North Korea accuses Seoul of 'cunning plot' to release snakes over border

Seoul’s spy agency is behind the unseasonably high number of snakes in Ryanggang province

Ryanggang province is not near DMZ. It is on the other side of N. Korea, bordering China. It is also a land-locked province. How could SK's spy agency tranport so many snakes into the region deep inside N. Korea? In the end, it doesn't matter. They say whatever they want to do another day of S. Korea bashing, whether it makes sense or not. N. Korean people just play along, not trying to put much thought into it. Another day in a typical totalitarian land of big lies.

Another daily dose of N. Korean antics for good laugh. They have been providing comic relief for many in the world.

Sounds like NK soldiers are playing Pokémon Go a bit too much...

I would think the North Koreans would be eating these snakes as fast as they can slither across the DMZ.

[Billthedrill]

Spy snakes. They’re onto us.

[ssapro]

Snakes on a prain? Those crazy North Koreans.

[philled]

I assumed they’d welcome snakes and see them as a source of food- not as slithering agents bent on taking down dear leader.

I thought the Democrat convention was in Philly.

[lacrew]

Wow. Points towards most North Koreans not having access to a map, and having no notion of where they physically are.

Also, the DMZ is several miles wide...making this snake scheme difficult to pull off.

They need to allow a priest to hold a High Mass for Saint Patrick, who ‘drove all the snakes out of Ireland!”

[Sir Napsalot]

Oh, my. Snakes.

I heard there were some tasty Chinese recipes for snake soups and such ......

[IronJack]

Snakes on the plains?

Maybe Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are behind it. They seem to be the shadowy puppet-masters these days.

[Kudsman]

All your snake are belong to us.

[goodnesswins]

We need snakes dropped along our busy (illegal) border crossings

[eastforker]

A cunning plot?? Instigated by none other than Mike Hunt!

[Pinkbell]

I wonder if those snakes are safe for the starving people to eat. It’s sad, but when you’re starving, you’re more willing to eat what you can.

[refreshed]

I think we now know dear leader has a great fear of the slithery reptiles. That brings to mind some ideas for terrorizing him. Heh.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

That was my first thought, too.

[Moltke]

Free food!
