The opening immediately brings the Idiocrasy's rehabilitation :)
With Russia becoming bigger problem Kim has lost that position, and looks like he is trying to get at least some of the former attention. And there is no notebooks, and nobody writes each and every word of the dear leader into the notebooks - add to that the leather jacket, and it looks like NK is undergoing reforms/modernization moving itself into their version of 21st century. The rocket launch video from the drone is almost like SpaceX video from the on-board camera :)
Interesting that they clearly show where it is happening. And in general NK isn't that big to hide these large missiles and their trucks.
Btw, am i the only one who hears them screaming "Banzai!" (https://youtu.be/0PGMXz_X8K8?t=120 https://youtu.be/0PGMXz_X8K8?t=120) - to me it looks a bit out of place for a national propaganda in a Korean state.

Nope, you weren't the only one, and it of course reminded me of these famous series of sketches from the Italian television back in the '90s.

- nereye 5y agoFWIW, they're shouting '발사' (balsa), i.e. launch/fire, not 'banzai'.
- glandium 5y agoTo me, it sounded like 発射 (hassha) in Japanese. I guess that's how you'd write 발사 in Hanja.
- nereye 5y agoYes, it’s those characters (in Kanji/Japanese), in Hanja/Korean it would have been 發射, the glyph for the first character is different even though it’s the same ideograph in Unicode (due to Han unification). https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/發 https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/發 shows each of the three variants for CJK.
