Google translator turns North Korean propaganda into humour A modified picture showing North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un sitting at a military command console with a Twitter logo overlaid. UNDERSTANDING the gulf between reality and fantasy in the current spat between the United States and North Korea is not being helped by Google translate. When internet chat board Buzzfeed took a look at Pyongyang's official mouthpiece, the result proved a source for hilarity as well as concern. The North Korean Twitter account, @uriminzok, has seen a flurry of activity in recent weeks as tensions with South Korea escalated. Many of the Google translations are unfortunate: This genus tears young people head in the sea, such as saengtte jwiyeo jjamyeo rimyeongbak concealed sin to see him in person there is no tricks, no matter no amount. Tee martial arts from the puppet traitor apology apology does not even want what the bastard, we will get rid of them all without. Punishment for those who do not live as human beings eungdanghan to make that decision is inevitable: Provocation of the hole, rolling eyeball recessed brutal jackals like a hungry jaebit Blue House doorstep perched aiming arc-optical gimgwanjin Be the military chiefs of tens of thousands of angry owners also will be letting toktokhi. North Korea has put its 'strategic' rocket units on a war footing, threatening US and South Korean targets. The hastening drumbeat of war - seemingly bringing the region to the very brink of conflict with threats and provocations - appears aimed to force Washington to the negotiating table, pressure the new president in Seoul to change policy on North Korea, and build unity inside the communist country without triggering a full-blown war. But even as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un issues midnight battle cries to his generals to ready their rockets, he and his million-man army know full well that a successful missile strike on U.S. targets would be suicide for the outnumbered, out-powered North Korean regime. And the propaganda machine - desperate to paint North Korea as a credible international power - needs to be more aware of just what its words look like. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said North Korea's "bellicose rhetoric" would only deepen its international isolation. It's not unusual to see people toting rifles in North Korea, where soldiers and checkpoints are a fixture in the heavily militarised society. With AP
