So What Else Has North Korea Been Up To This Year?

quote [ North Korea continued efforts to develop its missile and nuclear capabilities during 2014. Although the opacity of this Northeast Asian country makes any attempt to meaningfully assess the strategic potential of either North Korean program a difficult task, open source information can provide some insights into the progress it has made. Of particular importance are its advancements in nuclear infrastructure, the quantities of nuclear fuel produced, and the country?s ballistic missile program. ]

A sober summary of the general progress of North Korea's big projects for the year. It's not really a primer on the general state of North Korea in any sense and just focuses on new advancements for the year in a few key areas so maybe the info will just be a bunch of random acronyms for some.

US-Cuba relations: Global praise for normalisation of ties

You know, Obama isn't exactly what the American Left wanted, and God knows he isn't what the Right wanted. But he seems to be what America needed, and quite honestly that's pretty wonderful because it didn't have to happen.

Kind of like what we were hoping for in the UK with Tony Blair after the Thatcher years. And what a goddamn disappointment that fucker turned out to be.

US-Cuba relations: Global praise for normalisation of ties . Maybe that Peace Prize wasn't as stupid as it sounded in 2009, when Obama's only accomplishment was not being Bush.

You know, Obama isn't exactly what the American Left wanted, and God knows he isn't what the Right wanted. But he seems to be what America needed, and quite honestly that's pretty wonderful because it absolutely didn't have to happen.
