Over the weekend, reclusive North Korea held a massive military parade and numerous other mass performances to commemorate the 70th anniversary of its ruling Workers’ Party, inviting foreign media to cover the event in Pyongyang. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who oversaw the proceedings alongside high-ranking party members, made a statement that his country was ready to fight any war waged by the United States.

Dusk settles over Pyongyang, North Korea, on October 13, 2015, as the 105-story pyramid-shaped Ryugyong Hotel towers over residential apartments. The hotel has been under construction since 1987 and was intended to be a landmark and a symbol of progress and prosperity, but the economic difficulties that the country went through forced the project into repeated delays. Nearly 30 years later, it has become a major Pyongyang landmark, but has never been used as a hotel as it was intended.Wong Maye-E / AP
