  “In my opinion Pyongyang actually looks like a nicer place to live in 1930 than it does today.”

  In before anti-Japanese flame war.

  Was the outcome of the Second World War unfortunate for North Korea?

  @Glans
  Really the unfortunate thing was Chinese “volunteer” intervention into the Korean War. Under a unified, democratic Korea, Seoul likely would have remained the cultural and economic heart, but Pyongyang would have been the industrial second city.

  Yes, 코리아, that was the greatest misfortune. Point 1 of the Glans Plan for Korea is: PRC stays out.

  Obviously the Divine, Invincible state did not make the british and american devils, the enemies of the world raise the white flag. That’s really too bad for Korea, OH WAIT.

  One Jap slogan I liked from that era was about “Greater Asian Sphere” or something that wanted White people out of Asia. Australia is still occupied by white people. They still act like they are better than Asians.

  Asians should unite and take over Australia then liberate Hawaii and give it back to its people.

  The Pacific Ocean will really be calm with American warships kept at bay.

  Greatest security threat for Asians are the U.S. and Australians.

  India and Australians surpassed South Korea as the largest importer of Arms in the world. Why would Aussies buy up so many guns? because….. they are afraid of us Asians.
