While Kim Jong Un is touring the land, state-controlled media is currently working to convince everyday Russians that instead of looking to the West, they should start emulating North Korea.

What can you forbid to North Koreans? To drink Coca-Cola? They don’t have it anyway! To watch Hollywood movies? They don’t have them anyway! You’ll turn off their Internet? They don’t have it anyway! You won’t import IPhones? They don’t have them anyway! You will forbid them to travel to Europe and America? They aren’t traveling anyway! There is no way to get to them.”

Everything going ok, Russia? 😂🤣😂

    Ah yes, the way to become unaffected by Western sanctions is to emulate the country that lives in perpetual serfdom and give up all those small luxuries you’ve become accustomed to before they can be taken away. Makes perfect sense!

    I mean, with all the sanctions, I’m thinking your citizens don’t have much of a choice.

    A bowl of white rice and boiled potatoes for everyone some of you!
