Now with the freak Mc Master as head of national security we can't expect to see lies let up anytime soon. <br /><br />Kim has stated, supposedly, the reason he is concentrating on nukes is because they are much cheaper to develop and maintain than conventional weapons.Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029983140109710071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-29703945664319568712017-05-02T13:20:05.572-04:002017-05-02T13:20:05.572-04:00How do we know these reports are a reliable indica...How do we know these reports are a reliable indication of broad trends, and not just a case of gullible reporters being led around by state-approved chaperones to see model cities/markets, or how the elite live?

According to the article Kim started his free market move in 2010, Rodman's first visit wasn't until 2013.<br /><br />Why can't you give credit to the possibility that during the time Kim lived in Switzerland he realized the wealth free markets could bring?Felix Somaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10179680899223756525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-1381660800197325832017-05-02T10:59:07.029-04:002017-05-02T10:59:07.029-04:00I'll take the more cynical view that Kim reali...I'll take the more cynical view that Kim realized starving citizens eventually eat their rulers. His change is one of self-survival. Or perhaps he was so inspired by Dennis Rodman's individualism and personal success that he now wants the same for his people.Stuffed Pimentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631687618198640700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-20118506075764972222017-05-02T06:32:53.095-04:002017-05-02T06:32:53.095-04:00Let freedom ring!Let freedom ring!Veterans for Peace Indianapolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927156876347502654noreply@blogger.com
