Fake Cries at North Korea's Kim Jong-Un Speech
Kim Jong-Un made his second speech at a major public event since taking power in December, addressing a children's rally aimed at winning a new generation's support. The speech was organized to commemorate the 66th anniversary of the Korean Children's Union founding.
During the speech, the young members of KCU started to burst into tears.
Was the festive speech such a touching one?
The whole over exaggerated scenery looked like a scam with extremely proficient musical actors. Kim Jong-Un, is it really worth being a leader who wants to be shown to the outside world to be a respected leader of warm-heartedness, at the cost of brainwashing innocent kids to burst into tears?
No matter how hard you try, what we see is a leader who is propagandize military-first policies, and idolizing yourself in front of innocent kids.
Don't you think it's about time that you grow up?

In commemoration of those who fought for freedom and peace...
Not long ago, 12 KIA bodies were brought back to Korea.
North Korea found the bodies and notified to the Korean government that the deceased soldiers were of Korean origin.
The US lost around 30 thousand soldiers during the Korean War.
It is believed that there many that are still to be found in North Korean soil.
The US government put a lot of effort to bring them back.
In 1993, the US and North Korea agreed to cooperate for excavating the war heroes' bodies. Until 2005, 225 bodies were found.
However, after 2005, relations with North Korea deteriorated after the North launched missile tests.
The Korean government is negotiating with the North for the excavation of the deceased soldiers, but there is little progress.
It is a shame...
We hope that the two countries can come to an agreement so that those who fought for freedom and peace could return to their homeland.

Another Trouble Maker, China
Recently, China and Philippines have been fighting over Scarborough island in South China Sea. Historically, the island has been Philippine territory, and nobody dared to deny that fact.
However, from an unknown point in time, China has been claiming that the island is Chinese territory, and recently, the Chinese government banned Philippine fishermen from approaching the island.
At the moment, China is making a similar situation with Korean island... The Ieodo...
Historically, Ieodo is Korean territory, but China is claming that Ieodo is Chinese territory for security and economic reasons.
China has territory disputes with a total of 14 countries.
If China wants to be a powerful nation, it has to act like one, and not bully other countries, and create bunch of unnecessary conflicts.
How can we call such a country a G2 nation?
