fWotD Episode 2869: Pulgasari Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 13 March 2025 is Pulgasari.Pulgasari is an epic monster film directed and produced by Shin Sang-ok in 1985 during his North Korean abduction. A co-production between North Korea, Japan, and China, it is supposedly a remake of Bulgasari, a 1962 South Korean film that also depicts Bulgasari/Pulgasari, a creature from Korean folklore. The ensemble cast includes Chang Sŏnhŭi, Ham Kisŏp, Ri Chongguk, Ri Ingwŏn, and Yu Kyŏngae, with Kenpachiro Satsuma in the title role. Set during the Goryeo dynasty, Pulgasari follows a blacksmith's daughter who brings to life a metal-eating monster her late father created to defeat the monarchy.Shin and his wife, Choi Eun-hee, were kidnapped in 1978 by agents of Kim Jong Il, and held captive in North Korea. Pulgasari was put forward in February 1985 to capitalize on the success of The Return of Godzilla (1984), and became Shin's last film made under Kim Jong Il's orders. Kim Seryun and Ri Chun-gu collaborated on the screenplay. Principal photography took place in Pyongyang from June to August 1985 on an estimated ¥200–300 million ($2–3 million) budget, making it one of the most expensive films ever produced in North Korea to that time. Some sources suggest that North Korean filmmaker Chong Gon-jo, who was given sole director credit, completed filming on behalf of Shin. A team of 15 Toho employees, including Teruyoshi Nakano, handled special effects photography from September to December.Pulgasari was previewed at Toho Studios in January 1986 and readied for release in Japan and North Korea later that year. However, the film was banned in March after Shin and Choi escaped North Korean supervision and fled to the United States, where Shin later worked on a remake. Pulgasari eventually debuted on VHS in Japan on January 21, 1995, and had its official premiere in Tokyo on July 4, 1998, to commercial success. Critical reception in Japan was positive, with many favorable comparisons to Godzilla (1998). It has since become the most-widely-seen North Korean film internationally and a cult classic.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:12 UTC on Thursday, 13 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Pulgasari on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Kajal.

Join Greg Alba, Aaron Alexander, and John Humphrey as they dive into the 2004 cult classic that redefined political satire—Team America: World Police.

Team America follows an elite, over-the-top task force of marionette operatives as they confront the world's most dangerous threats. The film features unforgettable moments like the explosive “America, F**k Yeah!” the country elegy "Freedom Isn't Free," the "Montage" song, & Kim Jong Il's showstopping "I'm So Ronery" along with the host of outrageous action sequences that blend crude comedy with sharp social commentary. The film also parodies famous actors and iconic Hollywood personas—taking playful jabs at stars such as Alec Baldwin, Michael Moore, Matt Damon, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, George Clooney, Danny Glover, Ethan Hawke, Helen Hunt, Samuel L Jackson, Liv Tyler, Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, Ben Affleck, Julianne Moore, and others—adding an extra layer of hilarity and cultural critique.

Her er hans far, Kim Il Sung, nemlig i gang med at networke sig til at blive udnævnt som den første leder af Nordkorea - et lille, nyt og meget fattigt land, som Kim Il Sung ikke desto mindre har tænkt sig at kaste ud i en altødelæggende krig nærmest lige med det samme Manus: Oskar Bundgaard.

Almost a quarter century ago, South Korean President Kim Dae-jung traveled to Pyongyang to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Il for the first-ever inter-Korean summit, a watershed moment in ties between the longtime adversaries. Months later, Kim Dae-jung received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to promote reconciliation with the DPRK and for his work for democracy and human rights in the ROK. But in the years that followed, it was revealed that Seoul had sent hundreds of millions of dollars in secret payments to North Korea, ostensibly to convince Pyongyang to agree to the summit, and a new book argues that the real total may have been as high as $3 billion. This week, veteran journalist Donald Kirk joins the podcast to discuss his book about how Kim Dae-jung arranged the secret payments and may have financed North Korea's nuclear program in the process. He talks about the South Korean activist's ambition to win the Nobel Peace Prize and how the payments were routed through the company Hyundai Asan. Kirk also touches on what he learned from his many reporting trips to the DPRK over the years, and shares his thoughts on the recent U.S. charges against North Korea expert Sue Mi Terry. Donald Kirk is a journalist who has reported on the Koreas for decades and the author of several books about Asian affairs. His latest book is “Kim Dae-jung and the Quest for the Nobel: How the President of South Korea Bought the Peace Prize and Financed Kim Jong-il's Nuclear Program.” About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

