OK, Seriously, This Is Funny)))

And I don't mean robot mistaking a poor South Korean worker for the box of bell peppers and killing him in the process--that is a tragedy, albeit with a funny twist of Skynet going bananas or, rather, peppers. But this shit:

SEOUL, Nov 8 (Reuters) - South Korea is ramping up pest control measures and inspections to prevent a spread of bedbugs after reports of suspected infestations at some saunas and residential facilities, officials said on Wednesday. The small, flat oval insects have caused a panic in France, where reports of outbreaks on trains and in cinemas have raised worries about the impact on tourism and the Paris Olympics, which start in less than a year. Britain too has seen a jump in enquiries about the pests. In South Korea, about 30 cases of suspected infestations have been reported nationwide, including at a traditional Korean spa called "jjimjilbang" in Incheon, west of Seoul, and a college dorm in the southeastern city of Daegu, officials said. The prime minister's office on Tuesday launched a four-week campaign with inspections of public facilities and pest control measures. "Public anxiety is inevitable as reports continue to come in," Park Ku-yeon, first deputy chief of the Office for Government Policy Coordination, who heads the team in change of the campaign, told a meeting.

Note to myself: don't plan visiting France, UK or South Korea. Albeit, after surviving armies of bedbugs in marines in Sevastopol or living with naval ship cockroaches, in between periodic campaigns on disinfection, I wouldn't sweat too much about that. Let SOBs drink my blood and then die from food poisoning.

Practical Geopolitics.

It is not about "feelings", it is about doing what works for great empires. E.g. US and Russia are great empires, the US is in decline, though. South Korea is not--it is US vassal. 

SEOUL, Sept 19 (Reuters) - South Korea summoned Russia's ambassador to warn Moscow against any military cooperation with North Korea on Tuesday after last week's summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Vladimir Putin raised concerns about a possible arms deal. First Vice Foreign Minister Chang Ho-jin summoned Russia's ambassador in Seoul to urge "Russia to immediately halt any moves to expand military cooperation with North Korea and to abide by (UN) Security Council Resolutions," South Korea's foreign ministry said in a statement.

For South Korea it is not just about "military cooperation", especially considering the fact that South Korea doesn't speak in her own voice. It is about Russia giving North Korea, finally, the real, huge I may say, chance on economic development. Especially when considered in terms of massive development programs for Russian Far East. Now, about Karabakh--I will put up my latest video where substantial part of it is dedicated to the issue.  

Meanwhile, enjoy NK's docs about Kim's visit.

It is in Korean, but you gotta love the pathos of the narrator, LOL)) Well, guess what--opening of NK to the emerging huge Russian Far Eastern and Asian markets will inevitably, over time, mitigate the most rigid manifestations of Juche ideology.
