No one has referenced the news story in the last 6 months or so stating the Norks executed a general, supposedly for illegally obtaining food to better feed his soldiers.
Maybe they should unkill that general.
Could also be that the general was opposed to Kim making overtures towards the US and South Korea.
You can go to You Tube (such as it is) and see any one number of videos, most of them shot by real people, in North Korea, with Korean minders of course, but you can see the reality of things there and even at best the Potemkin attempts at the happy workers state are a failure. It’s important to understate that in any dictatorship everything and every facet of life is a lie.
