Being very hard-line. I live in a ‘neutral’ country. So most people who know about Vietnam or Cuba have a positive opinion of those countries. But North Korea is seen as extreme, as putting its military ahead of its people’s well-being. But if it is because they feel constantly threatened by the US, then I can understand why they behave that way.
I actually have very bad information about it and will reserve judgement
But North Korea is seen as extreme, as putting its military ahead of its people’s well-being.
Ahhh I see. Well they’re still at war, understand that their adversary is the US not just the ROK, and 1 in 5 of the population being killed will make you take that extremely seriously.
We don’t have official figures yet but it’s pretty likely that what we’ve watched happen in Palestine is in fact less than what was done to Korea. Not that it’s a competition, but just to put into perspective just how horrible it must’ve been.
The US lives on their doorstep, propping up a puppet regime in the south that is on its fifth republic in 50 years. The north and south would’ve reunited by now if it weren’t for the fact that the South is not sovereign, every time the discussion happens the US demands a seat at the table, and prevents it from happening because it’s not in their interests.

This makes sense.
