The US also has a tendency of exporting its nonsense to the rest of the world. So it's not like we're safe out here watching the clown show.

See Myanmar justifying its 2021 coup d'état by "election fraud" (wonder where they got that idea) and Bolsonaro's fanbase doing a more violent copycat version of Jan 6 in Brasil as examples.

They have quite a lot of money, particularly in foreign currency slush funds (see Room 39 for example). However the Kim family has the final say in what is government money and what never makes it onto the books.

They could probably afford a FIFA championship. It's admitting they have that kind of money, that would be a huge problem.

I know, right? Why would you willingly keep a child? Just put it away or put it down.

Ah yes.

Using the Celsius scale offset by ~273.15 must be the most galaxy brain shit I've ever seen.

My sibling in Satan, that's the backbone of the metric system. Nobody said anything about units.
