What secrets is North Korea going to have that would be of used to russia? It would be like conducting industrial espionage against the vape store.

conducting industrial espionage against the vape store

That's something we should've been doing all along! Now there's a mist opportunity...

Maybe but he already has better European luxury cars, can’t imagine him driving a Russian car as his daily or like ever.

Would be kind of funny though seeing him stuffing his butt into a Lada.

To be fair, the Aurus is effectively a European luxury car. Made in Russia, but all of the tech was developed by German firms (Porsche and Bosch - I suspect the Russian portion of the engineering was nominal at best) and it is modern in terms of specs and equipment, if ridiculously overpriced for what it is.

Best way to deal with that is to use the car for trivial things. Have a family member with no state secrets use it to pick up coffee etc.

I wonder what the equivalent is among the North Korean elite. Cognacs, dolphin meat, and a new accordion?

And a 3 m satellite antenna to transmit data back to Russia?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

The entire roof is a fractal antenna. Hooks up to star link. The best Russian tech!

Oooo…Trump’s gonna be pissed; he’ll never beat that with a pair of shoes.

I'm convinced that Kim's haircut is purposefully so bad as a demonstration of power. He wants to show that he can look like "fuck my shit up" material and still get compliments. He goes out hoping someone would say something bad about his hair. "Say something. Say something!...Yeah, that's what I thought."

Iirc he’s trying to portray his grandpa since his grandpa was more liked than his dad was. Like he started dressing like grandpappy and started doing public speeches which is something his dad never did.

If Kim is smart he'll have it crushed.

Nah, who cares about bugs if you’re just going stick it in the museum of loot anyway.

My first though reading the headline was "is it a Lada?".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It's a Fiat

Butterball’s ass must have been so creamy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Like two great Honeybaked hams basted in butter.

Leon, that you?

It kind of looks like a stretched Chrysler 300.
