      There’s literally memes about the bullshit about North Korea. Stop believing the news about America’s targets, they’ll make a fool of you.

        Some North Korean stories may be exaggerated, but it’s a known fact that they use families as hostages.

      Of having hysterical bullshit invented about them? True enough. Quick, does every man in North Korea need to have Kim’s haircut or is no one allowed to have it?
