'It's America's fault': the view on Brexit from North Korea

It took nearly two weeks, but North Korea has finally released its official opinion on Brexit – and it’s all America’s fault.

An editorial published in the state newspaper Rodong Sinmun concluded that 52% of British voters opted to leave the European Union because it had lost its “original spirit”.

The article, titled “European Union confused”, argued the EU was meant to counterbalance the “US’s imperialist monolithic system” but had lost its way, and had started supporting America in its “reckless” foreign policy pursuits instead.

The secretive state is well known for its verbose attacks on its enemies, but North Korea watchers will not be surprised that once again the blame falls at Washington’s door.

We can all rest easy now that Kim has figured out what caused Brexit.

1. Sounds like Soviet commentary about U.S. elections during the Cold War.

"America voted in Ronald Reagan to oppose the anti-Soviet policies of Jimmy Carter."
...or something like that after every election.

2. Sounds legit

I look forward to hearing this demented opinion repeated as gospel truth on Fox any day now.
