North Korea Officially Denounced The New James Franco Movie

Apparently Kim Jong-un is none too tickled about the new James Franco/Seth Rogen movie "The Interview," in which they play tabloid journalists who score an interview with the North Korean leader but are enlisted by the U.S. government to assassinate him upon arrival.

Well, Kim Jong-un must have a Google alert for "Kim Jong-un + hilarious comedy superstar," because his spokesperson has already released a statement about the film.

“There is a special irony in this storyline as it shows the desperation of the US government and American society,” he told The Telegraph.

So, apparently there are plans in place for when there is a collapse of the regime in the north. Dunno whether this means they expect it to happen soon.

North Korea complains to UN about film starring Rogen, Franco

North Korea has complained to the United Nations about a film starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, accusing the United States of sponsoring terrorism and committing an act of war by allowing production of a movie about a plot to kill its leader, Kim Jong Un ....

The letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon from North Korea's U.N. Ambassador Ja Song Nam ... talks about a plot that "involves insulting and assassinating the supreme leadership."

"To allow the production and distribution of such a film on the assassination of an incumbent head of a sovereign state should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as an act of war," Ja said.

Kim Jong-un dance video displeases North Korea

...North Korea has asked China to stop the spread of a video clip lampooning leader Kim Jong-un. According to a source in China on Tuesday, the North feels the clip, which shows Kim dancing and Kung-Fu fighting, "seriously compromises Kim's dignity and authority." Beijng was unable to oblige.

North Korea unveils plans for underwater hotel in new 'tourist city'

North Korean authorities have announced an ambitious development project for the east coast city of Wonsan that will include the construction of an underwater hotel, according to the state-owned media outlet The Pyongyang Times.

[...]

Leonid Petrov, a researcher at the Australian National University (ANU), mocked the contradictions between increased investment in the DPRK tourism industry at a time when North Korea has been simultaneously arresting foreign visitors.

“Underwater hotels are the most suitable form of tourist accommodation for North Korea", said Petrov. “As a foreign tourist you won’t be able to escape. You will not be able to see anything that happens outside of your hotel room or sneak a photo from your window."

“Keeping foreign guests in aquariums is a perfect Orwellian solution for isolating them from the locals while maximising cash revenue,” Petrov said.

North Korea's military is falling apart — is Kim Jong Un's regime next?

Sometime in June, a North Korean pilot taxied his supersonic fighter to the runway for a routine training flight. The pilot, one of North Korea's military elite, powered up his engines and took off with a roar from Koksan Air Base. Moments later, his plane tumbled out of the sky.

It was the second North Korean MiG-19 crash this summer, and the third in 2014. The mighty North Korean People's Army is crumbling. Is the ruling Kim dynasty next?

In the aftermath of the Korean War, North Korea built up a large military. The goal was to reunify North and South Korea — by force if necessary. The Soviet Union, happy to tie down American troops garrisoning South Korea, lavishly outfitted the North Korean military with tanks, artillery, submarines, fighters, and other military hardware.

The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, and military aid to Kim Il Sung, grandfather of current ruler Kim Jong Un, dried up to virtually nothing. The new Russian government was not interested in socialist charity and wanted cash for weapons. The North Korean Army began to feel the pinch.

Nearly 25 years later, the North Korean People's Army, Navy, and Air Force are relics of a different era. Nearly everything is obsolete. North Korean tanks and armored fighting vehicles are up to 50 years old. This summer, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was photographed onboard an old Romeo-class submarine, an antiquated design first produced in the 1950s. The North Korean Air Force is only slightly better off; its newest fighter jets are now 25 years old (most are closer to 50).

Not only is the equipment obsolete, it's becoming unusable. Late last year during naval exercises, two North Korean People's Navy patrol boats sank within days of each other, killing tens of North Korean sailors. On June 24, a helicopter exploded in midair.

One major problem: North Korean equipment is so old nobody makes spare parts anymore. For years the military has cannibalized some equipment in order to keep the rest running. The fact that three MiG-19s have crashed in the span of seven months is a strong indication that cannibalization is no longer working and entire types of equipment are overdue for a trip to the junk heap.

Kim Jong Un himself was considered responsible for the MiG crashes. Kim had allegedly pushed the military to train hard, countering U.S.-South Korean military exercises that were going on at the same time. The subsequent crashes created the opposite impression: instead of projecting strength, the North Korean military now appears very weak. Could Kim Jong Un find himself the victim of a military coup?
