Via Japundit is this 45 minute video on the formation of Korea and the nuclear issue.
After missile and nuclear tests and uranium enrichment, the U.S. sanctions North Korean firms while Pyongyang reverses, making overtures. It’s not an accident, it’s a pattern of strategic disengagement.
- #Vanity Fair, of all publications, has a lengthy article on North Korea’s counterfeiting operations, including Office 39. Well worth a read. (h/t NE Asia Matters)
- #The Chosun Ilbo has an article about a new book by Chang Jin-song (formerly affiliated with the North Korean Workers' Party) that details Kim Jong-il private life, including the inside scoop on all his lady friends. According to Chang, one unfortunate young lady to get Kim's attention was, "brutally executed after she spurned Kim's persistent advances and fell in love with another man."
- #Gizmodo has an excellent array of Kim Jong-il photos; In Which We Provoke Kim Jong Il in 77 Offensive and Hilarious Ways. Some are sure to become often used classics.

I recall my disappointment when I watched this video the first time, with the editorial emphasis placed on presenting the point of views and the ‘coulda-shoulda-woulda’ memories of the ‘engage at ANY cost’ group.
I had forgotten my jaw dropping to the floor when they trotted out Kim Myong-chol, a boot-licking sychophant of the Kim Family Regime if there ever was one.
