🙄 Olympic Games organizers said they “deeply apologize” for introducing South Korea’s athletes as North Korea during the opening ceremony in Paris.

As the South Korean athletes waved their nation’s flag on a boat floating down the Seine River on Friday evening, they were announced in both French and English as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. South Korea is the Republic of Korea.

“We deeply apologize for the mistake that occurred when introducing the Korean team during the opening ceremony broadcast,” the International Olympic Committee said in a post on X in Korean.

Well the name "'Democratic' People's Republic of Korea is misleading for North Korea. Just calling them "North Korea" and "South Korea" would be less confusing.

What if countries were called what they actually are?

- Like "The Totalitarian Hermit Kingdom of North Korea", or

- "The United National Security State of America", or "The Puppet State of Israel", or "The Great Satan" and "The Little Satan"

Is Israel a puppet or is the US?

Paul Craig Roberts says the U.S. is Israel's puppet; I think he may be right:

"So where does America’s leadership class come from?

"It comes from the Jews. The Secretary of the Treasury is a Jew. The Secretary of State is a Jew. The Secretary of Homeland Security is a Jew. Finance, media, Hollywood and entertainment are in the hands of Jews. As Netanyahu told Congress yesterday, every Jew is a Zionist, a defender of Israel. And every American who is not a defender of Israel is an anti-semite. John V. Whitbeck describes the total humiliation of “Proud America” on its knees kissing Netanyahu’s feet. A totally conquered country whose obeisance is shown with 58 standing ovations. https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/07/25/american-obeisance/ "

Science and Technology Policy (2021–2022)

It's not about standing with Israel. It's about standing with God and Jesus.

America stands with Jesus and God.

Israel can choose to stand with Jesus and God . . . or not.

Regardless, American allegiance is to God and Jesus.
