Look like she was there with Gachinski.
I am not happy about either of them being there, though I normally enjoy any time they are seen together.
I personally don't mind that she's there. Like everyone else pretty much in the world I don't agree with NK's policies, but I think that complete isolation of the country doesn't help anything and hurts both citizens of North Korea (as it enables their government to deceive them even more easily) and to a smaller degree those outside it.
Well, that's fine to think that, but really, do you really honestly believe that the people in that ice rink were ordinary, everyday, average North Koreans? Come on. That rink would have been full of government and army officials. The poor souls working to death in the fields far from the capital probably never even heard about it, and if they did, probably could not afford it.
Yes, this event was held to honour the memory of a politician.
No. Not a politician. A dictator.
I wonder how many of you would have been okay if Liza had been invited to skate at some memorial gala for Hitler? After all, by all your estimates, he was only a politician.
