Denunciation watch
Although no sane person could regret the fall of the Eastern Bloc, it does deny us the minor pleasures of denunciations from Moscow, Warsaw, Tirana etc. However, the 'Democratic People's Republic' of Korea is keeping the flag flying, and here are some extracts from a corking communique on Japan:
"The Japanese authorities like to talk about the building of a "beautiful country." But they are becoming more vulgar and shameful in their behavior quite contrary to their motto. This is evidenced by the fact that the suppression of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and phobia about Koreans in Japan have become evermore pronounced throughout Japan since Abe's assumption of premiership....The attempt made by the Japanese authorities to block even a legal protest meeting, not content with suppressing Chongryon, only betrayed their sinister design to force the Koreans in Japan into slavery in violation of their elementary rights. This is nothing but a repetition of the gangster-like logic that Koreans should sacrifice their lives and properties for the sake of the "Great Empire of Japan" and a revelation of the brazen-faced intention to dominate other nations...History goes to prove that the more black-hearted intention a country entertained, the more glossy words it used and the fiercer the fascist junta got, the more loudly it trumpeted about "democracy" and "human rights."...It, at the same time, glaringly shows what base and wicked country Japan, which claims striving to build a "beautiful country," is."
Classic.
However, Pyongyang might be intent on ending this nonsense, as "North Korea hopes to become friends with the United States and Japan and become a responsible member of the international community, the North Korean officials said at a nuclear negotiations working group in Beijing yesterday". Source
