Listen…if you can’t say the technical term, maybe you shouldn’t be deciding the policy. We wouldn’t want someone deciding nuclear policy who couldn’t say “nuclear” or “weapon” right?

North Korea just seems like such an interesting place that I really don’t have much desire to visit. I’ll happily read books and articles and see pictures and movies about it!
