Can't wait to see how the left spins this news as bad news.

Quote:Nix the nuclear warheads, cue the doves.

The North Korean government is erasing much of its anti-U.S. propaganda following dictator Kim Jong-un’s forays onto the world stage.

Gone are the posters depicting the U.S. as a “rotten, diseased, pirate nation” and promising “merciless revenge” on American forces for an imagined attack on the totalitarian country.

In their place are cheery messages touting praising the prospects for Korean reunification and the declaration Kim signed in April with South Korean President Moon Jae-in promising “lasting peace,” according to reports.

Still the most isolated country in the world, very few North Koreans have access to news and information from the outside world. So state propaganda plays a huge role in shaping their views.

Murals, banners and posters displayed throughout the capital, Pyongyang, have for decades depicted the U.S. as a brutal, imperialist aggressor hell-bent on destroying the North Korean regime. South Korea and Japan were also frequently targeted as willing allies of the U.S.

But things started to take an Orwellian turn in the run-up to Kim’s June 12 summit with President Donald Trump, with the old posters vanishing since then.

“All the anti-American posters I usually see around Kim Il-sung Square and at shops, they’ve all just gone,” Rowan Beard, a tour manager at Young Pioneer Tours, told Reuters. “In five years working in North Korea, I’ve never seen them completely disappear before.”

Infamous posters and postcards showing North Korean missiles on their way to Washington are a thing of the past. Also removed are the anti-American trinkets that used to be sold to tourists as souvenirs. In their place are items showing themes of Korean reunification.

The change extends to the country’s government-controlled media. News reports that once depicted the U.S. as hostile, and its involvement in places like Syria as proof of imperialism, are no longer critical. The Financial Times said the main newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, hasn’t featured a direct attack on Trump since March, when he agreed to meet with Kim.

I'm surprised a judge in Hawaii didnt try to put an injunction on the summit.

Unification has been the goal of the North for 60 years. Not one knows what their idea of unification looks like, though.

Unification by force is not the same thing, genius.

Funny, but sadly it is also true.

Considering the cost of integrating East Germany into West the cost the South Korean economy is going to be astronomical.

But, that isn't our consideration but theres.

While there have been plenty of positive signs over the last few months including the obvious, the summit itself, this particular story is more signficant than many may realize.

Kim could have easily left the anti-American posters in-place while negotiations continue behind the scenes and no one on the "outside world" would thought anything negative about it.

That he's obviously preparing his own people for a different narrative means to me that he believes the negotiations will be successful and that significant changes are on the way.

Do you think the Chinese would prefer a unified Korea that looks like South Korea or looks more like China?

Will Kim Jong Un be the Supreme Leader or would it be the democratically elected Moon Jae-in?
