When Kim Jong il died, and there was hope that new leadership would turn North Korea around? I lament my naivety that I honestly believed that would happen.

tbh, when people were predicting that, their smug optimism was annoying. All the same, I hate how badly it blew up in their faces given that un is iller than il.

There's a lot of shitty authoritarian places, and north korea actually has a lot of potential help to transition them into a modern society.

I'm pretty sure NK is the worst of them all.

In terms of censorship, Eritrea is even worse than North Korea.

Frankly we need to send troops to North Korea and blow the crap out of the leader of it and any of his supporters.

Except, our strategy for the past 60 years was to wait until their junta gets coup'd from within, and it's not going to change. They, being not stupid, realize that's their greatest threat and try very hard to not let that happen.

People are naive. Just like those who thought that Bin Laden or Gaddafi's death would be the beginning of positive change, when it was clear from the beginning that it would just spark more violence and instability. Or that supporting "moderate rebels" in Syria to fight Assad was a good idea.

Best of all were the news companies that thought Mohammad Morsi's government in Egypt would be progressive and welcoming. What part of "Muslim Brotherhood" did they not understand? I honestly don't understand where news companies come up with this shit.

That's not why we wanted Osama Bin Ladin dead. We wanted him dead for revenge for 9/11.
