Hyeonseo Lee: My escape from North Korea
As a child growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee thought her country was “the best on the planet.” It wasn't until the famine of the 90s that she began to wonder. She escaped the country at 14, to begin a life in hiding, as a refugee in China. Hers is a harrowing, personal tale of survival and hope -- and a powerful reminder of those who face constant danger, even when the border is far behind.

I've read and seen many videos on how extremely bad N. Korea is.

What is the world waiting for?

Obviously no government is doing jack about this.

If Al-Qaeda can be a nation-less killing group can't we bond together and be a Drone freedom group or such?

Can't we support a free Korea movement by funding and flying home made drones, dropping pamphlets, money and small items of food on a large scale?

Inform its people that they are being shitted on by the worst oppressive government and give them hope that the world is a good place and that their rulers are dicks.

Heck if green peace can fund ships to stop fishing can't this be done?

Frustrating yet relieved to see that the western world is finally noticing the terrible condition these North Koreans live under. As a Korean American I had access to Korean news during the 90s and I remember hearing these horror stories in North Korea, and yet no other First World countries cared enough for this region politically to do anything about it. Hell, if Dennis Rodman can meet the goddamn leader of North Korea, how hard can it be to send a few bowls of porridge into the country? Fucking hell.

The founder and CEO of Hyundai motor group was himself born and raised in North Korea who had immigrated south just before the Korean war began, and he personally spent millions of his personal money to send 1000 full grown cows to north Korea by the truckload, and convince the North Korean leaders to open their borders and accept US/South Korean aid in. That was the 90s she was talking about. Fucking Cows man. Basketball players and Cows.

To this day we have North Korean refugees in China selling their bodies to make ends meet, and little children pickpocketing in the street. This is not some history lesson. This is an on going news coverage.

There's one thing we're doing wrong to North Korea, which is to impose sanctions.

It doesn't work, like it hasn't worked for decades against Cuba, and many other countries we have antagonized. Sanctions give their rulers a way of blaming any problem on the outside world, using nationalistic pride to rally public support for their cause. Sanctions also don't affect the rulers or the rich elite, who can always smuggle whatever they want for the right price.

Sanctions are acts of war. Exactly what North Korea needs to close itself up, militarily and otherwise, screwing poor north koreans over in the process.
