"It's amazing how North Korea are spending so much on Nuclear weapons when 1/2 their population are starving"
Yes Yoda, exactly, it's what madness and power juxtaposed demonstrates; it doesn't matter at all to them about their citizens and their overall welfare.

I attended University with a North Korean Guy who I helped a lot with the language and study etc, and you wouldn't believe some of the stories he told me about people with disability over there.....they're shunned like lepers.
Nobody dares speak out and he was fascinated as to why Aussies felt so empowered to do it with no repercussions. I tell ya what....when you get to know someone over 4 years who doesn't have the freedoms we take for granted (and who then had to return to that regime)...it's a real eyeopener.
I also helped to get citizenship for a North Korean who was seriously disabled after a car accident. To send that person home would have meant dire circumstances and that was argued right up to the highest authority. I got only a glimpse of the injustices of North Korea...imagine what it must be like to live there? From my limited experience, the people don't necessarily support the regime that exists, but they dare not speak out against it.
It's a worry.
