One of the poorest countries in the world and even their public spaces are better maintained and cleaner than America's biggest (blue) cities.

That’s because no one has anything to throw away.

Nothing but an idiot would go there. Probably safe to go to Cuba for some other place like that if you want to see a communist petri dish. But North Korea is beyond the capability of anybody to go safely. And people go there and expect US government to move heaven and earth to save them. You could literally look at somebody wrong there or something.

I’ve actually a few of their videos. She’s Russian and he’s British. I’ve found their adventures to be quite interesting.

When Dear Leader wants a thousand people to get on their hands and knees and scrub the asphalt they do it.

The threat of immediate execution is a heckuva motivator.

You have to have big-time connections just to live in Pyongyang.

I have a young buddy from service to the IDF who is going to run the Pyong Yang marathon.

N. Koreans have escaped and told their stories.
Americans have been imprisoned there, released, and told their stories.
The N. Koreans themselves have released videos that tell the story. Such as executing a man with an RPG.
The USS Pueblo still anchored in Pyongyang tells the story as did the 82 sailors who endured torture there for 11 months.

The short answer to your question is that over the last 70 years I’ve paid attention.

The USS Pueblo. How they could have been sent out there with no backup makes no sense.

With today’s satellites, spy planes, and drones, there isn’t much that’s secret anymore unless it’s underground. As far as our “blue” cities which are becoming increasingly fecal brown, well I guess they like it that way. It’s a shame, but they reap what they sow.

Nobody can afford spray paint or fat markers to deface things!

Of course, you probably would get your head lopped off if you did any of that.

Did they visit the Otto Warmbier memorial park?

You know, the guy that was beaten into a vegetable by Nork guards?

Wouldn’t visit that forsaken place for any amount.

So sad. Re: Otto Warmbier. Never would have happened under Trump.

My daughter just got back from two weeks in South Korea and Japan. She’s been all over the world and said South Korea was her favorite. Loved the people, the food, everything

Its actually better to do research on escapees from NK.
There are many many videos on Ytube describing the horrors people live under. It is completely unimaginable what these people are forced to deal with. Its all about “ off with your head” ,,literally.

When you put it all together the daily life, etc., its straight, I mean straight out of Orwell’ s 1984, literally. I really mean this from the daily beer allotment and down to a mandatory speaker in every apt blasting govt propaganda. You can turn it down somewhat but it NEVER goes off.

There are also firdt hand published accounts, too availsble at livbraries and bookstores..
