Fake weapons, photoshopped launch pics, and now a fake water park (I mean, it's really there, but you know people can't just go there and enjoy themselves the same way you could in a south Korean water park. Because dictator. Anyway...)

What's with all this? Why the fakery? Who are they trying to impress? The head honcho has (his tiny part of)the world in the palm of his hands. Why is it important for them to make sure the world knows they (don't) have a super-duper strong military? And (no) free elections? And (unusable) water parks?

He's still angry about this.

I wonder if the North Koreans fall for this stuff, or is it more for an outside audience(us)? If it is for us, then I wonder if he and his father are/were aware of how obviously fake these are to us, or if that information is kept from them?

It's to convince people like Dennis Rodman that they are a functioning state that doesnt starve its people to death when its not shooting them. That is unless Rodman is the CIA's best spy ever. In all seriousness? The whim of Kim Jong Un. To try and show the rest of the world they aren't as bat shit cray-cray as they actually are. Who the fuck knows. They don't even have lights.
