  1. When he finds out that type mask is useless he's going to have some of his advisors sent to a work camp.

  2. I’m sure their Ministry of Truth is almost as honest as a Democrap.

  3. The lord is working,repent Kim Jong

  4. I cannot believe Kim Jong Un is admitting a problem. It is a very baffling sign of weakness and I cannot think what he hopes to gain by telling the world about this problem when he never said anything about millions dying from starvation. What on earth does he think he is doing? How on earth is he going to benefit from such candour?

  5. Mask don't work lol.

  6. North Korea has a very poor healthcare system and it’s citizens are malnourished. Look at him sitting there all fat n purty at the end of his table. He fired several ballistic missiles in the past few days. He doesn’t care what’s going on outside of his palace and underground kingdom.

  7. SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW THEY GET THESE REPORTS FROM NORTH

  8. Correct me if I’m wrong, is this his first time wearing suit and tie?

  9. IN THE U.S. COVID AND GUN VIOLENCE ARE IN A BATTLE FOR DOMANANCE AND ARE AT NECK TO NECK BUT COVID IS WINNING. GUN VIOLENCE COULD MAKE A COME BACK SOON BUT COVID IS AHEAD NOW. Who will win the DOMANANCE force in the U.S covid or gun violence you decide !

  10. I think this was recorded much earlier,recent pics I have seen of Kim he looks much thinner ?

  11. Since Kim is considered a god in NK eliminating a virus should be no problem for “his holiness.”

  12. you know theyre really in trouble now since they finally admitted they have covid.

  13. We can help our climate, something has to happen. See that ball spinning, things happen, it has its story, it says things, it reacts exactly as it will. Humans C- Well I could say, I love you america, your trying so hard to be a good person, after you genocided 250m people, enslaved ect, marking to become the worse humans who have ever existed, but it really doesnt flow correctly, being one, in america is standard. I know so much better, but im seeing it, reacting the best way someone who has been given I can? Senseless to try to walk, and find yourself traveling backwards in movement. EVERYTHING is done intentionally wrong, and because of the intentions they have committed. Like wtf? They never 'believe' before having an attempt in saying. 450 years of the most horrible, shows very well of every molecule of they're being.

  14. Looks like Kim Jong Un finally smelled the coffee.

  15. They have options. Take the SinoVac which is severely outdated and uses crap technology to make. Or beg the capitalist vac which is the superior vac.

    The SinoVac took a year to make and only works on an old strain. Our vac takes months and covers multiple strains.

    They just have to beg nicely. Capitalism > Communism vac. Get on our level already.

  16. If it took 2+ years for Covid 19 to reach NK , world need not worry nuclear missiles leaving NK.

  17. First cases huh Kim lol?

  18. When an offline player is forced to play online games be like:

  19. That's longer than Putins table

  20. First case? Right….. 😆

  21. Kim needs to call Joe Biden quickly to send him Dr. Fauci for help.

  22. 1 million death in USA

  23. Maybe the pizza dough boy will catch the virus and not make it.
