Thank China 🇨🇳 🐍, for your gift 🎁 N. Korea 😉

So they shot him

How nice of the defector. Sounds like American neonazis who advocate spreading COVID19 among Blacks, Hispanics and Jews.

so that guy is not alive anymore, right?

“Closed borders” but there are plenty of smugglers coming and going between the Chinese border to get basic necessities for families who can’t buy them otherwise. Praying for this country’s salvation from their regime 😞

Why would the person return to North Korea? I'm not buying it.

Yeah apparently he got by thousands of soldiers and didn’t set off any land mines... 😑

RIP to whoever that poor soul was

LOL, no one who escapes NK every goes back. NO ONE.

A defector went back to North Korea. Ok Kim Jun. sure they did.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Who the hell goes back?

Got to blame it on someone. Best blame it on your “enemy” TrumpsPlaybook

So many levels of propaganda...

This made me literally laugh out loud

So 1 person came back to North Korea after defecting and now seemingly has Covid19. That is your story?

The defector returned to North Korea because there are better barbershops there.

Just 1? HAHAHA. Absolute BS. I'll never believe that for a second.

Of course it came from 'outside' well It is contained by now because he prob had that person & family killed & now he can declare war on S Korea.

More like 'defected,' right?

North Korea blames Antifa and BLM See US/NK love letters

riiiiiight.

Why would anyone go BACK to N. Korea?

Sounds like they're trying to blame an existing outbreak on South Korea?
