President-elect Joe Biden's foreign policy team will soon have access to the letters President Donald Trump exchanged with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un, correspondence that belongs to the US government -- not Trump -- and could provide insight into one of the world's most enigmatic leaders.
In the past decade, they've made huge strides in development. They're putting a lot into the military, but if you look at their tech, a lot of it is designed and assembled in the DPRK. Look at the 2016 and 2020 military parades and tell me there isn't something happening. They'd need massive investment in infrastructure and education to design some of those platforms.
True, I don't disagree that they are building something, I just am not sure how much of a role it will play in building socialism around the world. I think that having a nuke may give them enough security to start directing resources toward internal development though, not to mention they could work with China as they develop their own IP as well (but I know that relationship isn't always as stable as it's most people think).
Edit: just watched the parades, and damn there's definitely a contrast
Yeah, I'm not a fan of military stuff really, but it's definitely a good sign that they're capable of producing their own hardware now and not reliant on old Soviet surplus. Means that they're actually proletarianizing and moving forward.
