Simply extraordinary: North Korea’s main newspaper today features color photos of Kim Jong Un walking around Singapore, a breathtaking, modern city with an electricity supply that North Koreans can only dream about. Plus crowds taking photos of the “Respected Leader” pic.twitter.com/ejtCuw8sdv

Quite apart from the photos themselves, I can’t believe North Korea reported this so quickly. Usually the regime takes days to report news. Here, they took only hours, even though they had to get the photos/report from Singapore. KJU clearly wants this message out, and fast.
