    The most disgusting part is that they refuse food aid from the UN. I sometimes get the impression that Kim sees his people as a toy army. Like, he doesn't realize these are real people with real feelings and real needs.

      You are both right. There is a lack of food because of floods, etc., but an enormous amount of money that could go towards buying food, improving farm efficiency, etc. goes towards Kim Jong's obsession with missiles; which I guess could go under "poor economic management". @@yearzeroism

      That's not how it works. North Korea cannot produce more food(they already produce more food than South Korea). North Korea has to trade for food, but not only does North Korea not have anything to trade, it's also heavily sanctioned so it isn't allowed to trade.

      Fun Fact: The DPRK was the leading economy of the 2 countries up until before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1988. In ‘94 the collectively west voted with the UN to put the heaviest sanctions any country has seen on the DPRK, these sanctions included even the export of grains to the true Korea which caused the massive famine of the DPRK. The west purposely did this to starve their country. Despite all this the Kim’s have made the DPRK into a glorious socialist paradise. Glory to the true Korea.

      @@Dream_more_age_less Recent North Korean defectors say that North Koreans have access to all kinds of South Korea media. South Korean soap operas, K-Pop, etc. It's not officially sanctioned but still common via smuggling through China. North Korea isn't quite as cutoff as people imagine, nor is it as difficult to leave as people imagine. It's actually fairly easy to get to China, but life in China as a North Korean isn't necessarily an improvement. North Koreans don't speak the language or have marketable skills. So the women often become prostitutes, and the men are exploited for cheap agricultural labor. Even if they make it to South Korea, the South Koreans look down on North Koreans and treat them like second-class citizens. The women are assumed to have been prostitutes in China, and the men as spies. The accent of North Koreans is associated with backwardness. Kind of like the hillbilly accent in the United States, but worse.

      @@tristanclarkhawes976 there isnt even much for "Strings", typically even when sending aid to dictatorships those sending the aid usually just want some assurances that the aid is going to the citizens and isnt being pocketed by the regime. North Korea does that quiet often either selling the aid to pocket a profit or giving the "aid" out as payment in return for working for the regime, essentially using the food in lieu of a "pay check". That's one reason why not much aid has gone to Afghanistan recently; the Taliban have been withholding it and giving food to government employees or selling it instead of distributing the food to the citizens. That's one major reason why Live Aid was a bit of a disaster: they sent tons of aid but the regime pocketed almost all of it because there werent any strings attached or much monitoring.

The suffering from no food intake is something that can't be ignored, distracted from.

Not only have food imports been severely curtailed due to the collapse in exports since 2017, but the import of oil based products has been limited leading to shortages of the inputs for producing fertilisers, pesticides and plastic sheeting.

    with reports of a dire situation for the country's population. It's frustrating that we have limited access to information from North Korea, so it's difficult to know the true extent of the crisis. However, the comparison to the famine in the 1990s, known as the arduous March, is worrying. The crisis in the 1990s triggered a large outflow of North Koreans desperate to escape poverty, hunger, and devastation, with an estimated 3 million North Koreans dying from starvation or related illnesses.
    It's also concerning that Pyongyang has been ramping up its nuclear weapons program in recent years, with an unprecedented number of ballistic and other missile tests recorded in the nation's history. The high level of spending on defense is also alarming, with the country spending about one-fourth of its estimated GDP on defense in 2019. Economic sanctions have been implemented, but these have had unintended consequences for the country's population, with those at the lowest levels of the pyramid suffering the most. Overall, it's a worrying situation and I hope that aid can reach those who need it most.

In ‘94 the collectively west voted with the UN to put the heaviest sanctions any country has seen on the DPRK, these sanctions included even the export of grains to the true Korea which caused the massive famine of the DPRK. The west purposely did this to starve their country. Despite all this the Kim’s have made the DPRK into a glorious socialist paradise. Glory to the true Korea.

Am I the only one that's getting the ick when I see them interact? It just seems far too intimate in a very immoral way. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if I'm right. How is that child supposed to know that "daddy" isn't supposed to touch her like that or behave/say things like that? She won't know anything truthful or correct inside that box of lies called NK. Ugh, it just gives the ick x1,000,000!!
    I guarantee there's something sick going on inside that family. I'd be completely willing to bet money on it! That fat f*©k keeps piling money into his bank account and food into his fat face while his people suffer in FORCED silence. He's the definition of evil Peter pan. He's a man child who's NEVER been told no without consequences to the person saying it. It's just so twisted and backwards. Everything in and about NK is completely upside-down! Unless someone gets so desperate they sneak some "un-alive powder" into his night cap and (sad to say) the entire family this genocide on the NK people will continue. If somehow the people end the entire line and take back the power to their country, that's the only way I see a possibility of hope for the people. Until that happens they continue to suffer in forced silence with forced compliance until they're weakened to the point of their last breath. Sad AF to watch. My hopes and wishes are with and for the Marginalized people of NK. Many of whom are so brainwashed they don't even realize how ridiculously messed up their situation is and how unfair their lives are. Very few ever come to their senses despite the brainwashing from childhood. They all suffering Stockholm syndrome on a massive scale. They're literally turned against each other, family, friends, etc by the regime and their expert manipulation. It's just pitiful to witness in action. Hopefully one day they'll have true freedom.

      That ignores all the reasons why South Korea's economy surpassed North Korea's in the 1960's. North Korea received plenty of aid from the USSR and China during the Cold War. Unfortunately for the North Korean people, military investment had a far higher priority than economic investment.
      Similarly, Park Chung-hee opened up South Korea to foreign direct investment in the 1960's. Even China started accepting FDI in the 1980's with the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. North Korea didn't accept foreign investment until 2002 with the Rasun Free Trade Zone. Too little, too late.

      I hope the North Korean civilians revolt and take the fat pig to the guillotine for that.
      If the French Royals were executed for insinuating that the population should eat cake that fat pig should definitely suffer the guillotine for this.

    What I want to know is how are these outside agencies like the United Nations Food Security assessment getting these figures about North Korea such as 40% of people are "food insecure"? Or that 2019 was North korea's worst recorded Harvest? I don't doubt any of this is happening because I've been following the reports and documentaries about North Korea's situation a long time. But anyone with common sense knows North Korea isn't going to allow that info to be accessed by outsiders, so how are you getting it?

      There's a few reasons why:
      1. North Korea much like Maoist China, Stalinist USSR, and Leninist Russia, denies the famine is really happening so as to not look weak.
      2. Related to #1 they deny foreign aid for famine relief (but will accept it if it's in return for not launching nukes since that makes them look strong).
      3. They dont want foreigners in their country
      4. Often foreign aid comes with some minor strings attached, typically proof that the aid isnt just going straight to the regime. North Korea and other dictatorships often either take the free aid and use it in place of payment to get their citizens to work for the regime or they sell the aid which is supposed to be free to the citizens. The Kims have done that before since they're extremely greedy and power hungry, and their underlings do the same.
      In spite of North Korean militarism and threats foreign countries have time and time again offered and even sent aid to the country. North Korea constantly complains about the US and outright insults the country, both the US government and it's citizens specifically, and even in spite of that the US has sent tons in aid over the years. Just between 1995 and 2007 the US government sent over $1bil in food aid alone with more being sent since from the US government and more yet coming from private US charities and through programs like UNICEF which has been primarily US funded. This isnt a case of the world ignoring a tragedy, it's a case of a Chinese puppet state rebuking foreign aid so they can maintain control over the country.
