Started reading this by @Draylien, as background for #NorthKorea chapter of my book on #CCP #China "North Korea is a 'no' society. Unless something is explicitly permitted, it's best to act as if it's forbidden" amazon.co.uk/dp/1931368562/… via @AmazonUK

Love this photo. Andrei looks like a special forces commander staring down the enemy. Chad looks like his yacht is waiting for him. Looking forward to listening!

Really difficult to read the chapters on Nikolai's gambling debacle, but grateful the real Nikolai wasn't lost with the 43,000. His reunion with the extended Rostov family was a comforting remedy to the earlier growing pains #tolstoytogether

Arriving in Seoul during a pandemic is a little like arriving in Pyongyang normally. Not many flights at the airport, lots of forms, serious but helpful Koreans, feeling of nervousness like maybe you've accidentally brought in porn or a bible (North) or a deadly virus (South)...

“In Bagration’s division, nothing was known about the general course of affairs; they talked of peace, but did not believe in its possibility. They talked of battle and also did not believe in the nearness of battle.” #TolstoyTogether
