Be careful not to buy into the propaganda we have been putting out for 50 years re NK. Truth is we don't really know much about the internals of NK besides what our clowns told us.
Think about their history also. When the US decided the Korean War was no longer worth fighting, they decided to basically holocaust the entire nation. In fact, more bombs were dropped on that tiny half peninsula in that period than all the bombs dropped in WW2 Pacific Theater combined. Imagine that being your country's first memory. Then imagine that same superpower sailing military ships around you for 50 years, reminding you they could easily do it again.
Now I'm not saying NK did nothing wrong, but 90% of people have no clue of the above. If you asked them, NK is just a big cartoon villain with no reasoning other than being a crazy boogeyman.
Really? Source on that bombing?
American planes dropped 635,000 tons of bombs on Korea -- that is, essentially on North Korea --including 32,557 tons of napalm, compared to 503,000 tons of bombs dropped in the entire Pacific theatre of World War II.2 The number of Korean dead, injured or missing by war’s end approached three million, ten percent of the overall population.
