    Defecting to a country at war with the DPRK is treason, just like how the ROK treats those defecting to the DPRK. This isn’t especially uncommon. People from the DPRK leave and visit Russia and China frequently, the biggest obstacle to movement isn’t the WPK but instead US sanctions.

        US sanctions have been devastating and de facto mean people from the DPRK are not free to travel. The only countries they can to to are ones that don’t give a shit about sanctions, like Russia and China. The people aren’t trapped by the WPK, but by the US Empire.

            if you’re an american, the federal gov’t is legally obligated to share cia/fbi/state department/etc. files through a system called the freedom of information act.

            do yourself a favor and read those files and learn about how they have openly created propaganda about north korea to get you to believe what you just wrote.

                However, am I supposed to just close my eyes and plug my ears when I can see actual evidence of what I just wrote with my own two eyeballs and that has sources from many countries around the world some of them that also hate the USA?

                You never provided any of this, lol. We cannot see what you’re talking about.

                if you read those files and you will learn how they manufacture those things that you’re seeing with your eyes and hearing with your ears.

                these facts been public record since the 1970’s and the american gov’t itself confirms that it’s true; stop embarrassing yourself and read the files.

            People from the DPRK do leave it and visit countries like Russia and China, they just can’t defect to the ROK legally. You keep claiming there are hundreds of videos of troops from the DPRK killing civilians defecting, but it’s often ROK troops shooting them. Cuba is not at war with anyone, and both Cuba and the DPRK are harmed by sanctions, the major reason the DPRK is doing better is because it has nuclear deterrence.
