N Korean children begging, army starving - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)Footage shot inside North Korea and obtained by the ABC has revealed the extent of chronic food shortages and malnutrition inside the secretive state.
The video is some of the most revealing footage ever smuggled out of the impoverished North Korean state.
Shot over several months by an undercover North Korean journalist, the harrowing footage shows images of filthy, homeless and orphaned children begging for food and soldiers demanding bribes.
Good. Maybe they'll break soon.
Nah, as long as the people are more concerned about their day to day survival, the government can cruise along on aid.
Then maybe we should stop providing it. Charity isn't supposed to make things worse.
The tricky part of the North Korea situation is that they are holding South Korea hostage. Thousands of artillery pieces are placed along the border and they can fire a lot of shells into Seoul before getting destroyed by counterfire. If North Korea's government goes down, they're probably taking a lot of innocent people in South Korea with them.
As cruel as this sounds, it's not our problem.

Videos and photos are terrible substitutes for a real analysis based on real statistics, especially when paired with terrible editorials like this.
You're right. I'm sure they're all throwing parties in the streets thanking their supreme leader for the steak and rice suppers.
Oh man calling for a reasoned analysis based on empirical information is totally being an apologist for dictatorship, you totally caught me dude!
Maybe you're right maybe I should just make meaningless posts about how Kim Jung Il is "bat**** insane" and deserves to be invaded, right?
all you do is ask that we ignore mounting evidence of how bad it is there. no reasoning is present in your posts
What evidence? Where is this evidence posted in this thread? Please point me to this evidence.
undercover reporting of what happens behind the curtain is evidence.
I'm done wasting my time on apologists such as yourself.
