He's baaaacckkk!
His sister's reportedly AWOL now...Kim Jong-un has appeared in public for the first time in 20 days, North Korean state media says. KCNA news agency reports that the North Korean leader cut the ribbon at the opening of a fertiliser factory. It adds that people at the factory "broke into thunderous cheers of hurrah" when he appeared on Friday.
The reported appearance - his first since an event on state media on 12 April - comes amid global speculation over his health.
The latest reports from North Korean media could not be independently confirmed.

I have it on good authority that local human rights groups are furious that there's not enough diversity being represented in those being ended by anti-aircraft guns at close range.

It's called "Soviet cut". You need to have a certain chutzpah to pull it off.epwc wrote: Tue Jul 30, 2024 9:06 amKim's one is all wrong around the armhole, see how it pulls across his moob?

Wasn't that a joke that in the USSR; things were designed for the perfect, "Soviet Man", or "Soviet Woman", & that was why they were such fucking awful fits, or ridiculously uncomfortable ?Uncle fester wrote: Tue Jul 30, 2024 9:49 amIt's called "Soviet cut".

It's wasn't that the seats in Aeroflot were designed for hunchback dwarfs, it was that you weren't a proper Soviet man !
Your suit fit like a potato sack, not because Stevie Wonder cut it, but because you weren't a proper Soviet man !

Sure look at all the pictures of Russian commanders in the Ukraine war thread. They look like their uniforms came from some discount costume rental.

Their uniforms come with extra large pockets in the back so they can put lead in them to counter balance he enormous weight of the medals in on the frontUncle fester wrote: Tue Jul 30, 2024 10:09 pm Sure look at all the pictures of Russian commanders in the Ukraine war thread.

Disappointed that no-one has yet asked what they are looking at in that photo.

I remember watching a Youtube video that brought up the issue of contemporary Russian uniforms, either Perun or Lazerpig, and it is another instance of procurement corruption. They look like cheap knock-offs, because they actually are cheap knock-offs.Uncle fester wrote: Tue Jul 30, 2024 10:09 pm Sure look at all the pictures of Russian commanders in the Ukraine war thread.
