North Korea has one of the best health care systems.

I mean any health care system that can do that must be something else.
I like how according to capitalists you are fucked if you do and fucked if you don't. The North Korean government recently has been kicking out long standing members....why these long standing members??? Because they are the military elite that has ciphers off funds and are corrupt. The North Korean news agency even says the reasons for them being kicked out. The North Korean government is shifting from a military first to an economy first. It has nukes so the pussy west will NEVER invade them hence they don't need to continue military first policy.
Why is the west so angry about the North Korean government kicking out top military people? Isn't the west against these military leaders as well???
And where did you get the idea that hi uncle was killed?

Where are the news reports saying the "west" as you so ambiguously call it are angry?
As for the "nukes". LOL.
One more thing:
Why do you have such a hard on for North Korea?

Because he's one of these hipster activists who hates capitalism and sees the world in black and white so that any nation that isn't capitalist must be good. This is what you get when you tell people to reject the mainstream but never bother teaching them to think for themselves.
At least that's what I'm guessing based on what I've read. Personally, I think he's nuttier than a Snickers.
Don't get me wrong: I think our healthcare system is fucked up and moving away from a for-profit system would be a HUGE benefit to the nation. But North Korea should be one of the last countries we should ever even think about emulating. What's next? We're supposed to be like Iran or Somalia (wait.... the Tea Party already wants us to be like Somalia, so that one isn't too much of a stretch).

So swallowing anti-capitalist propaganda is called "thinking for yourself".

Are you for or against the current wave of old military hard liners being kicked out ( no evidence of them being killed).
Yes that's right, the US doesn't attack people that can attack back, why do you think they starved Iraq for a decade under sanctions before they carried out with the invasion?

The price of bread is about £1.50 for a decent loaf.

You are seriously deluded. The US are very tactical in who they pick on sure, but I guarantee if North Korea suddenly found the largest oil reserves on planet Earth, America would be straight in there.
As for their "nukes"? They couldn't even shift missiles to American shores let alone put a nuke there, if indeed they had one.

Yes, it's true that N. Korea lacks the missile capability to strike the U.S. However, hitting S. Korea or another neighbor is within their missile range, so I think the point stands that N. Korea's nuclear arsenal would give us serious pause before conducting any sort of military strike -- even in the hypothetical case of their having vast oil reserves.

Wait, Sadam supposedly had "weapons of mass destruction" but it didn't stop the yanks going in then. As far as I can see the North Koreans have about as much evidence for their apparent nuclear capabilities as what Sadam did. Unless anyone can point me to a source that explicitly proves North Korea has nukes.
