>Ryul, who has lived underground in Austria for 15 years

He is probably right, BUT

He left before the terrible floods/famines that rocked the country in the mid to late 90s.

He left before the "experiment" with minor free market activities produced a new class of wealthy people

He left before North Korea slammed the door on those reforms, seriously pissing off what was turning into an actual North Korean middle class

The North Korea of today is significantly shittier and worse off than it was when he was there, and it was already pretty shitty then. So, who knows.

i giggled like a school girl

it would be funny if NK was the one country not to join the one world order.

I loved how proud they were of their sorry excuse of a nuclear bomb.

It was a motherfucking uranium bomb and they still managed to make it fissile

What a bunch of dumb asians.

One day you'll say, "why is everyone dead?"

"Why didn't we just do what Kim Jong Il said?"

Hitchens described the situation aptly. He is the head of a crime syndicate that is holding the entire nation as hostage.

Then I'll say "We've been kissing that guys ass for years, fuck him."

Viva North Korea, and long live Kim Jong Il, refusing to allow the capitalist shysters to exploit the people, like they do in nearly every other country on earth, the capitalist embargo North Korea like Cuba. However the North Koreans are a strong willed people behind their leader.

Cuba is bad, but still orders of magnitude better than North Korea.

North Korea, Most Luxuriously Carpeted Korea.

>spy technology, weapons and luxurious carpets

It's true, comedy comes in threes.

I saw somewhere an estimate that 65% of the regime's income comes from illegal activities, like counterfeiting and exporting fake cigarettes and designer bags. Apparently they also make a sizable quantity of heroin and weed and then sell it through China.
