What you describe is most likely the truth. It’s hard for the average American to believe that an entire country could be held down under such cruel repression and deprivation. Alas, it really IS that way, even in the 21st Century!
What shocks me more is that this ‘Royal Family Line’ has not been disposed of by some of it’s own military. Most likely, the Kim Jung Culture has it so every officer lives in suspicion and dread of being tattled on or lied about by another officer. A self policing environment thrives on paranoia, and perpetuates itself.
” A self policing environment thrives on paranoia, and perpetuates itself.”
exactly right I think too.
