    Please don’t start defending North Korea, it’s going too far

    I can accept today’s China, today’s Russia takes quite the mental gymnastics but sure, North Korea though is plain too far

      You’re not allowed to talk about North Korea, at all, in any context or capacity, until you go read this book.

      Like, you - specifically you - are forbidden from ever talking about the DPRK again, until you go read about what happened during the Korean war in this book. Every time you decide you want to say something about North Korea, I want you to ignore all those smirking news anchors and smug headlines telling you stories about unicorns, haircuts, and concentration camps and remember that you have to go read the book.

      It’s not a super long book. The link I provided is free. Go read it. Until you do, anything you say here about Korea is going to be laughed at, by all of us.
