“”I made a very honest mistake by carrying in an external, portable hard drive that contained some anti-North Korean footage from the Western media.””

Have to wonder what he was going to do with a hard drive in N. Korea...borrow a computer?

Well, what the North Korean’s are telling their people is true. The trick is the definition of poverty.

They must be bootlegging in Sanders stump speeches...

In the ‘70’s and ‘80’s , the Soviet TV showed clips of drive by mob shootings from the TV show, “The Untouchables” with Robert Stack on their news broadcasts and claimed that was everyday life in the USA....

Notice how Norks and RATS believe the same things about America? At least the Norks have an excuse, they don’t know the truth. RATS just lie.

My father went to China for business, and they asked him about America. He showed them pictures of his ham radio antennas on the house. They asked him if that is where his apartment was, no one there had a house that big to themselves, couldn’t imagine it.

I’d take Rodman over Kerry as Secretary of State any day.

The USSR showed the movie "The Grapes of Wrath" to Russian audiences in 1948, to depict how bad life was in the US.

They withdrew the movie when what Russian audiences noticed, was that in America, even the poorest family owned a car!

“They withdrew the movie when what Russian audiences noticed, was that in America, even the poorest family owned a car!”

In the 1970s, the Russians sent a reporter to show how bad everything is in the United States. He went into one of our drug stores and used it as an example of how sickly Americans were. But the people watching the report knew enough to tune out the reporter and instead looked behind him, and found shelves fully stocked with stuff they could only dream of ever getting their hands on. Same thing...Russian people are much smarter than their media thinks they are.