Mối quan hệ giữa Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên được thúc đẩy mạnh mẽ trong giai đoạn cuối năm 2018 đến đầu 2019 với đỉnh điểm là chuyến công du Hà Nội của lãnh đạo Kim Jong Un và họp thượng đỉnh với tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump. Việt Nam thường xuyên được nhắc đến như một điển mẫu về mở cửa để Bình Nhưỡng có thể hướng theo. Tuy nhiên, trên phương diện quân sự và công nghiệp quốc phòng, Bắc Triều Tiên bỏ xa Việt Nam. Năm 2023, Hà Nội không nhập khẩu vũ khí dù có ngân sách mua sắm hàng năm khoảng 1 tỉ đô la. Nga, nguồn cung lớn nhất của Việt Nam, đang vướng vào chiến tranh Ukraina và bị cấm vận. Israel, một nhà cung cấp khác, dù không bán thiết bị quân sự cho Việt Nam trong những năm gần đây, cũng đang phải tập trung khí tài đối phó với lực lượng Hamas ở dải Gaza. Dù thực hiện chính sách đa dạng hóa nguồn cung vũ khí nhưng dường như Việt Nam gặp trở ngại trong đàm phán với các đối tác mới. Trong khi đó, ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng nội địa mới chỉ sản xuất được những loại vũ khí cơ bản, chưa đủ trình độ để sản xuất các loại khí tài cần công nghệ lõi.Những thành tựu vượt bậc về quân sự và công nghiệp quốc phòng của Bắc Triều Tiên liệu có phải là một mô hình để Việt Nam theo đuổi ? Bình Nhưỡng sẵn sàng hy sinh kinh tế để củng cố quốc phòng. Trong khi Việt Nam không có chủ trương như vậy. Trên đây là một trong số những nhận định của nghiên cứu sinh Nguyễn Thế Phương, chuyên về an ninh hàng hải, Đại Học New South Wales, Úc, khi trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt.RFI : Việt Nam từ lâu được đề cập là nước hỗ trợ lương thực cho Bắc Triều Tiên, nhưng về mặt quốc phòng và công nghiệp quân sự, Bắc Triều Tiên dường như là mô hình để Việt Nam học hỏi ?Nguyễn Thế Phương : Nhận định này có mặt đúng nhưng có mặt không đúng lắm, theo quan điểm cá nhân của tôi. Quan hệ Việt Nam - Bắc Triều Tiên sẽ phải xuất phát từ nhu cầu của cả hai bên : Việt Nam cần gì ? Và Bắc Triều Tiên cần gì ? Thực tế mà nói, mối quan hệ Việt Nam - Bắc Triều Tiên không thực sự suôn sẻ như những gì báo chí đưa ra, từ lịch sử cho tới nay, có nhiều khúc mắc và khúc khuỷu lắm. Đặc biệt khi mà Bắc Triều Tiên có một thể chế tương đối là toàn trị hơn Việt Nam.Điểm thứ hai, mô hình công nghiệp quốc phòng của Bắc Triều Tiên đáng học hỏi nhưng phải xem là cái mô hình đó được xây dựng dựa trên sự đánh đổi nào. Ở đây, Bắc Triều Tiên đánh đổi kinh tế với quốc phòng, hy sinh toàn bộ thiết chế chính trị của họ và tập trung mọi nguồn lực vào quốc phòng. Và rõ ràng sự đánh đổi ở đây, mọi người đều biết là thực trạng kinh tế Bắc Triều Tiên như thế nào. Và Việt Nam rõ ràng không thể áp dụng một cách máy móc tư duy dồn toàn bộ nguồn lực quốc gia vào quốc phòng được. Rõ ràng là khi dồn toàn bộ tiền cho quốc phòng thì chắc chắn sẽ phải đạt được một cái thành tựu nào đó, không đạt được thành tựu thì mới là có vấn đề.Nhưng mô hình Việt Nam không phải như vậy. Việt Nam không phải là một mô hình toàn trị và coi quốc phòng như là một nền tảng để quản lý quốc gia. Còn Bắc Triều Tiên, vì lịch sử, vì vấn đề địa lý, tư duy, chính trị quốc tế nên họ đã lựa chọn đặt quân đội trên hết. Và chính sách « tiên quân » có từ thời Kim Chính Nhật (Kim Jong Il) cho tới bây giờ là « song tiến » của Kim Jong Un, tức là vừa kinh tế vừa quốc phòng nhưng thực ra quốc