Wild to me how many replies you're getting that defend North Korea. A failed state that has a starving population with no freedoms and is completely ostracised from most of the world. By choice.
This is not correct. Food security in the country has drastically improved and continues to improve - FAO data - Unicef data - both support this position.
No? The reason it's ostracised is a UN vote that was successfully passed that has never been challenged since because the DPRK is not in or allowed to join the UN, any attempt to would be immediately veto'd by the west. This is called 1718.
You see, this here is a problem. You consider simply stating factually true things that people are generally unaware of to be "defending north korea". You live in ignorance and seek to maintain that ignorance in other people rather than view the situation in a more balanced and academic way.
I'm not going to engage with someone who resorts to ad hominem attacks.
