Here ie something you don’t see every day. I feel privileged to have witnessed it, if even only through video – with a genuine North Korean flavour, and two concerts for the price (around 30 minutes of your time) of one. Magnificent, and entertaining, in the most cultural way. More than an emotional tear or two welled up in my eyes – especially during the Korean part. But I am just a big old softy, with a tender heart for stuff like this. Feel the quality.
I have mentioned no individuals. This goes way beyond that level, to a national cultural interchange.
A great job, by the way, on the part of the visiting Russian delegation, and the same for the Korean hosts.
The video narrative is subtitled in the usual range of languages, including English.
I thank Simplicius for featuring this event in his latest substack post (link below), and I choose to share what I consider to be his accurate and well written appraisal of this perhaps unique dual friendship of nations in this quote from that piece…
One can truly glimpse the unparalleled closeness and trust between Russia and North Korea. One can hardly think of a global example—Israel and the US is a tempting comparison, but we know it’s a one way street, the parasite colony has no real respect for American culture beyond put-ons to squeeze more donations and “aid”.
No, the bond between Russia and North Korea is forged in a real and tangible historic crucible—one of mutual resistance, and existential sovereignty, rather than parasitic global colonization. It’s a level of respect and true friendship the US and its vassals will never know: they rule only through fear and coercion, their twisted puppet rulers mistaking servility for trust and camaraderie; it is a house built with flimsy wood and no foundation.
