I sat reading the comments and nodding along and then realized that all this discourse is essentially 'poor country can’t afford nice things '. I’d be really upset at someone that made fun of a person over the junker they drove because it was all they could afford.
It’s like making fun of the cheap gun they bought to protect themselves after a gang set up shop in their neighborhood, took over their neighbors house and did a home invasion where 1/5 of the family was killed and the house itself was completely destroyed.
The NYPD has more funding than North Korea’s entire military. Tell me how many people are going hungry or homeless in New York alone. The US has no excuse whatsoever for relying on slave labor, either. Oh, but thank god we have more than one fat person in New York, so the problem will be perfectly solved when another New Yorker gets fat.
Go look at the status both countries are at today instead of referencing 70 year old events. Whatever path South Korea took clearly worked and North Korea’s path did not. A rational, intelligent person would admit when they were wrong and concede
This is literally it. North Korea is just a poor country that offers its citizens free healthcare and education. If a poor country in Africa became “communist,” you can bet these same people would be laughing at them when kids have to pick up guns to defend themselves from an American invasion. “Ha ha look at those inferior kids thinking they deserve to fight back. Kill them! I wish they died quicker and were sanctioned harder.”

Poor country can afford nice things, poor county instead spends money on crimes against humanity and propping up a monarchy.
This is more the shitty gun they bought to scare their neighbor. Also, their kids are skipping another meal.
Just to extend that metaphor a little bit:
It’s like making fun of the cheap gun they bought to protect themselves after a gang set up shop in their neighborhood, took over their neighbors house and did a home invasion where 1/5 of the family was killed and the house itself was completely destroyed.
Eh. It’s sad how their military needs to do this when it sucks up so much money already.
If they just invested in their people instead of their war, north korea would be a much better place to live.
Never forget how there is literally only one fat person in the entire state, and that’s their ‘supreme leader.’
How is it not a good place to live? Who have you been listening to?
E: s/got/not
What?
Same comment in upper case.
You’re not making any sense.
Typo corrected.

They have the option of joining South Korea anytime they want, that option has always been open to them
To join up with a country that supported this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chun_Doo-hwan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodo_League_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwangju_Uprising https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_massacres
The South Korea that was allied with the US, who makes agreements like this to achieve their goals? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ap-us-allowed-korean-massacre-in-1950/
