We don’t know what is going on in North Korea and nor does anyone else”. Those who claim certainty are fibbers and opportunists, and neither they nor their claims are to be trusted. North Korea is a mass human tragedy and a historical mess arising from decades of big power manipulation.
But it is also a screen on which outsiders project their own fears, yearnings and prejudices, and where we end up revealing more of ourselves than of the subject we pretend to understand.
The Chinese may have a rough idea of what goes on in the inner sanctums of the North Korean leadership. If so, they are not telling anyone else. The rest of us lack much of the who, what, where and when about the North and its rulers, let alone the how and why.
Give someone a billion dollars without having to work for it, and they will easily be a ‘kind person’ too. Why does North Korea not feed its people ? Is it because United States enforces an embargo to starve them using its diplomatic and military power. Just like how they have been doing to cuba, until south american countries started to break the blockade. If USA gets blockaded like USA blockades NK, the American people will start eating each other in 2 months.
