We can't force change. we can't get involved directly as I've always thought that getting involved with the Korean conflict would be the fastest way to WW3. We can only hope for the best, despite that hope most likely being in vain.

I'd imagine there's more chance of the people revolting and over throwing them than one of the Kims suddenly developing a conscience

I don't think that will ever happen either. The level of control the Kims have is too much. Kids are taught that they have to be careful what they think about because the Kims are mindreaders and will know if they even think of anything that goes against their reign.

That, and the fact that famine and starvation is so common over there, it makes chances of a revolution by the people unlikely.

Short of risking world war, the only thing that will change the regime in NK is if one of the Kims develops a conscience, sadly.

Maaate you got me thinking now, was it NK or somewhere else that crazy conspiracy theorists say that a number of children are trained from birth to use psychic powers, and can kill anyone in the world with a thought?

NK is basically a theocracy. All the Kims have miraculous birth stories and multiple miracles attributed to them.

There is even a unicorn lair in NK, so up yours, America.
