Ah, the nostalgia of watching this documentary; after, like, 15 years 😌🥹. This was the first serious documentary on North Korea, of this extent and detail, that I ever saw. Great work, in bringing back this absolute gem 💎! 👍🏻
3:30 I don’t think the International Community will allow Japan to go nuclear, though; given that they’re not even allowed to have an actual army, per se; as per one condition, in the peace treaty with the USA. 🤔
The multistage rocket at 33:58 was used by North Korea to carry out its first orbital launch attempt, involving the Kwangmyongsong-1 propaganda satellite, which did not enter orbit because of a malfunction of the third stage during the ascent to orbit. North Korea carried out two further space launches in April 2009 and April 2012 involving the Kwangmyongsong-2 and Kwangmyongsong-3 Unit 1 respectively, which also ended in failure, and it finally carried out its first successful orbital launch in December 2012 when the Kwangmyongsong-3 Unit 2 satellite was lofted into orbit by the Paektusan-2 (Unha) space rocket.
43:00 The ”Umbrella of Confederation”, where political and economic systems are kept intact, is not pragmatic, though. At least, if it involves open borders, such that people and goods can move freely, across the DMZ, à la Schengen. That’s, because 99,9% of people in the North would immediately move South, to escape the poverty, if not for any other reason, which would make the Kim-regime implode onto itself; so, obviously, North Korea doesn’t want that. Meanwhile, South Korea would have a sudden influx of 20+ million people, who have essentially nothing. They need to be provided for, supported, fed, assimilated (remember: They come from an essentially polar opposite world, and that’s all they ever knew, up to that point), given jobs, etc. The USA had similar issues with the black people, after the Civil War; and there are *_STILL_* problems with the black demographics, even today, related to this. But the effort needed, with giving 20+ million North Koreans a fresh start, is much bigger. Then, the USA would have to jump in, to help South Korea, with all of this. So, obviously, South Korea and the USA don’t want this, either. It’s just all-around pizdec, at this point. 🫤

This gave me a very good understanding of the current day Korean Peninsula based on their past.
Nice documentary video

good for north korea to defend their country from “American dictator”
