    I like how, as usual, this completely ignores that most of the weapons are still US made M16s, Chinese made M16s, and then some Chinese original rifles, and then in last place NK produced weapons.

    I wish I was North Korean (Arabic poem)

    The poem is not in Classical or Modern Standard Arabic, so machine translation will struggle with it and produce incoherent text.

    Here’s a few verses of it translated to give you a feel of it and where it is heading. It is written by a Jordanian poet in the Jordanian Bedouin dialect. It is from 2003 in response to the invasion of Iraq and the Arab’s weakness and failure to stop it:

    I wish I was a North Korean

    Standing tall and head is held high

    Humiliating Bush the idiot

    Stomping his head with my sandals

    I wish I was a North Korean

    He [Kim Jong-il] did not submit or collaborate

    Or he was frightened and forced to compromise

    Or submit and cooperate

    My head is like mountains

    I wish I was North Korean

    He [Kim Jong-il] said: "I have a [nuclear] reactor for you

    Produces thousands of bombs

    And their range reaches New York

    You fool, son of a fool

    I wish I was North Korean

    I will burn you in the middle of your house

    You and those who participated in the war

    Don’t think I am [Hosni] Mubarak

    Or Saddam with my idiocy"

    I wish I was North Korean

      He’s still mad about Dennis Rodman pooping all over his weird hotel.
