    Germany still has economic and cultural problems with its eastern parts even to this day. Plus, North Korea is even more corrupt, Stalinist and consists almost entirely of mountains.

    I suspect North Korea will just become another Moldova - some underdeveloped and insignificant spot in an otherwise rich region.

    but they did.. I think you are really underestimating what the Nazi's did in Germany.

    By the time the wall came down (which is what was being referred to I think?) it wasn't as prolific as it is right now in North Korea surely?

    Of course it can be done but one would be a fool to think it would be easy without the effects of it being felt for generations in North Korea.

    The nazis are irrelevant to Eastern Germany during the cold war, the split happened first after we had taken Berlin.

    They are the only nation in the world that has a national policy of telling the US they are going to blow us up.

    Oh..there were still enough Nazis in east and west germany...and in responsible positions...
    North Korea is the main attraction of the Earth Freak Show. There's so much freaky shit about North Korea that it's not even funny.

    So did he step down or is this title misleading? Last I heard he just got gout and couldn't be out in public while he was being treated.

    It's true.

    Kim Jong Un can't be a quiet little sadist dictator and hope the USA doesn't come looking for wmds, like all other dictators. His ego is of enormous proportions and thinks his buddy, China, will always have his back, so he's very bold in threatening the world with his pathetic 3rd world army that South Korea alone would eat up in one week if China would tell Kim Jong Un to fuck off.

    The obsession with NK is the same that makes stupid reality shows like Jersey Shore, or whatever that stuff with Honey Booboo (sp?) is about. People enjoying watching dumb people act dumb, cause drama, etc. They just don't want to be involved themselves. It makes them feel better about themselves.

    The fact that NK's foreign relations are handled like an attention-starved 5 year old, and they continue to put on fake displays of "wealth" "power" and "modernity" to foreign media and politicians who see through it and know its fake all too easily, makes it very easy to laugh at them.

    It's very funny until you then fall into a sad grimace after thinking about all the people being abused or brainwashed over there to make it happen.

    It's likely that someone just as bad will replace him, assuming he's been kocked off his throne. There will be enough corrupt people enjoying the lifestyle provided to them by the suffering of many to step up to the plate and maintain the status quo.

    It's not surprising he's hurt his ankles as he's been walking around in Cuban Heels, which are basically high heel shoes for men. Obesity + high heels = disaster waiting to happen.

    Comparing Nazi Germany with Germany West/East of the 1980s...... Now that shows some insight...
    Like none whatsoever...

    and Germany is not a good comparison to Korea either...

    South Korea is not an economic power house. West Germany however was one.

    Wait what? Are you really claiming South Korea is not an economic power house? Unless of course you mean in the 1980s they weren't but today they are one of richest countries in the world.

    North Korea is surrounded by much better off, richer countries with much better qualities of life. I say we go in there, take out all the bastards and send all the innocent civilians to south Korea/China and leave that pathetic land to rot or even better, give it to South Korea.
    Nah. Because China.
