Foreword:  This was originally written on October 5, 2021. I know that I said that my previous post about China ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ and North Korea ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ตโ€™s relationship was going to be my last post for November, and I was planning on it being the last post for this November, but after I finished eating breakfast, eating Thanksgiving ๐Ÿฆƒ leftovers, and downloading more photos from DeviantART to use as wallpapers for my phone ๐Ÿ“ฑ or my laptop ๐Ÿ’ป, I figured, โ€œI can crank out one more before the month is over.โ€ Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re here today, Friday November 29, 2024.
