They wouldn't be able to afford it, would they?

Good point. Qatar is beyond wealthy but North Korea repeatedly has to threaten to nuke people in order to get aid packages.

Korea has lots of big stadiums and the people there seems to like football so why couldn't they host a world cup?

I don’t think the DPRK wants to give an opportunity to basically any country in the world to plant spies. Considering the US used visits of the Atomic Energy Commission to infiltrate the DPRK in the 90s, welcoming thousands and thousands of difficult to vet corporate reps sounds like an open invitation for infiltration.

Well according to a .world poster in this thread that you and I can't see from our instance, the DPRK has slaves. But don't worry, this won't happen because a lemmy.ca user thinks that "Letting that many foreigners into North Korea would be a PR disaster for the Country."

Wtf based FIFA.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's probably not logistically viable, but as a matter of principle, there is absolutely no reason why DPRK couldn't host to world cup. It's gone to plenty of worse countries.

Are you really suggesting the DPRK is worse than Qatar? Lmao.

Only the US will kill 20 percent of a population, establish a right wing military dictatorship in the south, and paint the democratic and progressive north as an evil regime worse than an absolute monarchy.

America is hosting the world cup next so.....yeah literally at this point anything goes. The only way it could be worse is if the literal Nazi regime was back and they were hosting the world cup.

On a side note, what exactly are we censoring on that bottom photos.

Are we just censoring a bomb detonator box or are we censoring something else....
