In unrelated news, Google Maps site traffic from North Korea sees odd spike.
Kim Jong Un went on to say “President Biden and Kamala Harris were in the White House making foreign policy and I saw one of the policies and the policy looked at me.”
The policy looked at you?!
Sarah, give me superintendent Chalmers.
Thanks, Supernintendo Chalmers!

Yeah I can go on Google maps too Kim
It’s North Korea, we might be talking about Map Quest.
You are an elite spy now
Pics or it didn’t happen.
It’s there a /c/retiredgifs?
Yet another photo that proves the earth is flat
(Link to Google maps)
Cool, Google maps has that too, glad they’ve reached the year 1998!
Gmap data is dated around sensitive sites and they have to request DoD clearance to update that type of sat imagery, and even then objects can be blurred or even photoshopped by the DoD before google is allowed to post the update, and by then any intel even unedited is OBE. It makes sense that a country would want their own, up-to-date system.
I’ve photographed the White House too, but my tour didn’t include the Pentagon.
The satellite itself is not a threat but the rocket that launched it is concerning.
It would be a real shame if some random “debris” knocked it out of orbit. A real shame.
A sattelite is only as good as your ability to maintain it.
We don’t need anymore anti satellite missile demonstrations. It makes way too damn much space debris.
Knocking things around in orbit is a terrible idea that only adds to the current near crisis we have with space junk. So yes, it would be a real shame if something messed with the orbit of any satellite, one that could cost hundreds of millions in damages or even loss of life.
Ok, release a pic with better resolution than a commercial photo sat
Narrator: They didn’t because they don’t have it
Oh they can’t do that, wouldn’t want anyone else getting their top secret information they clearly got from the photos.
In other news, the rest of the world has had the same photos for decades.
It’s like they’re playing Tropico and they just reached Cold war era.
To be fair Google maps is not real time.
Neither is their satellite. They can download data only when their satellite flies over NK or one of their partners if they have partnerships at all.
suuuuurrre it did.
How does a photo of Biden having a tuggy help the DPRK?
