They might not be propaganda. There are alot of documentaries I watched on natgeo about NK. Undercover agents with the aid of secret cams. Some of those things are real.

Some are real some are fake news

Imagine NatGeo a network whose HQ is domiciled in Washington DC America, and it's CEO is an American by the name Gary Knell


The very day North Korea surrenders it's nuclear program to US, and bows to Western Supremacist the very day US would start painting them differently

Sorry, the US is not going to take over NK

1.China won;t let them

2.Russia won't let them

3.South Korea won't let them....because it means that the South Koreans would be taking over NK, which means they have to spend trillions of dollrs briging up NK to SK's standards

A word aboout Korean reunification. Many think it would be like German reunification, forgetting that West Germany spent a trillion dollars on the East in the first ten years ofreunification.

NK reunifyng with South kprea would coat 5 trillion in the first few years...and that's the optimist's estimaation...plus the money will continue to rise as the years go on.

4.Japan won't let them

China and Russia have large Korean minorites, and those ones would want to join their brethern in case of reunification...especially in CHINA.And the last thing Chinawants is another separatist movement

Oh it isn't so... I have had privilege of chatting NorthKorean Hackers, and counterfeiters on Darkweb with the aide of a translator, they are even more sufisticated than Russian and Ukrainian hackers, and their prices are cheap

Now before I started using deepweb, I was of the opinion that NorthKoreans are completely locked out of internet, and they all leave in labour camps

The NorthKorean was also of the impression that Nigeria was an undeveloped rural village with huts , malnourished kids, HIV everywhere

Those hackers work for a government office called Room 39. Their job...to raise money for the Kims

They don't work in the country, most of them are based in China.

Most of NK uses a self contained intranet. CAN'T have them exposed to dangerous ideas.. wink

Not disputing some of your facts

But

I think the main reason US won't take over Iran in the middle East and North Korea in the Korean Peninsula, or even broker a meaningful peace deal is , US benefit greatly from all this conflicts as it cost some of this panicking Countries Billions to secure access to US Defense either through weapons or continuous running of various US base accross the regions

Seoul coughs out between $1bn to $5bn for just a single US anti Missile Defense system just to feel secured from Kim,

UAE, Saudi, Bahrain, Oman and many Gulf countries fork out billions in cash to run US base and get weapons while Isrealis give research and some technology all to keep them safe from their enemies

No, and I don't want to . (Al foreign visitors are assigned a minder, and you can't travel freely in the country, and you must vissit a pre-approved list of sites, and you must bow before the statues of the Supreme and Dear leader....)

But i have read extensively on North Korea. It's part of my wider interest in communist and formerly communist countries...something that began with a biography of Lenin i read when I was very young.

And yes, I think the US has done a lot of bad and evil things. I also beleive that NK is run by tyrants.

More was said about Libya's Gaddafi until he was killed

so until you visit N.Korea and stay there for a while, you shouldn't go propagating falsehood.

that's how somebody who's never been to North or S.East and will come here and be spewing tribalistic bullshit

The Kim don't have to leave power, Democracy is not for all, Monarchy and Communism has favoured many countries and western democracy is still throwing many people off

The truth is majority of North Koreans are not fools and they know what they want and what style of Government they prefer hence no nationwide complain , just handful of defectors conniving with the west

5. Cold noodles are commonly served on wedding days
It is quite usual for someone on a wedding day to ask: “when can I eat your cold noodles?” which just sounds like a horrible innuendo to us.
As if there weren’t enough rules, you cannot hold a wedding whenever you fancy in North Korea. They are usually only held in the spring and autumn.
Korean newlyweds must visit the statue of Kim Il-sung on their wedding day to honour it with flowers and then take pictures. Also you can forget about having a honeymoon. Weddings are also prohibited when Kim has an upcoming important event. People also cannot marry on 15th April or 16th February because these are the birthdays of former leaders Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il.
On those days you can sit and think about how great your glorious leaders are instead!

6: There are no condoms in North Korea
Condoms are banned from manufacture or sale in North Korea, and are blocked from entry at customs posts. That's little wonder STDs seems to be rampant in the country.

Have you been to North Korea?

Yo should read Lankov, and also books by Yeonmi Park, and others who actually lived there. I have. So, i know.

Just because countries oppose the US does not mean they are nice places.

FYI...things were good in Ghaddafi's Libya because Libya produces five times more oil than Nigeria and has less than 10 million people. And no one had the right to criticise their leaders as a result. What you see in Libya now is repressed anger that has built up....which is why freedom of peech is important.

And no, I did not back foreign intervention in Libya.

4.You’re only allowed to date someone if you plan on marrying them
Many things that we take for granted in the West, North Koreans are not allowed to do. This includes things like public displays of affection (including hugging and kissing, even for marries couples,) getting tattoos and having piercings.
North Korean men expect their brides to be chaste and to have been in no previous marriages. They must also be without child.
In the DPRK, if a woman gets divorced then it is always her fault and as such, she has very little chance of ever finding another husband. Domestic violence is not frowned upon and many men who abuse their wives will be supported by the government.
Again, Kim Jong-un gets a free pass to do what he likes with women. Female defectors from the country have described how school girls are pulled out of high school and taught how to become sex slaves and pleasure the notorious leader.
