There is also Egyptian billionaire businessman Naguib Sawiris who built North Korea's first mobile operator, and has $250 millions worth of investments in North Korea. He might be the link between Egypt, NK and Africa. The guy is too powerful to an extent that he was the only Egyptian business man to "criticize" Egyptian government and get away with it.

So as in a TLDR; they're showing off their military strength like they always have and are possibly running out of money as well as food, which has been a thing since the 90s. Don't think they've played us.

It was kind of unnecessary to withhold the answer. We would have happily listened to your theory while knowing the conclusion. It would have been easier for the viewer to analyze and discuss your thesis if you had started with the conclusion. In fact, it would have made an excellent title for this video
@junaydisbrave
I wonder what life as a North Korean rich person is like
@dontmindme8709
They are certainly doing a lot to get foreign currency, but those new fields for farming are probably not one of those things. The North Korean soils are extremely overworked and are being depleted of nutrients. They just need new farmland to prevent further food shortages

Another reason for the polders could be a place to put the tailings from their tunnel digs without much suspicion

I thought it was about their "secret" military airfield that you can clearly see on satellite and have their own ICAO designation

This basically proves the meme about WMD. US: Hey Iraq, you have WMD? Iraq: Mate, no! We don't! US: Pretty sure you have them. Here's some freedom. NK: Hey we have nuclear. US: Nah you don't have, stop lying. NK: Yes we have, try us. US: ...
@Abdullah-mn6sw
The North Korean leader isn't a good one but I have to say that one thing they know is that having nukes is an effective way to keep themselves safe. No wonder Iran wants some too.
@jordandino417
North Korea does a little trolling to the International Community
@avus-kw2f213
4:44 putting military bases under ground in a mountainous country is a no-brainer this means in a war it’s a lot harder to destroy a North Korean military base then if it was on the surface
@Alitacyan
All those things are interesting and deserve more attention. But, I'm sorry to say, your conclusions are in line with the consensus of experts. North Koreas strategy since 1991 has been all about spreading fear and covering up weaknesses. Its a paper tiger. Everything they do is for show, from the guided tourist tours to rocket launches.
@SapphFire
"North Korea has plenty of land for its population" Yeah, but a very small percentage of that is fertile. They need to reclaim land in order to get more area for farming since the already existing land isn't enough to feed the population well. It isn't really any indication of them running out of money. It's just the sensible thing to do.
@Tsirkon
7:47 the host county could kick them from the country (asking them to leave) and they have to leave, before you commit a crime and run to a random embassy keep in mind you're gonna be stuck there for your whole life because once you step out of the embassy you're gonna be arrested
@actually_zer
i am really fascinated by north korea, its such a weird place and we dont know if we know anything about it
@NepaliinGermany
8:06 slight mistake Nepal too has north Korean embassy
@99BullD
I find it so funny how other countries meddle in the business of North Korea but don't want others to meddle in their business 🤡
@RobertoCarlosM
Sanctions are followed when it suits. Even the US, they have always played both sides. Money is money, sanctions are to give the impression you're doing something, while still doing back door deals.
