No.21023
At the very least the people can rest easy knowing their glorious leader is eating well.
No.21024
North Korea actually looks great to live in.
Compare being a poor man in America, to an average citizen in the DPRK, and I would rather be the DPRK citizen every time.
Guaranteed a job, a place in society, and compensated better than the vast majority of Americans for your work.
Unlike in American capitalism, in exchange you will get:
- Your own house
- Your own wife
- No feminism, wife is almost guaranteed not to cheat or divorce, no getting raped in divorce court
- Your own kids, get to pass on your genes
- Strong communities and social bonds, largely because there is no internet or smartphones
- Beautiful nature, local farms and food everywhere, plenty of free time to go snowboarding, waterpark, beach, etc.

No.21032
They have been starving since the 90s, and that was a time when North Korea was China's spoiled child. The North Korean economy more or less developed, at least to the point of eliminating starvation, and these sanctions pose little to no threat to the North Korean system of power.
No.21033
Also, the whole reason why there was major starvation was because when the USSR fell, farmers in East Russia could no longer export their produce to North Korea.
Why did you make this thread here? What does it have to do with /jp/? I had thought it was something in the lines of ``guys I'm scared will Korea nuke Japan??''
