Niccolo Machiavelli at Big Peace shows us how other countries pay for their embassy operations.
Money quote(s):
"Who says the North Koreans don’t understand capitalism?"
Clearly they get capitalism.
(It's those pesky human rights that have them absolutely stumped.)
"The casino and the Embassy proper are separated by a fence, and only guests with bookings can enter. The casino has four roulette tables on the second floor, five poker and blackjack tables and around 30 slot machines, while the third floor is reserved for VIP guests.
Russia banned casinos in major cities in July 2009, sending casino operators underground and prompting them to rent buildings belonging to foreign governments in a bid to take advantage of their extraterritorial status.
Citing experts, Izvestia said there is no way North Korean diplomats were unaware that their building was being used as a casino, and it is likely that it connived as a means to earn foreign currency for the regime.”"
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
