FACT: “Ushering in a New Era of Development in External Relations”, published by DPRK’s Foreign Languages Publishing House via the Naenara website on 5-12-21, is not "propaganda". It’s a book of text & photos highlighting DPRK’s successes in IR & summitry.

2/The photographs, taken by North Korean photographers, are priceless.
3/
4/“Ushering in a New Era of Development in External Relations” is a photo album of DPRK's diplomatic progress thru Kim Jong Un in its striving to achieve its socialist goals in the community of nations. US meanwhile does all it can to choke DPRK's economy thru sanctions.

New DPRK book, “Ushering in a New Era of Development in External Relations”, highlights Kim Jong Un’s "summits w/ foreign leaders since 2018 & offer[s] a positive outlook on U.S.-DPRK relations resulting from three meetings w/ U.S. President Donald Trump”.
nknews.org/2021/05/new-no…
2/Published thru its Foreign Languages Publishing House via the Naenara website on Wednesday, the book “also praises Kim’s five summits with Chinese President Xi Jinping as well as summits with leaders from Russia, Cuba, Singapore and Vietnam.” “Kim’s summits with Moon [aren’t]
3/"in the book because the publication is explicitly about “external relations,” and the Kim-Moon summits are in the category of inter-Korean relations."

"The book included a list of all of Kim’s summits with foreign leaders since 2018, except for Moon Jae-in."

The Two Sides Of The Coin
Heads:
"Expert readiness and rock solid combined defense posture remains the single greatest deterrent for any potential aggression against the Republic of Korea." - Robert Abrams

2/Tails:
“Our weapons are meant for protecting our motherland from the permanent U.S. nuclear threat. The U.S. has to get along w/ the DPRK’s nuclear status.” - Choe Son Hui
3/“We will coerce the Americans to peace and respond to fire with fire. We have nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, but we will not use them if there is no threat."

“North Korea on Wed published a photo album showing leader Kim Jong-un's diplomatic activities...[It] carried several photos of Kim and Trump at the Singapore summit in June 2018, saying that the leaders "wrote a new history in U.S.-North Korea relations."
m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN202105…
2/Trump has huge respect (& “cred”) in DPRK, whose leadership thinks Singapore & DMZ summits, ANYTHING BUT “Photo Op”, “Reality TV” & “Theater”, were “Nixonian moments” in US-DPRK relations. KJU’s words reflect that reality. Now I’m convinced that at the DMZ summit Trump wanted
3/to repair the state of US-DPRK relations after the fallout of the Hanoi summit. Whether it was Bolton or Trump behind that “all or nothing”/“No deal is better than a bad deal” goose egg we may never know. Yet despite the US failed attempt at a deal Trump then sets foot in DPRK.

Anthony Ruggiero: “…the North Korean regime is not actually as interested in the North Korean people as these humanitarian organizations.”
WRONG. KJU is ACTUALLY doing everything he can to boost economy, grow food & build housing UNDER BRUTAL SANCTIONS.

2/Ruggiero typifies the error of erudition not based in the real world but in a fictitious construct that is real only in the subjective imagination. I.e that's "all in the mind". He's actually saying that the Workers' Party of Korea "isn't interested in the North Korean people".
3/He gets to be taken to task for what is one of the most ignorant comments I've ever heard from a supposed "expert". So KJU is "not interested" in improving DPRK's economy??

Kim Jong Un's big plan to grow North Korea's economy faces harsh reality

THE LIE:👇
nknews.org/pro/its-time-f…
“Sanctions proponents counter that if ordinary people are hurt by these policies, it’s the North Korean government’s fault. Alongside this argument is an oft-repeated refrain that “North Korea starves its people while building nuclear weapons.””
2/THE TRUTH: The US & UN hope sanctions cause economic collapse or revolt leading to regime collapse/change & a US-friendly a##-kissing gov’t that gives DPRK’s nukes to D.C. like an obedient dog rewarded w/ the bone of “subtracted Western capitalism” from its imperialist masters.
3/The DPRK is fighting for its right to survive and live by its collective socialist system (aka Juche ideology), striving towards “the complete victory of socialism in North Korea”. You survive thru building your economy and a strong military defense. Without its nuclear
