...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche...

's space-based defensive plan he dubbed the ''Golden Dome'' as ''dangerous'' and a threat to global stability.
The president discussed his $175 billion plan, which will use satellites and other technologies to detect and intercept a missile strike ''even if they are launched from other sides of the world,'' Trump said last week.
The defensive plan, though it is believed to be years away before being fully operational despite Trump's three-year goal mark, sparked stiff backlash from the U.S.'s top competitors, who took direct aim at what they called Trump's ''arrogance.''
North Korea's foreign ministry, whose leader shared an uncommonly cordial relationship with Trump during his first term, called it the equivalent of an ''outer space nuclear war scenario'' that supports the administration's strategy for ''uni-polar domination.''
According to local media outlets, the ministry on Tuesday said it was a ''typical product of 'America first', the height of self-righteousness, arrogance, high-handed and arbitrary practice.''
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News' Digital's questions regarding the reactions to the plan, intended to resemble Israel's ''Iron Dome'' defensive capability.
But the North Korean foreign ministry claimed the defensive strategy was actually an ''attempt to militarize outer space'' and ''preemptively attain military superiority in an all-round way.''
Similarly, on Tuesday, Russian foreign minister Maria Zakharova said the strategy would undermine the basis of strategic stability by creating a global missile defense system, reported Rooters.
