Long story short, apparently North Korea sends contract workers abroad to work in slave like conditions in places like Russia and the Middle East and all their wages go directly to the North Korean regime's bank accounts.

Already have more than enough... but hey, one more just makes the pile that much higher.

There will be a revolution soon (I'm thinking 5-10 years). I saw a brand new documentary on the country recently and there is a huge clandestine movement to bring pirate radio, South Korean television programs and cell phones into the country. And there are even high-ups in the military that don't like how Kim Jong-Un and his elites are running things.

It's merely a matter of when now, not if.

Seriously, I'm surprised nobody has came in here yet to talk about how the US is somehow worse.

Wouldn't it also be fair to hate the countries they are sending them too, considering those slave-like conditions are in those countries? Didn't read the article though...

Already knew about this. Can't believe such dictatorship has lasted for this long to be honest.

I don't despise North Korea or any other country.I think Americans should worry about there own backyard and stay out of everybody else's.Every country has issues of their own,if you can't take care of your own problems in your country,then you can't take care of any other country's issues either.

Americans/Allies mind your own business.

I usually think this way but North Korea is beyond 'just having problems'.

Human rights are a problem for humanity. Drawing a line at one's "nation" just perpetuates the problem.

Those "slave laborers" don't realize how fortunate they are. It is an honor to toil to enrich the noble regime of the one true Korea.

Probably the fact that within the first hour of an invasion North Korea can shoot thousands of artillery rounds into Seoul, killing countless South Korean civilians. North Korea is literally holding South Korea hostage to prevent an attack.

If no major South Korean cities were in North Korean artillery range we probably would have invaded them decades ago. That was the good thing about when the US invaded Iraq from Kuwait, nothing but abandoned desert near the Iraqi border outside of a few sheep herders we would see while training.

Yeah, I know that you was probably trolling with your post, but I thought I would put a serious answer for anybody that doesn't know the reason why we haven't put American boots on the ground in Pyongyang yet since the most common reason people like to say we won't invade is the fact that the DPRK doesn't have any oil to take.
