The DPRK’s gear is fairly old, but that tank design is clearly from the 1950’s.

Wow.

[jakerobins]

[Revolting cat!]

I'm lunning fole US Plesident rike Geolge Dukaki!

[21twelve]

Surprised me with his nice stature on the horse - and yes - what a beautiful horse. And while in America I wouldn’t judge someone on their belongings; but when commenting on N. Korea I think it is fitting to point out that horse lives better than probably 90% of the population.

[AnAmericanMother]

Oh, yes. That glossy coat and well developed musculature are produced by a first-class diet.

Unlike most of the human population in NK.

The horse deserves a better master. Even though he has a nice, relaxed, deep seat at a pretty brisk canter.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Some of the more interesting nicknames that have come down the pike for him include “Pugsley”, “Pubert”, “The Great Suck”, “Overfed the Unready”, “Cartu-salam” (roughly Korean for “Cartman”.

>> Well, he doesn’t have a bad seat on a horse.

Don’t forget that even a stopped clock tells the time correctly twice a day. Check out his facial expression in photo #6:

“Ohhhhh, shittttttt, Dobbin is going waaaaaay tooooo fasssst for me.”

[QBFimi]

Correction - make that photo #7.

[Tucker39]

To me, the best part of the “photo spread” is the dappled gray horse. Good looking mount, and to be honest, I have to say that Chubby sits him pretty well, too. As a priviledged brat, he probably had riding lessons.

Either a Quarter Horse or a Thoroughbred, the steed reminds me of Tom Berringer’s mount in “Last of the Dog Men,” although that horse was actually a mare.

For his credit, Dukakis actually fit into a tank without a struggle.

Russian tankers couldn't be any taller than 5' 7" (183 cm). It let them build lower profiled tanks. Mike would have made Major General as a Russian tanker. The U.S. likes aggressive tankers (think Patton), and tall men seem to be more physically aggressive than short ones.

I saw that on NHK last night. What a hoot.

[6SJ7]

Kim Jong-pooh.

It might depend on the bamboo shoot quality and quantity.

[stefanbatory]

do you think his mother is known as Ma Jong?

[Captain Rhino]

Tiger,

You, no doubt, already know this, but for others curious about what kind of tank Mr. Kim is driving, it is a PT-76 amphibious tank, a 1950s Soviet design armed with a 76mm main gun.

Widely used in the WARSAW Pact and 3rd World countries. U.S encountered them in South Vietnam (A Shau Valley?); LAW meat (when they are working - the LAWs, that is).

An improved version (85mm gun, IIRC) is manufactured by the Chinese.
