Horrifying and accurate and an brings up facts I have never considered.
If the full light of day could shine on NK finally, what horrors would we find? What manner of people would we see on a large scale basis?
If there’s no food for adults, then there’s obviously no food for children, which would devastate development.
How does such an isolated country get the money and knowlege to build nukes and a semi decent artillery system?!?!?!
They say at night, NK is almost completley dark from the sky.
At present, there are an estimated 25 million North Koreans. It’s remarkable enough that the population is supposedly growing with the scarce food resources. The horrors one would find would likely include cannibalism, as what else would one be reduced to when the alternatives are eating grass or stripping bark from trees. We’ll never get explicit truth from the media, because they don’t want the world to know the horrors of leftist regimes and the mass casualties they incur.
Imagine such people becoming an instant and permanent underclass in a newly reunited Korea, mentally ill-equipped to deal with new realities of this age (whereas before their sole duty was #1, paying absolute deference to their God-Dictator Kims 1, 2 & 3 and told what to think, how to dress, how to wear their hair, et al; and #2, trying to find a bare minimum of food to get through the day. Education ? Whatever horror indoctrination presents their God-Dictator as the provider of everything and anything and being grateful that he allows the sun to rise and to set. The kind of propaganda we saw from our own media during Zero’s 2008 campaign, epic-level Satanic sicko stuff, “Second Coming”, et al).
Assimilating people of Stone Age mental capacity into the modern era, ones whom have worshipped a deranged Eric Cartman-esque cartoon character as absolute God, with little to no critical thinking skills or other positive attributes are likely a future drain on a United Korea and perpetual welfare cases as well (and also probably a powder-keg for future violence/crime when they cannot cope with being thrust into the modern era, let alone able to compete with their Southern cousins, and acting out as a result).
China knows this has all been going on, but are probably content to keep NK as a bulwark against a free South Korea. They could’ve marched into the NK decades ago and taken it over, but were content to keep it as an ally, as they weren’t much different than China (pre-Nixon’s visit). It’s more of a headache for them today, and they’d not want to deal with the logistics of a takeover and the nightmare of what to do with the impoverished and subjugated population.
NK IS dark from the sky-that’s because they turn off the electricity because there’s no money to run it. And besides , it’s all done in the name of Dear Leader if you’re in town.
If you’re not town then you’re in a prison camp.