phòng vẫn nổi trội hơn.Mỗi một mô hình có điểm mạnh và điểm yếu và có vấn đề là họ hy sinh cái gì để họ đạt được mục đích. Việt Nam hiện nay không thể đi theo mô hình như vậy được, mà mô hình của Việt Nam là độc nhất, chỉ phù hợp với đặc trưng kinh tế, xã hội chính trị và quan hệ quốc tế của Việt Nam ở thời điểm hiện tại khi mà nguồn lực của Việt Nam phải được dành cho phát triển kinh tế và phát triển xã hội chứ không chỉ dành hoàn toàn cho cái gọi là « phát triển quốc phòng » được.Nhưng nói như thế không phải là Việt Nam không có những học hỏi nhất định. Việt Nam vẫn sẽ có một số học hỏi nhất định về trao đổi đoàn, về mô hình công nghiệp quốc phòng của Bắc Triều Tiên. Nhưng thực tế mà nói, bởi vì mô hình khác nhau, ưu tiên khác nhau, nên theo cá nhân tôi, thì sự học hỏi đó không cao. Bởi mô hình của Việt Nam hiện tại, đặc biệt là công nghiệp quốc phòng, Việt Nam học hỏi từ hai nước là chủ yếu : Trung Quốc và Nga. Đó là các mô hình lưỡng dụng, theo kiểu tư nhân tham gia vô mô hình đó và toàn bộ « tổ hợp công nghiệp quốc phòng » được đặt trong một mô hình kinh tế thị trường. Bắc Triều Tiên không có nền kinh tế thị trường đó.Cho nên từ Bắc Triều Tiên có thể học hỏi việc họ phát triển cụ thể ở một số loại vũ khí, khí tài, ví dụ như là quá trình họ phát triển tàu ngầm. Việt Nam hiện nay đang cố gắng xây dựng một hạm đội tàu ngầm từ lớn tới nhỏ, trong đó mô hình xây dựng tàu ngầm mini là mô hình của Bắc Triều Tiên hoặc là một số kỹ thuật hoặc là một số loại vũ khí, ví dụ các loại tên lửa mang tính chiến lược thì Việt Nam cũng kế thừa được kinh nghiệm phát triển tên lửa của Bắc Triều Tiên, tất nhiên là từ rất lâu rồi, bây giờ thì không có chuyện đó bởi vì có liên quan đến cấm vận. Nhưng rõ ràng là sẽ có thể học hỏi, nhưng cái sự học hỏi đó nói chỉ mang tính cục bộ và hạn chế rất nhiều bởi vì về mặt thiết kế mô hình kinh tế chính trị, mô hình quản trị quốc gia thì Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên hoàn toàn khác nhau.RFI : Vũ khí hệ Nga chiếm khoảng 80% trong kho vũ khí Việt Nam. Năm 2023, Việt Nam không mua được linh kiện hoặc vũ khí từ Nga do Matxcơva bị cấm vận. Từ cuối năm ngoái, Bình Nhưỡng và Nga thắt chặt quan hệ, đặc biệt trong lĩnh vực quốc phòng. Bắc Triều Tiên được cho là sản xuất vũ khí cho Nga và dường như được Nga chuyển giao công nghệ. Liệu Bắc Triều Tiên, dù vẫn bị cấm vận, có trở thành một kênh trung gian cho Việt Nam tiếp cận công nghệ vũ khí của Nga ?Nguyễn Thế Phương : Điều này ở thời điểm hiện tại là khó có khả năng xảy ra bởi vì liên quan rất nhiều đến việc cả Nga và Bắc Triều Tiên bị cấm vận. Do đó việc Việt Nam có một mối quan hệ nào đó với Bắc Triều Tiên và với Nga có liên quan đến vũ khí là vấn đề hết sức nhạy cảm và sẽ tác động đến uy tín quốc tế của Việt Nam, đặc biệt là ở Liên Hiệp Quốc. Cho nên khả năng Việt Nam tiếp cận vũ khí hay linh kiện vũ khí của Nga thông qua Bắc Triều Tiên là khá thấp. Đó là lý do thứ nhất, liên quan đến uy tín quốc tế, tới cấm vận.Lý do thứ hai là không nhất thiết phải thông qua Nga mới có các linh kiện của Nga. Bởi vì hiện nay, Việt Nam có mối quan hệ an ninh quốc phòng khá tốt đẹp với những quốc gia cũng sử dụng linh kiện của Nga và Việt Nam hoàn toàn có thể mua lại những linh kiện thông qua các quốc gia đó. Ví dụ Ấn Độ là một trong những quốc gia có ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng cũng