    Saw the doco about that one @Terry_w. Interesting story but guess if you're treated well without having to work, guess it's a good life.

    @Terry_w also in nextflix in the "The Lovers and the despot" is pretty interesting story about a Korean director and actress kidnapped to North Korea due to the dear leader wanting North Korean movies to be better than it's lowly standards.

    I have an American friend who went on a tour in north korea couple years back and made it back safely :D

    If you do a google there are now quite a few tour groups selling tours for foreigners.
    DPRK — Group Tours - Koryo Tours

    They are probably rolling in $$ now. They have enjoyed the last couple decades of profitable commodity and other exports to china. And considering they don't spend much on welfare, all that extra profit is likely fuelling their nuclear campaign and arms/troop build up.

    It seems they were ramping up uranium mining couple years back. We now know what it was intended for...

    Kim's looking fatter and fatter in each photo I see of him. If Trump can wait bombs may not be necessary. He will explode of his own overeating.

    Kim started off promising - overseas educated, opened up inspections to international oversight on his inauguration, the west thought could he be the one to end the insular regime. Was not to be, the internal power struggles required to maintain power became a self fulfilling prophecy - he had to be like his forebears in order to survive, and little has changed
