You very clearly no little about the political and economic philosophy of the country(Juche).

From Wikipedia:

> The Juche theory is the belief that through self-reliance and a strong independent state, true socialism can be achieved.

This isn't really started strongly enough about their views (or at least what they tell their citizens) as regards self-reliance. Most of the famines there have been caused by incompetence. But they are called the Hermit Kingdom for a reason. They want to do it themselves.

They have the resources to create nuclear weapons, but not feed their population? I honestly don't understand how people can make excuses for a regime that had literally provided no value to their people or the world except for war, murder, and suffering.

Note: Was a Korean linguist in a branch of the US military. Might make some people think I was brainwashed, but actually just gave me actual context on the country and it's people.
