We all see and hear what goes on over there. Kim will execute kids if they don’t cheer hard enough at his birthday party or something? He’s always threatening to nuke countries and is probably has the highest domestic kill count out of any world leader today.

So I ask? Why don’t any other countries step in to help those people. I saw a survey asking Americans and Escaped North Koreans would they migrate to North Korea and to the US if given the chance (hypothetical for the refugees). And it was like <0.1% to 95%. Obviously those people live in terror.

Why do we just allow this to happen in modern civilization? Nukes on South Korea? Is just not lucrative to step in? SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME PLEASE!?

    You have obviously misunderstood me.

    I was comparing the United States actions in the Korean War(1950s) to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. The mass civilian bombing campaigns, complete destruction of civilian infrastructure, manmade famine, widespread preventable disease, and imposed economic isolation are very similar between the two cases.

    I am not comparing current-day North Korea to current-day Gaza, and I agree with you that would not be a good analogy.

        The issue as you see it:

        clings on to a pseudo-scientific economic ideology

        The prescription you suggest:

        pseudo-scientific economic ideology

        So your thesis is that the 1950s war was inconsequential, and then you lay the entire blame on the Kim regime and their policies?

        My dude, how do you think the Kim regime became a dictatorship?

        Before the 1950s war, Kim was a weak puppet leader propped up by the Soviet Union. By the end of the war, the Kim regime had dictatorial power, which persists to this day.
