Caution: this is horrifying to read.

2. Oh, God

3. Shocked, but not surprised

The North Korean government learned from the Japanese during WWII, and from the Soviets and Chinese afterwards. They're utterly abhorrent. Unfortunately, they're armed to the teeth and convinced that we're going to attack them. There's very little that can be done without endangering South Korea, though. They'd have no qualms about nuking or using chem or bio-weapons on Seoul or other populated areas.

4. Once again the UN ignores massive salughter of human beings.

I wonder what the UN is good for.

5. The Castros are Swedish prime ministers compared tho those fucks

Does the US have an embargo and/or travel ban against NK like they have against Cuba?
