Why North Korea is the Hardest Country to Escape 

its like living in hell, but instead it is earth.

Yeah

I see you everywhere

Yea

It's a prison

Using this as an excuse to be islamophobic and supporting Modi is not better either.

@@uditabhaumik3008 liberals tend to think theyre actually liberals, its so ironic. Assuming that anyone who doesnt them is either a modi supporter or a right wing or conservative. There is no excuse for you to be hinduphobic.

I an a hindu myself, why would I hate myself ? I love how muslims trigger you. Your life must be sad.

@@uditabhaumik3008 I am aware youre a hindu before I typed that youre hinduphobic. This is something that you dont know that just because youre a hindu, that doesnt give you a card to be hinduphobic. The recent cases of hindu women in bangladesh and west bengal going through rape and genocide is because of people like you who spread hatred towards hindu. Just because youre a hindu, you dont get to use it to spread hindumnisia. And yes you should feel sorry for me. Because the women of my country including myself go through torture because of people like you.

Because we let them. Plain and simple. Imagine the western civilization versus North Korea. Kim Jung Shit wouldn’t stand a chance. Unfortunately there’s no money to be made with freeing the people of NK.

Why were they told to never look through the windows?

@@Isx_x33 I guess because the soldier on the other side were given permission to shoot if they made eye contact with you? He never really went into full detail.

​@Puresyrup_ the guard would shoot even upon eye contact which is crazy.

I guess they had envy of not been to seek freedom

That seems incredibly unlikely, north korea isn't that blind to international diplomacy to leave an order to just kill random people

honestly that's just sad :(

im sorry

That's heartbreaking. :(

The parents knew what they were doing every parent wants a better life for their child.

That’s great that they managed to escape though it sucks that their parents were very likely tortured or killed after that

I can't stop crying when I heard how quick South Korea accepts and saves them. This is heartbreaking

well actually, in south korea there is a lot of stigma, prejudice and hate towards north koreans till this day, since they're seen as spies and simply bc they know nothing about them. obviously that's starting to change w the new generations, but it's a really conservative country and most of s/koreans don't like the idea of being close to a n/korean

@hi;) just because they are of the same ethnicity doesn't mean that they definitely will like each other though

@@tessatata yes!

A lot of South Koreans don’t like North Koreans. They don’t want to deal with the economical impact of bringing in North Koreans. That alongside them seeing them as spies makes it hard for North Koreans to be accepted.

That's probably not a camp, but a building on the South Korean side of Panmunjom... There can't be a camp on the border.

Unfortunately some of the more famous NK escapees are complete grifters that are fabricating a lot of stuff and feeding certain political angles for profit. Most especially Yeonmi Park. Her vast inconsistencies defy basic scrutiny.

They are one of their own tho? Like, biologically and ethically speaking. Like they literally both speak Korean, different dialects maybe, but at the end of the day, it is still Korean. Yeah, maybe the culture for both side is vastly different, but that’s isn’t that big of a deal consider how fast a culture can be learn and assimilate into, especially with the aforementioned similarities between both North and South Korea. Also, believe it or not, North Korea would also welcome any South Korean or American defectors as one of their own too, so it’s not that special. P/s: I realize what I said sounded like I was in support of the NK government. To clarify, I think they are disgusting and there need to be a major reform/revolution happen soon in order to stop the suffer of the people of NK.

The previous American President came pretty close. I think that's why he and Kim Jong Un were so friendly. 😕

@@cappyjones They didnt come close at all... Sure i agree that Trump wasnt fit as president, but he isnt close to being Kim. The meeting between Trump and Kim only happened because he wanted to show the USA (and well, pretty much the entire NATO) how powerful, dangerous and delusional he is. Trump said that during dinner Kim told him about how he beheaded his own uncle, it was purely to "warn" USA/NATO about messing with them. Realistically NATO could blow North Korea to shit within a week, but the civilian casualties wouldve been absurdly high. God knows what kinda chain explosion could happen when the missiles strike.

@@vanyamahdavi Well as you might know, Korea was a colony of Japan for about 40 years, and naturally there were independence activists. During that period, there was the communism blooming from USSR, which means that the independence activists were seperated into communists and nationalists. Independence activists made lots and lots of parties, in which they fought for independence. Kim himself was in a party named 동북항일연군, a communist party that was active in the lands of 만주(it's part of China right now) and even led a battle against the Japanese soldiers. It's called 보천보 전투 in Korean. In fact, Seungman Lee was in 대한민국 임시정부, the Provisional Government of Korea as the first Provisional president. He was kicked out for attempting to ask the League of Nations to mandate Korea for him. I honestly don't understand why he was elected AGAIN as the first president of South Korea.

It’s not about letting them get away with this, it’s about maintaining U.S citizens safe without the chance of hurting our own in another war

@@gabrisgamer450 I’m not from the US. So with we I didn’t mean US. I meant the United Nations

@@georgia-nz3ut I got that wrong, I’ll admit. However this still applies to the United Nations. Kim knows he’s lose the war if it ever started, but he also knows that other countries are aware of his weaponry and arsenal. He knows that these countries should expect heavy damage if they ever decided to interfere with what he’s doing, and the death count would be too high to even think about trying something like that.

Because there's no concrete evidence about North Korea being a rogue state

There are a couple issues stoping the world from interfering. Outside interference could trigger a response from China or Russia which, unfortunately, are the only 2 nations who could put up a fight against the USA. The USA is relevant because even though you aren't an American the UN is so dependent on US forces that there's no reality where US military isn't involved. The US also has forces and bases in SK and Japan which would force us to be involved regardless. The other major problem is NK has nukes. So let's say that somehow both China and Russia get onboard with UN forces, completely removing any reality where NK could win. In their death throws they'd launch every nuke they have to take as many people with them as possible. SK and Japan would be in imminent danger as there might not be enough time to intercept the warheads. Other, farther places would also be in danger since it's likely that many of the nukes would be given random coordinates because Kim is actually that petty. It's not that the rest of the world doesn't want to help. It's that helping would very likely harm and kill more people than doing nothing will.
