    Her story is unique because she defected from Malta.

    Last summer, I crossed paths with a fair skinned, blonde haired couple at a large tourist site near my home in nothern Ohio. As I tried to squeeze past them on the busy sidewalk, I apologized to them. The man looked down to me with a blank look on his face, then the pretty woman beside him spoke up, "Sorry. His English is not very good. We are visiting from Russia..." My eyes lit up, I smiled wide, then I turned to each of them to shake their hand, "Welcome to United States! I hope you have a wonderful time! Visit Cedar Point Amusement Park. Many exciting rides there!" They were both smiling happily and nodding their heads. I then turned to the woman and told her that I know one word in Russian. I pointed to my mouth and held up my thumb and index finger to indicate 'little bit'. I tipped my head to one side and shrugged my shoulders.... "Spa-ce-ba?" I told them. --I do not know the Russian spelling. (It means "Thank you," in Russian.) Both of their faces lit up and they smiled and nodded their heads eagerly. We parted with smiles and additional smiles. I hope they enjoyed themselfs while they were here and went home with many great memories! 🙂

    I am so happy that you were able to escape & free to live as you wish. In 1973 we became friends with a wonderful gentleman & his family after he escaped a North Korean concentration camp (his words), his stories were horrible and terrifying. His crime was being a Christian. They taught us many things about Korean culture, made us many different foods especially my favorite, Kimchi. In turn we guided them thru the complexities of US culture, English & our food and after many decades we treasure our dear friends. I keep thinking what a paradox it is in the propaganda of always saying US is bad & weak but in North Korea the US dollar is strong & you must learn English, it would seem that would give their citizens mixed messages. I wish the very best for you & your husband and hope that you always walk in sunshine & happiness.

How in the world do you keep up the brainwashing regimen with all the tiny ways the regime is getting undermined? This gives me more hope for the North Korean people. Hopefully one day they'll be able to rid themselves of the regime and live peacefully and prosperously with the rest of the world.

      How dare you question the Kims! You know the reason they do not urinate or defecate is because they work so hard and incessantly for the Korean people that they incinerate those substances from the body. Do you work that hard? Didn't think so. Besides, those DPRK missiles feature "unicorn assist" that allow for such shorter distances. Everyone knows physics is a corrupt Western concept propagated by the evil Americans.

He tried to get the American people to stop trusting in the democratic voting process. He tried dozens of times to get the result overthrown in court.
      He tried everything he could think of to try and block the peaceful transfer of power to Biden and his staff. He approached anyone and everyone in multiple States and tried to bribe or threaten the politicians there into declaring him the winner in that State. “Just find me eleven thousand and something votes.” Comes to mind. He even tried to get his vice president to stop carrying out a ceremonial tradition of transferring power.
      And when all that failed, he tried to use his followers to physically overthrow Democracy on January 6th 2021. That wasn’t just an insurrection. That was basically a coup attempt to destroy the US government and overthrow the very foundation of the US itself. If his supporters had actually captured the vice president and most of the members of Congress…
      Honestly while I don’t know exactly how things would have gone down but it would have resulted in the deaths of Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi at least and Trump would have installed himself as “President for life” either like Putin or more ideally for him, like the Kim dynasty where he would die and pass power to one of his sons. That’s what Trump wanted. He looked at North Korea and the Kims and wanted the same in the US for the Trumps.
      When actually worries me is how few Americans seem to realise how close they came to losing everything and the freedom they so love. And now in 2024, Trump is back and ready to take a second shot at overthrowing democracy and turning the US into a dictatorship.

But it was the best form of Government that exists". (Meaning that: It has a lot of faults, but there was no other way of Governing that works as well)
