    I sure hope the satellites crashed together on a distant planet and then mated and had lizard babies.

    North and South Korea aren’t rivals. North Korea has been trying to free South Korea for decades.

    Lots of Koreans don’t even consider them different countries.

    But one day the US military will leave South Korea and leave these people alone.

        The irony is with the statement, the reverse is also true, sans non naturalized NK citizens. Any NK who goes to SK is considered a citizen.

      Korean here. You are the most ridiculous person I have ever met on the Internet. Most of us don’t think they are they same country or same something for that matter. I hope one day the military will bomb the shit out of Kim’s ass and feed him to pigs.

        I never said all Koreans. Or even most Koreans.

        The US has occupied your country for so long that their propaganda got too strong in SK. The younger you are, the higher the chances of you seeing the world their way.

        And the higher the chances you’re not asking them to leave.

          Lol, the country that won’t let their citizens cross a border for fear of them never coming back will “free” the other completely free Koreans. Got it.

            North Koreans can cross the border. The US have been feeding you too much propaganda.

            When my cousin was there, he took a train from North Korea to China, along with several other Koreans. It’s a regular train between the two countries. I can link to his YouTube video (it’s in Portuguese, can at least you can see the train even if you don’t understand what he’s saying).

            The only border they can’t cross is to South Korea. But that’s because they’re at war, not because of fear they won’t come back.

              Can he migrate to China? Can he go to other countries once in China? Is he a North Korean citizen? Please do link, would love to watch it and get more context.

                Hi. This is his video taking the regular train between NK and China. He made a playlist with his videos in NK.

                https://youtu.be/H9U78uolV80?si=C6HNaKU8KCFQOCRN

                I don’t know if there’s a way to generate translations from Portuguese to English, though.

                Also, I don’t know what are China’s rules on immigration. They already have 500 trillion people, so they probably don’t make it easy to immigrate.

                But no one in China will stop you from going from China to other countries. There are North Koreans that moved here to Brazil. And you can probably find them in other countries as well.

                I would guess that the biggest barrier preventing anyone from migrating is that it’s hard as hell. Not the process itself, but leaving everything behind and moving far away, speaking another language.

                And they would have to leave behind a country where they have free housing, absolutely zero taxes, good education, safety, and most important: guaranteed employment. So even though the US-imposed blockade makes their lives much harder, many people consider it to be better than moving to China and working 6 days a week in a low income job. Or working a low income job in any other nearby country.

                  I speak Portuguese. I don’t need a translator. In the video he stated most people at the train station are tourists and very few are Koreans going to China to work.

                  He also mentioned not being allowed to take photos of anything/anyone involved in the military and being that they’re everywhere, most places couldn’t be photographed.

                  I’m also Brazilian. I visited a military base in Brazil and took multiple photos and videos without having to hide it. Korea is not a free country.

                  This video also fails to show the parts of North Korea that hasn’t been specifically polished for tourists to see. If you want the true Korean experience, don’t take it from a polished North Korean tour experience. Take it from a North Korean refugee. There’s many videos, interviews, and books for you to read. Your English seems good enough.

            There’s been decades of US propaganda against any socialist country. It makes people delusional.

            It gets even stronger in countries that have been occupied by the US military, like South Korea. When you’re born to that, you start seeing that as normal. You start to think it’s okay that most of the sovereignty of your country has been taken away. Most people in SK have never lived in a sovereign country that can make its own decisions.

            They normalize that. And they start to sound delusional to others. But it’s not their fault.

          I always love it when yanks try to tell people who live in countries what it’s really like in Said country.

          bonus points when it’s delusional tankie nonsense from someone who desperately needs to touch grass some time this decade

            It’s not their fault. They’re covered in so much US propaganda that they’re delusional because of it. But we can always hope things will change in the future.

        If there wasn’t a commercial blockade fucking up with their resources, I’d definitely be trying to move there. Lots of people would.

        Free housing? Safe neighborhoods? Guaranteed employment and living near your job? Good education?

        That’s the dream!

            So, why is Israel not sanctioned to hell for their illegal Nuclear weapons program which they don’t allow international inspectors to observe and refuse to publicly state how many they have? It seems that there are two international Justice systems. One for those whom serve the interests of the west, and one for those who don’t.

            Being socialist.

            The US can’t let socialist countries thrive. Or people would realize that a better system is possible. It would destroy the current narrative that “capitalism might be bad, but it’s the only possible system”.

            Most things that people use to criticize countries like Cuba or NK aren’t their fault or even their choice.

            When people talk about socialist countries, they don’t mention its positives like good education, affordable housing, safety, employment rates, etc.

            They say things like “Cuba has old cars and slow internet” or “In North Korea most people can’t have cars and even lack vitamin C”. But all of that is because of the blockade, not because socialism causes that.

            And if you dare to be socialist, the US will do everything it can to sabotage the country, no matter how many people will suffer because of that.

                Yes, China gets to be an exception for two big reasons. One is that they’re only partially socialist. They allow American companies to profit from their population, which pleases the US (a little). And the biggest one is that China is powerful. Power creates exceptions.

                The US tries to find loopholes all the time, though. They’re always trying to harm China without creating an all-out economic war. Coming up with lies regarding Huawei as an excuse to block them, etc. But they can’t create a blockade against China, because the US would probably lose more than China. The US depends on China more than China depends on the US. Specially because China is the country holding the biggest amount of US national debt, and US dollars.

            You’re reading too much north american propaganda.

            Next you’ll tell me that Cubans eat kids and Chinese have secret holes all the way to the US to spy on people.
