Kim Jongun's Masikryung Ski-Resort being Mocked by International Society

According to Reuters, Switzerland has banned the sale to North Korea of equipment for a luxury ski resort named Masikryung because North Korea is under U.N. sanctions. So Kim Jong-un got angry at the country. But that is the reality of North Korea. At any rate, North Korean leader Kim Jung-un, who studied under an assumed name in the Swiss capital Berne and is believed to have gone on school ski trips in the Alps, perhaps wants to develop leisure activities.

By the way, here is the problem.  It was also reported that Italy and Austria have imposed export ban on the ski equipment to the North, citing  The neutral country's sanctions list for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) also includes equipment for golf, horseback riding, water sports, billiards and casinos, as well as luxury watches, jewellery, caviar, perfume and artworks.

In this situation Kim Jong-un had big talks that the Masikryung ski resort would be one of the best in the world and would complete the construction of it. However, there is a big snag in his plan because of this export ban. By the way, I wonder that why he want to have that kind of big luxury ski resort in North Korea and why a nation's government and army troop is so involved in constructing a ski resort that many people and organizations are forced to be mobilized and to do labor while other country only a company can do.  The most important thing is who will use it.  According to the U.N.'s World Food Programme, almost North Korean children are stunted due to malnutrition.

For the impoverished socialist nation, skiing is regarded as a luxury sport for select people in the higher echelons, which the general public is unable to access. In fact, the admission fee is around 8000won which is nearly amount to as much money as one third of a teacher's salery in North Korea. Maybe nobody but some priveleged  high class citizens can use this ski-resort.  Korean leader Kim Jong-un spends too much money in his personal leisure and showing off.

North Korea is the main cause of Syrian Chemical Killings

According to Syria's main opposition group, more than 1,300 people have been killed in a chemical weapons attack. It's a real tragedy. Now a UN inspectors team was sent to investigate whether chemical weapons have been used in the conflict by President Bashar al Assad's forces.


By the way, it has been reported that North Korea military is involved in the Syrian civil war and has provided Syrian government with chemical weapons and technology. So to speak, North Korea allegedly played a decisive role in arming the Syrian regime with chemical weapons. There is strongly backing evidences. In November 2009, a cargo ship bound for Syria was caught at Piraeus Port in Greece carrying North Korean chemical weapons-related materials including about 20,000 pieces of protective clothing for atomic, biological and chemical warfare. An expert claimed the North has dispatched chemical weapons experts there and

coached how to use the chemical weapons since the mid-1990s. It is known that North Korea is one of three countries which possess amount of chemical weapons in the world.



Besides, North Korean Army chief Gen. Kim Kyok-sik who had worked as an assistant military attache at the North Korean Embassy in Damascus for about 10 years is one of the key figures behind the military connection between North Korea and Syria. Allegedly some dozen North Korean military officers were seen working with Syrian government troops on the northern battlefield of Halab. Perhaps North Korean military experts were likely to provide key assistance to the Assad government’s chemical weapons and nuclear weapon programs. It has long been under secret. However, by this chemical atrocities they finally revealed their long tail of covert dead operation.



What do you think of the North Korea-Syria military connection? Now international society are in a hurry trying to punish Syria. Then, should we leave North Korea undone?
