  1. Everything we know about north Korea is told to us by our governments. We now know our governments lie to us all the time about Iraq, Iran, Israel, Libya, Syria, Russia and China to name a few well known cases so why does anyone think what they've told us about Korea is correct.

  2. The only person with that many medals or little less that deserves it, is Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov (Russian: Гео́ргий Константи́нович Жу́ков)
    If it was not for him the russians would've fallen to fascist control also his title was second only to Joseph Stalin.
