North Korea quietly marks army's founding anniversary

SEOUL, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- North Korea quietly marked the 71st anniversary of its army's founding, without a military parade or any other provocative show of force, on Friday as leader Kim Jong Un prepares to hold a second summit with U.S. President Donald Trump late this month.

the headline of the Beast's story on this is sensational "scary crazy" which has racist overtones. I wonder why the tweet left off "Pyongyang Petri Dish" printed in red at the top of the story.
