North Korea is extremely angry at Switzerland, because the land of watches, Cuckoo clocks and chocolate refused to sell the tiny nuclear dictatorship a line of ski lifts for a much-publicised ski resort.

Here’s the BBC:

The equipment – which included chair lifts and cable cars – was for the Masik ski resort project which is currently under construction.

But the Swiss government said last week the equipment constituted luxury goods and so was subject to UN sanctions.

Shame, man. The North Korea’s Skiers’ Association (yes, that exists) and the resort itself issued a statement, saying the development of the the resort was intended to bring about “highly civilised and happy living conditions and make them enjoy all blessings.”

They added that, “Cableway equipment for the ski resort do not produce any rocket or nuclear weapon.”
