the Two Koreas


The above image of east Asia at night is worth more than a thousand words. Below the 38th parallel is the birthplace of my mother-in-law in South Korea, which is luminescent at night as the result of its highly developed economy. My father-in-law was born above that line in North Korea, which today appears to be little more than a shadow of its southern neighbor. Even if one knew nothing about history or geography, they could infer from that single satellite image that there must be a chasm in living standards on either side of the border.

как говорят в рунетах:
Северная Корея стала Кореей, а Россия осталась Северной Кореей

Это легкое преувеличение. Там, конечно, чуток народу разрешили капиталистить и вернулись к добушевского стиля переговорам, но если там не случится полноценного переворота будут они оставаться Южным Чучхе. Даже если Россия построит Северную Чучхе.