như quân đội sử dụng vũ khí của cả hai hệ : Nga và Liên Xô trước đây và của cả phương Tây và Mỹ. Do đó, với quy mô quân đội hơn 1 triệu người thì vũ khí cũng như phụ tùng linh kiện vũ khí của Nga trong kho của quân đội Ấn Độ không phải là thiếu. Và ngoài Ấn Độ còn có các quốc gia Đông Âu.Tiếp theo, Nga cũng đã chuyển giao giấy phép một số loại kinh kiện phụ tùng cho Ấn Độ, có nghĩa là cùng một loại linh kiện phụ tùng đó, thay vì Nga sản xuất thì Ấn Độ sản xuất. Việt Nam hoàn toàn có thể mua trực tiếp từ Ấn Độ, chuyển giao giấy phép sản xuất vũ khí hoặc phụ tùng cho các nước khác. Không chỉ có Ấn Độ mà còn có Ai Cập, Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ và một số nước mà nền công nghiệp quốc phòng phụ thuộc rất lớn vào năng lực quốc phòng của Nga.Cho nên, xét tới những khả năng như vậy, có thể thấy việc Việt Nam thông qua Bắc Triều Tiên để tiếp cận vũ khí hoặc linh kiện sản xuất từ Nga tạo ra rủi ro nhiều hơn lợi ích. Rủi ro lớn nhất vẫn là rủi ro bị ảnh hưởng bởi cấm vận, bị ảnh hưởng về việc uy tín quốc tế của Việt Nam bị giảm sút. Nhưng quan trọng hơn nữa là cấm vận. Vì rủi ro khá là cao nên khả năng đó khá là thấp. Mặc dù đã có thảo luận nội bộ về vấn đề này nhưng khả năng đó khó xảy ra và hầu như không xảy ra ở thời điểm hiện tại. Và khả năng làm việc trực tiếp với Nga đã nổi lên từ cuối năm ngoái (2023). Việt Nam không cần thông qua Bắc Triều Tiên để là việc với Nga mà Việt Nam sẽ làm việc trực tiếp với Nga.RFI : Trong thời gian gần đây, Bình Nhưỡng đạt nhiều tiến bộ hơn về công nghệ tên lửa đạn đạo, như chúng ta thấy qua những vụ thử gần đây và được cho là nhờ Nga giúp đỡ. Liệu thông qua Bắc Triều Tiên, Việt Nam có thể tiếp cận được những công nghệ tiên tiến đó không, theo mô hình trao đổi hợp tác đôi bên cùng có lợi ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : Về mặt lý thuyết, đi đường vòng như vậy là có thể nhưng về mặt thực tế thì tốn cả thời gian, công sức và tiền bạc. Nhanh nhất, hiệu quả nhất, đỡ tốn thời gian nhất vẫn là Việt Nam làm việc trực tiếp với Nga bởi vì hai nước là đối tác chiến lược toàn diện, có mối quan hệ an ninh quốc phòng mật thiết và truyền thống. Hiện nay công nghệ mà Việt Nam quan tâm nhất của Nga là công nghệ hạt nhân, thì Việt Nam làm việc trực tiếp với Nga, không cần thông qua ai. Nên xét về lợi ích giá trị mang lại và mất đi, quan điểm riêng của tôi vẫn là làm trực tiếp với Nga sẽ nhanh hơn và đỡ tốn hơn là đi vòng.Thứ hai, quan hệ song phương hiện nay giữa Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên không được tốt như trước đây. Phải khẳng định như vậy ! Quan hệ chỉ ở mức ngoại giao, tạm gọi là « thân thiết » về mặt ý thức hệ, cũng như là việc Việt Nam làm trung gian trong một số vấn đề chính trị, ví dụ giữa Bắc Triều Tiên và Hàn Quốc hoặc là giữa Nhật Bản và Bắc Triều Tiên hoặc Mỹ và Bắc Triều Tiên. Còn về mặt thực chất, hầu như mối quan hệ giữa Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên không tiến triển gì nhiều trong mấy thập niên trở lại đây. Cho nên khả năng thông qua bắc Triều Tiên để tiếp cận công nghệ, về mặt lý thuyết, là có, nhưng rất khó xảy ra. Với tình hình hiện tại, với mối quan hệ Việt-Triều, với mối quan hệ Việt-Nga hiện tại thì việc đó khó xảy ra.RFI Tiếng Việt xin chân thành cảm ơn nghiên cứu sinh Nguyễn Thế Phương, chuyên về an ninh hàng hải, Đại Học New South Wales, Úc.

