how it feels to have a nuclear deterrent

Korean Costco looks pretty badass.
I wonder what they're laughing about
The photos are from August 7 2018. I was able to find the article published by DPRK by reverse image search in western media and then finding the corresponding date in archived pages. This was around a month before Trump's original meeting with Kim.
In the photos, Kim Jong Un is inspecting the Kumsanpho Fish Pickling Factory with Ri Sol Ju, his wife. It would seem that they are enjoying the many jars of pickled fish. The article says "watching samples at the goods display room, he appreciated the diversity of products" and "admiring their packing good enough to make one's mouth water".
Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un Inspects Kumsanpho Fish Pickling Factory
Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, inspected the Kumsanpho Fish Pickling Factory together with Ri Sol Ju.
Being briefed on the factory before a map showing its panoramic view, the respected Supreme Leader of the Party, state and army Kim Jong Un learned about how the factory carried out its tasks after his field guidance to it last year and about the production of food made of pickled fish there.
After being told that the factory, in touch with relevant institutions, completed more than 30 trial pickled fish products with differing salty and hot spicy levels such as pickled tiny shrimp, sand eel, anchovy and shellfish, produced hundreds of tons of pickled fish of seven varieties and carried out the final works of constructing dwelling houses for employees and other buildings and the installation of fixtures last year and this year, he said with high appreciation that it has done lots of work.
As the Kumsanpho Fish Pickling Factory is like blazing a trail in the fish pickling industry of the country, it is necessary for it to settle scientific and technological problems arising in the research and development for enhancing the taste of pickled fish goods and increasing their diversity and in the management and operation of the factory in active cooperation with relevant units, set up proper business and management strategy, actively pursue and introduce advanced technology and thus become a factory that substantially contributes to further developing the advantageous pickled fish culture of the nation and improving the people's diet, he said.
Saying that primary attention should be paid to ensuring hygienic safety and quality of products at foodstuff factories, as it has always been stressed, and to heightening awareness of them in food made of pickled fish, in particular, as pickled fish can easily allow bacteria unlike other foods, he stressed the need to make high demands on the employees to strictly adhere to the hygienic demands in productive labor, keep inside and outside environment of the production area and processes clean to be free from contamination sources and to keep the good control of raw materials, food additives and packing materials.
Watching samples at the goods display room, he appreciated the diversity of products, saying that it seems all kinds possible have been tried with even just one species and admiring their packing good enough to make one's mouth water and diverse forms. He added that one can notice how much research into pickled fish goods have been made.
He said it is necessary to put to maximum use the aquatic resources in the West Sea to produce peculiar pickled fish goods with diverse fish species and sell them to citizens in the capital and those in the west coastal area, adding that they should meet the demand, lend an ear to the people's assessment and conceive ideas for the qualitative development of goods, not just content with the production of trial goods.
Watching with a bright smile on his face the pickled fish goods that packed the storehouse, he said it is a spectacular view. He added that the heaps of pickled fish goods made him feel pride even though he worried about the productivity as it was the first fish pickling factory, and that he feels proud and worth living at the thought of contributing to the betterment of the people's diet even a bit.
He gave thanks to the officials and employees of the factory who glorified the 70th founding anniversary of the DPRK with shining labor achievements and greatly encouraged the mother Party, highly appreciating their feats.
He repeatedly asked the officials and employees of the factory to mass-produce diverse tasty and highly nutritious pickled fish goods in the spirit of devotedly serving the people and thus make the Party's noble policies of loving the people pay off in reality and make people actually benefit from them.
He was accompanied by Choe Ryong Hae, Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong, Kim Yong Su and Kim Chang Son.
Western media claimed that Kim was hoarding all of this food for himself and forcing everyone to wear formal attire in 100F (38C) temperature while he wore casual attire.

Business Insider: "Yeah it looks like they are doing fine but don't worry, they are being crushed by our sanctions and dying of starvation thankfully."
The photos of Kim beaming next to stacks of food are no doubt meant to send a signal to the world that the country is doing better than ever — whether true or not. In reality, the country's economy is still under the grip of international sanctions imposed after its nuclear and missile tests. A United Nations report last year concluded 70% of North Koreans were struggling to get enough to eat.
I thought it was the strategic nutella and coke reserve 
“Hahaha look at me I’m American!!” folds arms “I love guns and debilitating debt!” laughs “Watch out! That doctor wants to give you healthcare!” farts loudly
"omg i look like a cowboy yeeehawwww"
I'm a big fan of the relaxed dress, business fashion they have going on. There'll be like a bunch of generals in military uniforms and then some barechested guy in like a blazer with no undershirt on meeting with the supreme leader. Just living the dream.
Would make a great companion emoji for 
love to inspect the fish pickling factory with my pals
