It says 8, not 80... Not that that makes it any less horrific. North Korea is a terrifying place, all the mystery surrounding it... I find cult-countries creepy, like I find the concept of the Vatican City/Holy See really bizarre.

I've watched a few of those undercover documentaries about it, obviously it's poverty stricken etc but it's so strange that the people are so subservient... everybody is too afraid to rebel because of the vice grip the Kim family have over the country.

I do think that there is a lot of misinformation around about NK mind you, a lot of it relies on rumour than any hard evidence. In a way its testament to how secretive and tightly controlled the country is that stories like this largely come from unnamed sources or what is even admitted to be speculation about the motive, makes it hard to know what's true and what's not

I think North Korea is far more unpredictable than any of the countries that the media likes to flap over being rogue states... Iran, Russia, China et al aren't about to start World War III, but North Korea might.

Oh my God... It's Nazi Germany in the 1930's all over again
Time maybe the rest of the World said enough !!! The General public in North Korea are being kept hostage in their own country forced to play along to the whims of its Mad dictator and his army. Surely it's time real effort was made to destabilise this country's leaders and chop the head of the regime. These poor people must be allowed self determination not forced to live under orders in mad gangster led society. Time real measures were taken to assassinate the rulers of this country and allow revolution to start...!!!

I don't think any stories about NK can surprise me at this point. I'm not sure how anyone could change things either since simply eliminating the Kim family probably won't solve anything at this point. It's like what they used to say about the Nazis, if you removed Hitler there'd be a number of people just as bad to take his place. The whole government needs to be dealt with in a quick and decisive manner.

Watched a documentary where Dennis Rodman and a few Harlem Globetrotters visited the country and held a exhibition with the NK Basketball team.
It was very odd and interesting to say the least.

The NK isn't the BEST equipped military in the world, most of its equipment is quite old in comparison to western forces, and they could be wiped out relatively easily with a concentrated effort, however they do have: - A workable Navy - An airforce with over 1500 military aircraft - A conscripted, somewhat trained army of over 1 million soldiers - A significant number of chemical weapons with ballistic capability - Rudimentary nuclear weapons In short; they could be defeated and without any western collateral damage; they have no viable way of attacking Western nations or even South Korea really, who have a much higher grade of military tech, HOWEVER... it would be very expensive in terms of both military resources, and we would be counting death stats for "our own" troops rather than mentioning them by name. |
