Amazed that it has lasted that long but what really surprised me today was learning that up until the mid 70s that the North had a higher GDP per capita than the South! Not only that in 1984 they actually sent food aid to the South – as compared to today when it is reliant on foreign food aid just to feed the population, ironically a large amount of that comes from the US.
So, not really much to celebrate today apart from the usual large parade of military manpower and hardware – oh and the strange absence of the “Dear Leader” from this event, could he be ill?
The video of the parade is worth watching, for the lack of formidable modern weaponry if no other reason.
