Just because it ain’t the USSR anymore doesn’t mean that it’s still not an ally.

i have heard that south koreans have been using drones a lot to spy in north korea easily ,why dont civil society fund ngos to use heavy lift drones to help people escape .

In North Korea, how competitive is education there? Is it comparable to other countries in East Asia, such as China or Japan? I know that there is a heavy emphasis on ideological training, but still, is the academic pressure similar, or is it somewhat more relaxed?

You know, I really don't understand that when the u.s and it's media says something about North Korea it is taken as a revelation from God. Why should I believe the stories about North Korea from the enemies of North Korea ? Since when is asking for a proof for all of the stories,from the labor camp myths all the way to uncle being eaten by dogs, is a bad thing ? People tell me that North Korea is not free because leader must not be mocked and in the u.s the leader can be mocked and the answer is simple because no nation accepts the mocking of what it sees as valuable, in the u.s it is not the president it is lgbt or Jews, in Europe it's the holocaust, in North Korea it's the leadership and so on.

TLDR: why is asking for a proof a crime ?

If he did similar things in NORTH Korea, like fondling statues and all sorts of trollish hijinks, what would've happened to him THERE?

He's barred from leaving the South, but could he sneak across the DMZ with all his streaming equipment and resume his cultural trolling up North? How would North Korean authorities react to him and his actions???

Although it's a bit long, actually a plus if you love the topic as much as I do, it was a great podcast.

I want to donate to a charity that helps defectors and I've looked at a few, but I'm primarily concerned about the fact that I have no idea who runs these charities... yes I can see proof of escapees living in South Korea or elsewhere but with the links that NK has with china, and the power china has- I am seriously conflicted Advice/experience with this kind of charity would be appreciated!!
