Rather than take my word, I would suggest you take about 20 minutes of your valuable time and do a little research for yourself...
I got interested in NK after reading the book “Camp 14”
The story of the only person to escape alive from a NK work camp to China. He was born in the camp, he could never leave...watched his mother get hung for some minor infraction....
Also I will add the NK have a three generations policy of being imprisoned. Whoever would up being found guilty of subversion, thier entire family for three generations go to camp...
It seems that the evidence of NK’s alleged condition comes from a very few sources. I really have no way to determine which of those is true and which is simply propaganda.
It just seems super odd to me... if the stories are true, why doesn’t it seem to resemble any other country in a similar condition? Mass starvation plus the resources and tech to maintain one of the world’s largest armies, build skyscrapers, advanced missiles, and nukes... this paints a very disjointed picture.
My instincts are telling me that the official story just doesn’t add up here.
