“Well, I know that S. Korean churches for years have been working on contingency plans each to “adopt” different N.Korean villages and to feed and clothe them.”
I remember meeting a South Korean tourist in Russia. She had met some North Korean workers on the train from Vladivostok: “They were so friendly and shared some snacks and food with me!”
And I’m like: “Oh nice, so you were fed by North Koreans?”
And then she realized the irony and started laughing.
Despite slave-like treatment some receive, I suppose North Korean laborers have a lot of nice experiences to gain from being in Russia. It’s even free-er than China in some ways. Spiritually speaking as well.
Feeding and clothing them is a given and International leaders have already determined this in the equation......as well as upgrading their farmers equipment so they can sustain food for their people. But feeding and clothing them is just the beginning and will not address the issues of the two nations integrating.....which go far and above that.
As for being in Russia working......back breaking dirty work and the little money they earn goes to Fat Boys coffers. I see nothing positive about them taking on jobs nobody in Russia will do....except they might have a bit more food.
