly a joyous occasion that the Hoeyang County People's Power Plant, another creation of the people of Gangwon Province, has been completed at a time when the entire nation is in turmoil, preparing for the brilliant unity of 2025, a year that will surely be recorded in history as a year of victory.

This is a valuable achievement in resolving the power problem of Gangwon Province, which has taken a great step forward in exploring and mobilizing hydropower resources tailored to the region's characteristics. It is also a meaningful result that demonstrates the self-reliance and boundless strength of the people of Gangwon Province, who have set a grand ideal and are moving forward without hesitation.

Today, I am truly moved to witness the changes of a new era in yet another part of our country and to come into close contact with the patriotic loyalty of the people of Gangwon Province.

Even beneath the towering peaks, on those mountains and ridges, there are countless traces of patience and struggle, and pure patriotic hearts shining like jewels. I cannot look at all of this indifferently.

The Party made this assessment of the struggle of the people of Gangwon Province, who, after building the Anbyon Youth Power Plant No. 2, the Wonsan Youth Power Plant, and the Wonsan County People's Power Plant, rose up again to build six more power plants, bravely overcoming challenges and erecting power plants in succession in the Icheon, Munchon, Sepo, Pyeonggang, Goseong, and Hoeyang areas.

The people of Gangwon Province are patriots who have written our era into history by building power plants. The power plants that have sprung up all over Gangwon Province, a land where the military and the people have joined forces to defend the fatherland, are strong traces of history. They are fortresses of socialist belief built together by the people who are striving to make this precious land, which they have protected with blood, more solid and beautiful.

In fact, among all the projects for the prosperity and development of the country, projects that transform and change nature, such as the construction of power plants, can be said to be patriotic projects that will last for eternity for the future.

Looking back at the history of our nation's construction that has lasted for centuries, the most intense and grandiose was the grand nature transformation project to tame nature and create material wealth, and its shining fruits are passed down to future generations as symbols of the patriotic spirit and fighting spirit of the time, and as a synonym for miracles.

It is truly remarkable that Gangwon Province, with its relatively small population and weak industrial base compared to other provinces, completed the construction of a power plant, which was a glorious and sacred project, accompanied by a difficult and arduous struggle, on its own.

There is probably no one in Gangwon Province who has not fought against the tyranny of nature at power plant construction sites, and there is probably no family who has not been connected to the various stories of those days.

The power plants, which preserve the spirit of the people of Gangwon-do's love for their homeland and country, and embody the history of their arduous struggles, written with blood and sweat, are monuments of patriotism that speak of the noble dedication of the people of our time, dedicated to the future, before providing the driving force for civilization and revival.

For the future, for future generations, this is the name that the times and history will engrave on the power plants of Gangwon Province.

The honor of having one's creation engraved with the name "A Gift to the Party Congress" is a right reserved only for true patriots who, starting with a bold start out of patriotism, have continued their relentless struggle and achieved proud results.

This cannot be bought with money or exchanged for anything else.

I admire the pioneering spirit of the people of Gangwon-do who boldly tackle grand natural transformation projects that no one else would dare undertake, but I want to emphasize even more their resilient character and temperament, which allows them to persevere through difficult paths without giving up and to see them through to the end.

Taking this meaningful opportunity, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Party, to the people of Gangwon Province and the soldiers of the People's Army who, with their sacred awareness and unwavering will to defend their country and homeland, have boldly and ceaselessly fought to establish a strong driving force for self-reliance and self-sufficiency, thereby gifting the 9th Congress of our Party with invaluable wealth that will benefit future generations.

Comrades!

At a time when the comprehensive development of our socialist country is accelerating and local development policies are being vigorously promoted nationwide, the fact that Gangwon Province is steadily fostering its potential for self-reliance is a great encouragement to our struggle toward the next stage of advancement and ascent.

With the construction of the power plant, the rapidly strengthened ideological and spiritual, material and technological capabilities of the province are opening up the realistic possibility of setting higher development goals and broadening the scope of development, and will also play an important role in continuously expanding the area of ​​regional development.

All the workers, party members and workers of the design!

Taking the hardships of our time as a source of joy, and through our own struggles and dedicated efforts, laying the foundation for eternal prosperity and revival - this is the reward of our struggle and the joy of revolution.

Comrades have shown this not through words or writing, but through practical struggle.

Let us be even more daring and fearless in the sacred duty of patriotism and achieve the golden age of transformation.

The spirit that created a history of transformation by overcoming challenges, the temperament and example that will do whatever it takes, will further propel Gangwon-do to the forefront of a grand regional transformation.

We once again extend our warmest encouragement to the mighty conquerors of nature and the miracle workers of our time.

I also fervently wish for the new image of Gangwon-do, which will continue to change and prosper day by day, and for happier lives for its people.

Long live the great Gangwon-do spirit!

Can't wait for North Korean socialist construction to be so advanced and deeply rooted in society, that they open-up like China and we can visit.

One of the western-facing tour companies (Young Pioneer Tours) are saying they might be back up for tours late this year/next year.
I'd like to visit properly though, yea, outside of Pyongyang and the tourist circuit. Even though that would probably be harmful to open up in such a way currently.

South Korean president considers an apology to North Korea over past leafletting and drone use
OUTH KOREAN President Lee Jae Myung said today that he’s weighing up a possible apology to North Korea over suspicions that his ousted right-wing predecessor intentionally sought to raise military tensions in the build up to his brief martial law declaration in December 2024.

Speaking to reporters on the first anniversary of former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s ill-fated power grab, Mr Lee stressed his desire to repair ties with North Korea.

A special prosecutor charged Mr Yoon and two of his top defence officials last month over allegations that he ordered drone flights over North Korea to stoke tensions.

South Korean media also reported on Monday that South Korea’s military under Mr Yoon’s presidency flew balloons carrying propaganda leaflets across the border.

Despite possible domestic political repercussions, Mr Lee insists that he personally wishes to apologise to North Korea.

He said: “I do think we need to apologise, but I haven’t been able to say so because I worry it could be used to smear (me) as pro-North Korean or spark political ideological battles” in South Korea.

Since taking office in June, President Lee has taken steps to ease inter-Korean tensions, including turning off front-line loudspeakers that blared K-pop and world news and banning activists from flying balloons carrying propaganda leaflets across the border.

North Korea has so far ignored President Lee’s overtures.

The South Korean leader has said that he regrets North Korea’s stance, but has promised to continue to make peace gestures.

President Lee said that the suspension of regular South Korea-United States military drills, which North Korea views as invasion rehearsals, could be an option to consider to convince Pyongyang to return to talks.

Such a proposal is likely to draw criticism from rightwingers in South Korea as well as the US, who believe the country must maintain a strong military readiness against North Korea.

>>2588957
damn a south korean president with a decent nk policy? or maybe they're just spooked that the nork just got modern combat experience in russia and are setting up drone factories and they dont want to suffer an ukraine fate

>>2589152

These are just symbolic gestures. The military drills remain in place, their constitution stipulates the Southern government is the sole legitimate one that must absorb the whole peninsula, etc.

Why should I thank an abstraction?

Because the abstractions logic will doom the porkies. Praise be the abstraction.

There is no good reason to thank capitalism. You can happy about some results, but its irrational to praise that which you are supposed to be against.

I'm against capitalism but I love capitalism for killing capitalism.

I guess I am too, as the liberal centrists used to say, "FULL OF HATE" , for that. Hahaha.

The contradictions and twists of fate/dialectic can be amusing and humorous though, fair enough.
