chenGOD Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 a well reasoned article from Jeffrey Sachs. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/jeffrey-sachs/a-better-approach-towards_b_3083799.html Very good piece! Wondering what the anti-emperialists/iinterventionalists think about this one. Forgive me my naive misunderstanding, but it's OK for the US to act out some diplomatic play on the international podium, right? diplomacy is fine. i mean, as long as we go by the traditional kind of definition of diplomacy. dialogue and engagement that is. compson, please keep this on topic or i will remove your ability to post in this thread.

YO303 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Has anyone seen the Vice doc on North Korea (the new one with Dennis Rodman), its really good. North Korea looks beautiful in a 1984 kind of way. The computer lab scene is something out of Sci-fi, fascinating stuff.

Guest Atom Dowry Firth Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Just finished watching that Vice doc. Literally a million times better than The Interview, even if they hadn't been forced to edit out the entire second wave of head chunks. The end was really touching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kymppinetti Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 wow so there is a north korea thread. you guys should check this guys book, 'I was Kim Jong-il's Cook': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenji_Fujimoto it's pretty funny book and horrifying at some times. also this: 'A Thousand Miles to Freedom: My Escape from North Korea' by sebastien falletti. it's a story about young girl escaping north korea. really good too, it takes you in the scenes. the narrative it's quite straight lined, which i liked. also this: love that guy.
