The willingness to believe the most ridiculous propaganda about anything related to Kim is amazingly.
Everyday I see posts in different internet communities from people who are in love with #Korean culture and now want to live (study/work) in #Korea. This is both beautiful and somewhat worrying. It's beautiful that everyone is enamored with #KoreanMedia products, but
Korea is not a fantasy. It's a complex country with good things (food) and bad things (price to buy a home). To have the type of life you may fantasize about after watching some #Kdramas, the best step is to push your Korean language #fluency to the utmost possible.
And, because language is intimately tied to culture, to understand Korean at an advanced level, you need to also study the history and society of Korea. I have a pinned tweet with a bunch of book recommendations, and there are also great open access journals that

Depuis mars 2022, où les 3/4 de la population avaient reçu le booster, jusqu'à fin janvier, la surmortalité moyenne est de +22%.
Le cumul atteint maintenant l'équivalent de 3,2 mois de mortalité ordinaire.
Très comparable à des pays en théorie + touchés.

Et les décès Covid, qui auraient pourtant dû être beaucoup plus rares dans un pays aussi massivement "protégé", expliquent moins de la moitié des décès en excès (41%).

#SouthKorea made a significant move today on #Japan relations, saying its own govt will compensate victims of Japanese forced labor during WWII, ending a years-long feud on the issue.

President Yoon @President_KR justified based on national interest, esp Korea's future challenges re: NK & China, & how Japan is now a country that shares "universal values" w/ South Korea. US applauded the move. What could possibly be wrong w/ that? /2
On the one hand, this appears to be a classic example of @EunbinChung 's theory of national identity affirmation (NIA) in her book, Pride, Not Prejudice, in which she argues that affirming one's own national identity/pride can help overcome past conflicts/tensions. /3

It stands to reason that the masses around the world began to favor #communism after #WWII — out of gratitude to the Soviets for saving them from #fascism.
Evidently this scared the hell out of the fascists in the US government intelligence agencies. 😟

2/n The biggest consumer of these dumped widgets and other goods was/is the U.S.; The #CCP had explicit intent to destroy key industrial sectors from the United States in an attempt to garner our reliance on China and did the same to Europe, Japan, & other neighbors in the region
Naturally, beggar thy neighbor currency wars in those parts of the world offer the opposite of deflation to the us economy, due to its composition: 70%+ Services (we sit around and give each other back massages), 30% the rest. And as far as imports to, we are keeping #China alive

Some Idiots asking for comparison in 2004-14. It’s not a correct comparison since Crude Oil became 400% ($35=>$140/bbl) during that time. So a fair comparison would be till May 2004 and 3Q 2007 when Brent Rallied b/w $35 to $75/bbl. INR appreciated vs DXY at that time (2 charts)
Now in #UNGA, vote to join UN "Human Rights" Council on which China & #Cameroon sit. Only 2 competitions: LatAm & Caribbean: #Chile, #CostaRica & #Venezuela (3 for 2 seats); Asia: #Afghanistan, #Bangladesh, #Kyrgyzstan, #Maldives, #Korea, #Vietnam (6 for 4 seats)
Already, it is exposed that candidates are handing out gifts (bribes) at the doorway of #UNGA. The UN is ever more corrupt under @antonioguterres - Inner City Press used to live stream this bribery, until Guterres had it thrown out pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…
It's Singapore, asking @UN_PGA @Csaba_Korosi_ to do his job and stop the bribery in #UNGA. Doubt he will - he has adopted @antonioguterres' censorship of Press, so why not this? Now, after gifts given, Korosi says he's shocked, like in Casablanca

For these reasons American tank crews were ordered tiger faces and claws on their tanks in an effort to spread panic between the enemy lines, hoping that those superstitious among the Chinese in the Korean lines would run rather than shoot a tiger (3/6)

the official language of the Korea court throughout its recorded history.
In the Annals, we read the following declaration:
