Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea?

iirc one of the issues is that even if things go perfectly on a military front no one is quite sure how to handle and de-program/rehabilitate 25.5 million people a large quantity of which likely lack any skills that would be useful in western economies.

a large quantity of which likely lack any skills that would be useful in western economies.

What an alarming thing to say…

  I’m not saying its a good reason, just a reason. We could easily afford it if we took some of that magic money that goes into military funding blackholes or magical infastructure projects that never get built yet somehow break records on cost. Sadly the decision is being made by people with no sense of empathy or value for human life.

    No, the alarming part is that you view North Koreans as subhuman animals with no skills.
