[Joseph Kim @JosephKimNK]

Can’t agree more. She’s certainly a hero for me!

On Thursday, the North Korean government launched another missile test. To most of the world, this is North Korea- a hopeless place defined by dictators & nuclear weapons. We have & always will see North Korea for its people- dynamic, creative, & resilient #peopleoverpolitics

OP-ED:" Workers in the Soviet Union used to joke: 'They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work,'” writes @andreilankov. "North Koreans will probably be grumbling the same thing if Kim Jong Un reverts back to his grandfather’s system."

[NK NEWS @nknewsorg]

NEW: North Korea will welcome the emerging Cold War between the U.S. and China, using the situation to its advantage.

"The chances of cooperation between China and the U.S. on DPRK nukes are virtually zero for the foreseeable future," writes @andreilankov