AMERICA! F**K YEAH! That's right! Team America! The RSA gang wraps up their Trey Parker and Matt Stone feature films. They wrap it up with the most American of all films, not to mention the only film in cinematic history to be made with puppetry! A satire of action film archetypes, American militarism, and the global implications of the politics of the United States, the film follows the titular paramilitary police force, who recruit a Broadway actor to assist in saving the world from Kim Jong Il and his conspiracy of Islamic terrorists and liberal Hollywood actors. Team America: World Police intertwines puppetry and miniature effects in a manner similar to Supermarionation, known for its use in the television series Thunderbirds, although Stone and Parker were not fans of that show. The duo worked on the script with former South Park writer Brady for nearly two years. The film had a troubled production, with various technical problems regarding the puppets and the scheduling extremes of finishing in time for its theatrical release. It also came into routine conflict with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), which returned the film multiple times with an NC-17 rating due to an explicit sex scene involving puppets. Team America: World Police premiered at the Denver Film Festival on October 14, 2004, and was theatrically released in the United States the following day. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was a modest success at the box office, grossing over $51 million worldwide on a $32 million budget.

Eunhee was an A list actress and had always had star treatment but this was a whole new level. She had a guarded mansion and millions of dollars at her disposal. Every evening, platters of shrimp, lobster, sushi, delicacies shipped in from all over the world filled an entire banquet table. It was all just for her. Every morning, a new gift was delivered for her downstairs, a fur coat, lacy lingerie, or beautiful gowns. She added them to the closet in ‘her' bedroom already stuffed to the brim. Every single piece was perfectly tailored to fit her body; her exact measurements all the way down to her undergarments. She had guards watching her every move and tending to her every need. The one condition was that - she couldn't leave… unless he called. A week into her stay - her assistant burst in through the door excited to get her ready. He had invited her to a party and she needed to look perfect. She got all dolled up and was led down to the front where she was face to face with the man who kidnapped her. The Supreme Leader of North Korea. Kim Jong Il.

