      I have to hand it to you leftie democrats, still simping for Stalin after 80 years. North and South Korea didn't become North and South Korea for any reason except that you democrats were either totally duped by Stalin or you were in cahoots with him. Not only did you democrats and the newspapers in the west blatantly lie about what was going on in the USSR after the commies took over you covered for that second biggest mass murdering in modern history by not telling people about the death and slave camps in the USSR (you covered for the Chinese also but that is another story). North Korea became North Korea because after the American military forces kicked the Japanese occupation forces out of Korea you democrats let Uncle Joe Stalin have half the country. You see, Stalin had refused to help us against the Fascist Japanese during the war. But he had a spy in the Manhattan Project so he knew about the bomb and when it was going to be used to beat Japan. He cleverly waited until two days before the drop to declare war on Japan so that he could have a say in the surrender. Then you democrats and the labour party in the UK and lefties of Charles de Gaulle in France let Stalin have North Korea, North Vietnam and all of China after the US beat Japan.

      And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;

      And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
      And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;

      And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
      And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
      And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
      And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

      So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
      Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
      Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
      But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
      And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
      Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
      Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
      Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
      And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.»

In a practical day to day sense, thenm the honchos are seen as extreme versions of a deity? With the various State enforced legal trials, it recalls some of the Inquisition, from what I've read.
