    Pointing out that western media lies about its enemies is hardly getting a boner for north Korea.

    The United states killed 25% of the Korean population then stole half the countries land mass and coerced the world into economically isolating the other half of the country.

    How long should we expect a country to recover from a genocide while being unable to trade goods with most of the world?

      “It has problems but it’s no hell on Earth” seems quite disingenuous to the people who actually live there and suffer through it.

      The west lies, but North Korea literally is a horrible place rife with famine and suffering.

        “I know he’s a liar but I believe in his lies!” Just how dumb are you?

        The people that live in the DPRK support their system by and large. Famine is rare, it was common in the 90s due to flooding and the collapse of the USSR, but we are 3 decades removed from that period:

        I suggest you reconsider what you think you know, because you’re clearly clouded by chauvanism.

        the state department has admitted to make this shit up; do yourself a favor instead of looking like another maga and educate yourself of what your hegemony has already publicly admitted (decades ago) to doing.