North Korea has a homepage! And like most North Korean media, it is both interesting and odd. Sug and Dan page through this website so you don't have to (actually, between this recording and the release of this podcast, the website has been shut down). The website is chock full of the typical praise of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, and Kim Jong Un that one would expect out of North Korea. But there's more, much more. There is news of dog breeding festivals, celebrations, and yes, a message board where people from all over the world can talk about how awesome North Korea is. But, as with many of their discussions,  Sug, Dan, and Jay have to ask, "is this real?" It's hard to tell. ---LINKSUriminzokkiri on the Wayback Machine---Got any questions or comments?

How much do you know about what goes on in North Korea? Probably not much. Perhaps you think that a lot of what is said is just negative propaganda by anti-communists. But what if I told you that a Venezuelan communist was imprisoned there and got to see how horrible the prisoner treatment was up close?Now, you must be wondering... what was a Venezuelan poet doing working in North Korea? Today's story is precisely about this man and what led him there. Ali Lameda was a passionate dreamer, who believed that the world needed more of what East Germany, Romania and North Korea (among other nations) had implemented at the time. The message of Karl Marx was like music to his ears. So he decided to contribute to Kim Jong Il's cause.But he didn't expect that a slight, small criticism of what Kim's government was doing in terms of propaganda would cause him... a world of pain, both literal and even spiritual, as the North Koreans attempted to destroy the man over decades.  Does it sound horrific? Probably - but it might just have a happier ending than you think.

Did you know North Korea had a booming film industry? Yes, the second Great Leader, Kim Jong Il, was a huge film buff. He had his own vast library of films, he produced many films and yes, he even kidnapped a famous South Korean director Shin Sang Ok to make North Korean movies. Pulgasari was the work of Kim as the executive producer and Shin as director.  Pulgasari is a kaiju film (like "Godzilla") set in ancient Korea. Dan and Sug explain the movie in detail (spoiler alert) and break it down for you so that you don't have to see it yourself. North Korea is a fascinating place, watching this movie gave our hosts an inside look into the Hermit Kingdom. ---LINKSPulgasari full movieDan's full, epic review of PulgasariSupport the show

Ayer se produjo una de las reuniones en la cumbre más importantes del año, también una de las más inesperadas porque no se supo de ella hasta poco antes de que se produjese: la de Vladimir Putin y Kim Jong Un. El presidente de Rusia y el líder supremo de Corea del Norte se citaron en el cosmódromo de Vostochny, en la Siberia oriental, a no mucha distancia de la costa rusa del océano Pacífico. Esta es la primera vez que el norcoreano sale del país en los últimos cuatro años. Lo ha hecho a bordo del tren blindado en el que solía desplazarse su padre Kim Jong Il ya que tenía pánico a los aviones. La última vez que se vieron fue en 2019, antes de la pandemia, y también lo hicieron en Rusia, en la ciudad de Vladivostok, pero desde entonces muchas cosas han cambiado. En 2019 Rusia no se había convertido aún en el Estado más sancionado del mundo, tomando de este modo el relevo a Corea del Norte, una minúscula república popular que vive prácticamente aislada del resto del mundo desde hace más de setenta años. La reunión se hizo a instancias de Putin, que necesita desesperadamente aliados año y medio después de haber invadido Ucrania. Corea del Norte era el paria internacional por excelencia, un socio idóneo ya que ambos se apoyan mutuamente en los organismos internacionales. Corea del Norte apoyó la invasión de Ucrania desde el primer momento y fue también uno de los primeros Estados en reconocer la anexión de las repúblicas del Donbás unas horas antes de que la invasión diese comienzo. La cumbre del cosmódromo de Vostochny es la culminación de varios meses de negociaciones. Hace dos meses Sergei Shoigu, el ministro de Defensa ruso, estuvo en Pionyang de visita acercando posturas ente ambos Gobiernos que, según están las cosas, se necesitan el uno al otro. El Kremlin busca en Corea del Norte, aparte de apoyo diplomático (ese ya lo tiene), misiles y artillería de la época soviética que empiezan a escasear en el arsenal ruso. Los norcoreanos, por su parte, necesitan ayuda humanitaria, combustible y tecnología avanzada para su flota de submarinos, para sus satélites de observación y, sobre todo, para su programa nuclear, algo que no pueden desarrollar dentro del país. El acercamiento entre ambos líderes supone, por lo tanto, un matrimonio de conveniencia más que una muestra de apertura diplomática por parte de Rusia. Nadie se toma en serio a Kim Jong-Un, un tirano dinástico sostenido por China que gobierna sobre uno de los países más pobres del mundo y el menos libre de todos ellos. Pero la guerra en Ucrania ha dejado a Putin en una posición muy comprometida. Eso le ha empujado a tener que entenderse con Gobiernos como el iraní o el norcoreano con los que comparte destino, visión del mundo y desafíos similares: sanciones internacionales, economías debilitadas y un Occidente rearmado y poco predispuesto a mirar hacia otro lado. De la cumbre seguramente salga un acuerdo de intercambio de armas y municiones a cambio de apoyo tecnológico. Poco más se puede esperar ya que no es mucho lo que se pueden ofrecer mutuamente. Corea del Norte es un país muy pequeño y extremadamente pobre. Rusia no es ni pequeña ni pobre, pero su Gobierno se ha metido en demasiados gastos y demasiados problemas. El resto será espectáculo diplomático dirigido a alimentar la propaganda oficial de ambos regímenes.

