What do you think of North Korea?

[Netnox]

North Korea is the only country in the world that is creating a lot of nukes

The last time I checked, the United States had 80 times the number of nuclear warheads that the DPRK had. So you can't put all the blame on the DPRK. We should strive for a world devoid of nuclear weapons. None of the nations (including super-powers such as Russia, United States, China.etc) should be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

North Korea is one of the most lunatic country throughout history. Rest of the world must become alarmed immediatelly because we cannot anticipate when  Kim Jong-un will drop his nuclear bombs.

[Kemarit]

Well as been portrayed by mainstream media, North Korea has been identified with their leaders as "crazy" and "lunatic" and they are threat to the global peace. And they hold an arsenal of nuclear weapons and ready at their disposal and the most repressive government in the world.

But I think its more to that, I believed North Koreans are also a victim of their government and leadership. We haven't heard about famine or insufficient food for their citizens. Their is still embargo upon them and I think this is causing much problem specially those living in their. We are lucky that we are on the other side and not inside the reclusive country of North Korea.

[Love!]

The North Korean leaders seem to be delusional. Delusional and angry with weapons of war with seemingly no religious affiliations.

That combination alone should be worrying.

[EthBooksPro]

They seem to be upgrading their arsenal of late. The Intercontinetal Ballistic Missile they recently successfully launched says it all. I however do not think that war is what they want at the moment. Just a show of power and fear factor. But the propaganda spread in that country about the US and its allies is on a whole new level.

[Okurkabinladin]

Instead of the internet North Koreans have an “intranet”. This has limited access to official North Korean websites. Phones can’t make international calls.

Gentlemen, people vote by their feet. You wont find many southerners or Chinese fleeing their countries for North Korea. And for a good reason. North Korea isnt good place for a career or even starting a family.

Just my two cents. Now, please go on on evil american imperialism.

[Lancusters]

North Korea is one of the most closed countries in the world. I heard that the North Koreans, on average, two centimeters shorter than South Koreans due to constant malnutrition. But I do not mind. They have chosen for themselves a life. This can be compared with natural selection. Why live nation of cowards and slaves?

 Yes, you are correct.  Because of the news portrayed by media, North Korea's image really become shaded.  They always see them as the country that always test their nuclear missiles in the sea.  But what do we really know about the people living in that country.  Nothing right?  Only the lifestyle and being dictator of their leader.  I watched a video wherein a guy travels the Norkor and everything seems to be fine there.

[gabmen]

Well it's country led by a lunatic who pretty much doesn't know how to put his mouth where his money is. Kim is a crazy guy who may cause a world wat because of his foolish antics. The scary thing is that he he has nuclear access and has close ties to china. Hopefully he gets put in his place soon before he does something that can affect all of us

Why do you have to watch videos with guys travelling to NK and not ask North Koreans yourself? I know why. North Koreans dont have internet  not because they would be so traditionalist, but because state actively hunts people, who would own private internet or satellite connection and unauthorized access to information.

Tells you something about the country, Xester.

Just a food for the thinking man.

[myternity]

After latest news, all I think about it that I'm never ever ever go there.

Kim Jong-un is a lot different from his father and grandfather,he is educated in Switzerland and he is see how the world works beyond the borders of North Korea.The right of each country is to secure its defense,and I'm sure North Korea will not attack anyone.Even if that happened missile defense would very likely shut down any rocket+retaliation would mean the end of North Korea because I am sure that USA will hit them back ten times more.

I recently watched a documentary about North Korea and I have to admit I was surprised by some things.I recommend you take some time and look at this movie, the truth is not just what you hear and see on CNN.

Kim knows that the only way to make sure that his country is not invaded, is to manufacture nuclear weapons along with the ICBMs needed to deliver them. They have already manufactured the nukes. Only the ICBMs are remaining.

I am not sure Communist News Network is good source for anybody  

In 2006, Julien Pain, head of the Internet Desk at Reporters Without Borders, described North Korea as the world's worst Internet black hole in its list of the top 13 Internet enemies.

Internet access is not generally available in North Korea. Only some high-level officials are allowed to access the global internet. In some universities, a small number of strictly monitored computers are provided. Other citizens may only get access to the country's own intranet, called Kwangmyong. Foreigners can access the internet using the 3G phone network.

Internet access is restricted to regime elites and select university students. The state has created its own substitute "internet" – but even this network is restricted to certain elite grade schools, select research institutions, universities, factories, and privileged individuals. Moreover, the intranet is filtered by the Korea Computer Center, which ensures that only information deemed acceptable by the government can be accessed through the network.

The North Korean Ullim, an Android-based tablet, on sale since 2014, has a high level of inbuilt surveillance and controls.

They were never allowed to build launch vehicles capable of delivering nuclear warheads to U.S. soil. They use old technology and so I think they have no chance in the confrontation with America. Trump knows this, and therefore so boldly behaves in relation to them and much more restrained with Russia.

It's only a matter of time. Kim will finally be able to reach US coast either by building missiles or buying them from someone, but it's going to be far too late. By that time there will be a barrier of anti missile systems all around NK and all their launches will be stopped half way, they won't be able to reach the US even if kim himself kisses his precious warheads and prays for their swift aim

[skelpbedrock]

Nope, you should be worried about Trump. He's likely to start a war.

[killgald]

That we are in the begining of a possible world war 3, the North Korea president Kim wants to provocated the USA doing this kind of displays in the most patriotics days of USA, hope that Trump don´t mind and pay no attention to it

[rikfredsy]

I don't see NK starting a war right now, so don't be alarmed.

Can't be sure about it. I am not worried about Kim, but about Trump. It is possible that Trump decides to put an end to all this by invading the DPRK. The chances of Kim launching an attack is minimal.

(of the USA) for supplying missile technology to North Korea, former Secretary of State Madeline Albright for ensuring the sale was approved and, of course, President Clinton for approving the sale.  It must have felt good at the time, but few politicians have the ability to foresee the long term consequences of such actions.  We have now officially arrived at the point of consequence.  Accountability is a word not very well understood in Washington, D.C.  This is the root cause of our current demise.  Those who have no memory will dislike this message, preferring to blame our current president.

Can't be sure about this. If a country is capable of producing nuclear weapons, then they are definitely capable of designing and manufacturing nuclear-tipped ICBMs which can reach mainland United States from North Korea. The defense scientists in the DPRK have proven their worth multiple times, against overwhelming odds.
