Those of a certain age will recall the 1970s’ pop band Three Dog Night, named for very cold nights in the Australian outback when aborigines would sleep with three dingoes to keep warm.
Welcome to the Two Dog South Korean Defense Minister.
North Korea’s agitprop branch is either brilliant…or crazy (the difference often is in the eye of the beholder, of course).
Check out Pyongyang’s latest, featuring a pair of North Korean German shepherds tooth-shredding South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-Jin in effigy. Later on in the clip we see NoKo troops shooting at a photo of Kim and other assorted targets.
It’s not easy to ascertain why North Korea is broadcasting such material. It must be for domestic consumption, because the notion that fierce dogs and small arms are relevant weapons of war in the 21st Century is bizarre.
Near the end, the video returns to the dog show, where they’re shown jumping through a hogshead of real fire.
“If they can put German Shepherds on ICBMs,” one YouTube viewer noted, “we are” in trouble.
Judging from this video, in North Korea it’s apparently not the dogs that are rabid.
