Jabba the Kim among the Ewoks, or worst photo op ever
Maybe the Associated Press’s new vocation as a propaganda outlet for North Korea has a brighter side than I’d originally realized. Today, the AP brings us what must be the worst photo op ever, a barracks inspection by Kim Jong Eun.
If the producer of this film really meant to glorify Jong Eun, he deserves to be sent packing to some God-forsaken ash-heap in the outer provinces. If he’s the world’s most cunningly courageous dissident, Seal Team Six should extract him and his entire family. On the Goebbels Scale of insidious propaganda genius, this makes Dukakis-in-a-tank look like Triumph of the Will. Not even Brian Myers can explain this away. Sure, I can believe that this video would be awfully persuasive to North Koreans, but to believe that it will be persuasive in the ways the regime wants it to be, you also have to believe that North Koreans are not just culturally different, but less than fully human.
Dukakis is a veteran. He was stationed in Korea in the mid-fifties. I’m not sure, but I think he was in the armor. But once Republicans decide to ridicule a Democrat, and the media go along, the ridicule is permanent, or at least it will continue as long as guys like Joshua are ready to perpetuate it.
Dukakis served two years in the Army with some of that time in Korea as a radio operator. He was not in an armor unit.
DUKAKIS’ MILITARY SERVICE UNEVENTFUL, SAY WHAT FEW RECORDS EXIST AFTER FIRE
Joshua,
You are missing the fact that fatso is giving on-the-spot guidance. Reassuring, isn’t it?
so then Dukakis is the infamous radar o’reilly?
“What do you eat? Nothing.”
I’d read about that video. It was horrible to finally watch. Shook me.
You Americans are pathetic. Who are you to judge this country, its people or its leader?
Why do you think you always know what everyone else should have in this country?
The North Koreans for the most part want the system that they have, and for that system to prosper. It’s amazing what a misleading picture American propaganda manages to produce of North Korea.
@Snezhinka…. all that has presented here are pictures released by the might nork’s own propaganda machine. LOL
@Snezhinka
We get it. Putin wouldn’t like North Korea to be united with South Korea. It would be a threat to their Siberian shores. And shift the power dramatically over to the free republics. Hey, just make sure Putin is still alive a couple of years from now, okay?
Gosh he is fat!!!
Must have been pigging out a lot lately.
As you can see, non of the scared military-kids do not dare to look at him. No one.
Hopefully they are happy that they got 1 decilitre more corn soup this day, because the fat leader was visiting?
Is it only the elite/generals who is allowed to look AT him? Must be..
And the way he is explaining about how the school desk should be designed,(open/close) like it´s his idea when it is something we have had in Europe for almost 200 years 😉
Man what a fat blob! But Dukakis was every bit as much of an embarassment even when he wasn’t in that tank back in 1988. Who cares if he was a veteran? His presidency would have been every bit as bad as Jabba the Kim’s or our current buffoon occupying the White House. But like the Communist ones on the streets, he will be removed and remembered as nothing more than a major league failure.
