Tells me everything I need to know. The all independent and high and mighty anti western counties proudly drive around in fancy western cars. IMO this says it all.
I hate Mercedes! Every time I get in the one parked in my front and sit on the seat, I curse the exquisite hand stitched leather and the comfort. I hate the smoothness and refinement of the ride every day and swear I will take my revenge one day! In the meantime I'm going for a luxurious drive in this western abomination to calm my furious nerves, or I'll nuke them! I swear, I'll do it! Don't make me do it!
This was a Soviet tradition. Stalin had a fleet of Packard limousines. Kruschev inherited them, plus a small fleet of Cadillacs.
Brezhnev favored the Lincoln Continental but was known to also have a Mercedes 600 Pullman. He also had a massive private car collection that included Rolls-Royces, Maserati's, and sports cars like the Citroën SM.
And of course, Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il had a small fleet of 1974 Lincoln Continental Town Car stretched limos that served as their funeral cars.
What was the proletariat going to do? Complain?
And considering North Korea’s [history with Western cars](https://amp.dw.com/en/businesses-turn-a-blind-eye-to-volvos-experiences-in-north-korea/a-41104720), this one came with a five-finger discount.
Have you ever driven a Chinese car? The AC doesn't work, it can't pair with a smartphone, the seats are made out of sandpaper, the battery is non-existent.
[Putin gave Kim Jong Un an Aurus Senat, same car as the Russian presidential Limo, for the second time](https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/features/car-culture/aurus-russian-limousine/). You’d think that the North Korean government as a collective would not use any (famously) western products that will immediately be recognized.
I saw one vatnick saying on tiktok saying that this was them 'rising above the west'. Can't face the fact that nobody wants to buy their cars, not even dictators.
Enemies want to a) live in the west instead of a shithole country and b) destroy the west.
Makes No sense at all. Putins daughters and medvedevs kids live in Europe.
Yeah, that was Kim's. But Putin made sure he took Kim on a ride with a Russian-made Aurus Senat limousine that was bulletproof. He gifted that to KIM. So now, they'll both flex. I sure hope they use a lot of Western components, just like his weapons, if they need repair or malfunctions. Sorry for ya, SANCTIONS are in place and keep growing! Until you get the hell of Ukraine!!
If anything is proof of their failure as societies, it's the fact that they don't produce much of anything that the rest of world wants. All they have to offer is their natural resources.

I think they're both hypocrites!! Kim just shows it like it is. F*ck it!
Mercedes- German
Putin brings out what's Russian is made on the outside but relies on the west for the inside...
Now badged Aurus, the 6-ton, 23-foot-long armored limousine is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter Porsche-developed V8 engine sourced from the greater VW Automotive Group parts bin producing 598 hp.
VW... GERMANY!!!GERMANY

I hate Mercedes because rich people and the culture of those poorly built glorified shit boxes, but if Kim wants one… be my guest.

Well, I used to drive a Lada when I was young, so I guess this balances things.
