Looks Like The WLB Got Hoodwinked

[downbeatplumb]

-In North Korea, children as young as 11 are routinely subject to forced labour.

-In North Korea, if a political prisoner gives birth, the baby is taken from her, killed, and fed to guard dogs.

-In North Korea, if you aren't in the government or the military, you have no right to food. 

-In North Korea, freedom of movement is so limited that it is virtually impossible for people to go and look for food.

-In North Korea, nearly half of deaths in detention, re-education, or labour camps result from malnutrition.

-In North Korea, girls as young as 14 are forcibly drafted into prostitution.

No wonder the WLB loves them.  That's his vision for 'Murrica.

Particularly the 14 year old girl bit.

The thing is, it’s actually in the best interest of all nations involved (the USA, China, and  both Koreas) that the status quo be maintained, if only because reunification would be a complete motherfucking disaster, since it would require the South taking an instant 50% bonus in their population of people who make 5% of what their cousins up north, are chronically starved, not educated to do ANYTHING but praise the Kim dynasty (and the few refugees who have defected to the South are treated as an underclass in South Korean society, something that the Chinese would also have to deal with in the event of a collapse) and would also have to spend a shitton of money to fix the shoddy infrastructure in the North. And, of course, there’d be a  If the Syrian refugee crisis is causing this much of a tumult in America, imagine that there’s 150 million coming to its shores and you’ll get a good impression of why there’s no hurry to reunite.

And if you’re saying they could just reform North Korea without reabsorbing it, if that were a possibility, you’d some liberalizing policies would have happened in the past 68 years.

Those suffering North Koreans are the child of Omelas for that part of Asia. If they’re still suffering, things can be stable (at least what passes for it in there, anyway), and life can go on as it always has for everyone else. Why yes, that does suck.

Can they make iphones? coz it sounds like they could do it cheap.
