    Yeah, I tried but I just can't give any ? about this. White people got a bad habit of going to other people's countries and thinking they can do whatever they want

    Yep

    North Korea is a self conscious nation, they don't like visitors because then visitors go back and say how bad it really is in N. Korea.

    This ? is going to need to be dealt with eventually. Rip the band-aid off now, or wait a another 20-30 years when they get even more sadistic.

    I ain't about this one instance. People NK have been forced to live under that authoritarian, unethical, uncivilized, robotic, demoralizing, hopeless, ultra-controlled regime for years and its seriously ? up. Sometimes it's just better to intervene and help out an entire population under the rule of a sadistic family, which literally worships the dead as if they were still alive.

    How much do you know about foreign affairs? Serious question

    I guess my argument is more ideological than anything, but it should bother the free world going to sleep at night knowing there is a entire country that is stuck under the thumb of an entirely brutal dictatorship.

    NK is a rogue state. If we know anything about history, its the human element is always a wild card and there is depraved individual running things. Its only a matter of time before Seoul gets bombed.

    They don't want a refugee crisis on their hands, and thats whats gonna happen if N Korea ever goes to war. Millions of uneducated and unskilled workers flooding across their border.

    This. NK also has nothing going for it, so trying to absorb it or install a government would be a huge task that comes with alot of risk with little to no reward. NK serves as a buffer state between US allied South Korea, which China already has contention with because of proximity. If NK fell, China would no longer have a buffer from US influence in that sphere as well.

    What happened to him was unfortunate, but there really wasn't any legitimate reason for him to be over there to begin with.

    I bet N.Korea shipped him back over here with the Simian Flu or some ? .

    His body was the Trojan Horse

    This might be more legitimate than you would think. Keep an eye on the news for the next few months.

    Who has North Korea attacked? Where is your proof? Stop speaking in hypotheticals and regurgitating racist American propaganda. If North Korea wanted to attack Seoul they would. Nothing is stopping them. America is a rouge state, with drones bombing some part of the world as I type or some classified Navy Seal unit assassinating someone as I type.

    From the few documentaries and interviews of high ranking officials that I have seen and heard. North Korea wants to be left the hell alone to run their Govt they way the see fit. But with China and the US constantly threatening their Govt they feel the need to protect themselves. And given our track record of bombing and killing those we disagree with I cannot blame them.

    Or difficult for some to understand that democracy means others not wanting, or caring to live like them and actually respecting their wishes.

    But interesting you didn't answer either of my questions. But I know why, it's because, you have no proof...So, keep on regurgitating. Parrot.