This podcast dives into the ideology of Juche, a cornerstone of North Korean politics. Developed by Kim Il Sung, Juche emphasizes self-reliance and independence, and has been studied by groups such as the Black Panther Party in the United States. We explore the influence of Juche, its religious characteristics, and its evolution since the death of Kim Jong Il in 2011. source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche

In June 2000, a historic meeting took place between South Korean president Kim Dae-jung and North Korea's leader Kim Jong Il. This was the first inter-Korean summit since the Korean War, almost 50 years earlier. Professor Chung-in Moon from South Korea was a special delegate at the summit. He told Gill Kearsley about his experience in North Korea. (Photo: North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and South Korean President Kim Dae-jung. Credit: Newsmakers)

Mount Paektu, the highest mountain on the Korean Peninsula, holds a special place in North Korea. Not only did Kim Il Sung — the country's first leader — based his anti-Japanese guerrilla campaign there, Kim Jong Il — his son and the country's second leader — was born on the mountain, according to the DPRK's dubious official history. Mount Paektu is also considered the birthplace of Dangun, the mythical founder of Korea's first kingdom. Amid the inter-Korean rapprochement of 2018, North and South Korean leaders Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae-in famously held hands and took photos atop the mountain. It's also an active volcano. Just over 1,000 years ago, Mount Paektu erupted on a scale that ranks among the largest in recorded human history. James Hammond of Birkbeck, University of London is the director of the Mount Paektu Research Centre. Hammond joins the NK News Podcast to talk about his interest in the mountain, collaboration with North Korean scientists, how sanctions affect what research equipment you can bring into the DPRK and much more.

In the 2016 article “The Case For American Secession”, Michael Malice argued for a dissolution of the United States, which he says “has spent very few years truly unified”. The idea of a “National Divorce” has only gained more prominence with recent statements by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who suggests dividing the country into Republican “red” states and Democratic “blue” states. But breaking apart the USA would be unconstitutional. Would splitting the USA across ideological lines help or harm the future of the country?

In the early 2000s, no one outside North Korea was quite sure about the extent of the country's nuclear program, whether it had plutonium for an atomic bomb and if then-leader Kim Jong Il was willing to risk a nuclear test. That changed in 2004, when North Korea invited Siegfried Hecker, longtime chief of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, to tour its Yongbyon Nuclear Research Center. Hecker found a nascent but highly advanced nuclear program, driven by talented scientists who acutely understood the technological processes behind plutonium reprocessing. This week, Hecker joins the NK News podcast to talk about his visits to Yongbyon and his new book exploring the DPRK's nuclear program. He explains why North Korea might prefer plutonium bombs to uranium ones, how many bombs the DPRK likely possesses and why he believes the deal put on the table at the U.S.-DPRK summit in Hanoi was the best chance to stop North Korea's nuclear program in decades. Dr. Siegfried Hecker (@SiegfriedHecker) was the fifth director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the premier U.S. nuclear research facility. He is also a senior fellow and professor emeritus at Stanford University. His new book “Hinge Points: An Inside Look at North Korea's Nuclear Program” is now available.
