For the first time in nearly a decade, the Wall St. Journal ventured to North Korea for a tightly controlled government tour of Pyongyang – featuring sculptures of atoms, children playing with toy guns, and a generally militaristic attitude among its ‘tightly controlled’ population.
“During a recent visit, the first by The Wall Street Journal since 2008, the city’s atomic aesthetics reinforced the message government officials conveyed repeatedly to the Journal reporters: North Korea won’t part with its nuclear weapons under any circumstances and is resolved to suffer economic sanctions and risk war with the U.S. to keep them.”
