North Korea was supposed to be doomed. How did it pull this off?

    I’ll believe it when this “secret constitution” is on literally ANY offical DPRK sources. It’s not on any of them. I’m not taking my information on what the DPRK’s constitution says from the US and South Korea.

    • I don’t understand why they had this whole segment about the “new secret constitution” when the striking down of reunification was all very public with the destruction of the Arch of Reunification and public speeches.

      The cessation of reunification is smart in that it pops the bubble of the ROK being able to justify its militarization (and subjugation to the US military) through the propagandized threat of the DPRK.

        I suspect it’s propaganda built around the knowledge they’ve got from spies that a rewrite of the constitution has been in the works through their structures. I bet it’s not actually finalised and active, hasn’t been voted on, is still going through various stages of revision, etc etc. This explains why it’s not on any official source, because it’s not currently the constitution.

        When it finally does get the stamp of approval the west will resoundingly go “SEE! SECRET CONSTITUTION! WE WERE RIGHT!”
