But the real question is how many South Koreans will actually believe this ….
Another day, another chutzpah record broken in Pyongyang:
“The South Korean puppet regime’s faked sinking of the Cheonan has created a very serious situation on the Korean peninsula, pushing it towards the brink of war,” Maj. Gen. Pak Rim Su, director of the commission’s policy department, said at the press conference, according to broadcaster APTN.
A number of people attended, including some foreigners who may have been Pyongyang-based diplomats, footage showed. A uniformed foreign military officer could be seen watching the proceedings, which were aired in full on state television. [….]
“These anti-North Korean confrontations are an open declaration of war against us and an extraordinarily criminal act that pushes inter-Korean relations into a state of war,” Pak said.
According to KCNA:
Present there were Korean and foreign reporters, representatives and military attaches of foreign embassies and representatives of international organizations here.
Isn’t it possible that they were just a group of foreigners on a Koryo Tour who got hustled in to weiguk it up a little?
(Can I say “weiguk”?)
Economist has now drawn up its own special about NK titled : ‘If North Korea implodes’

As the KCNA would say, its like a theif yelling “stop running theif !”
Let this with its connections to this put an end to such talk.
