  • For three decades, North Korean Ri Jong Ho was one of many men responsible for secretly sending millions of dollars back to Pyongyang. He worked for the shadowy "Office 39" before escaping with his family in 2014. He sat down with The Washington Post’s Anna Fifield to tell his story.

      When power changes hands in a dictatorship, those in high positions should always be on there toes, because when new management comes, there will be a lot of reshuffling (executions). This happened when Il took power and it happened when Un took power. A fledgling dictator will always need to build up fear and respect or else they be assassinated, this was especially true with Un who did not build a good public image before coming into power. That's why he logically needs to go over the top with executions to instill fear and nuclear threats to appease the warmongers raised to hate America. He went so far as to emulate his grandfather's hair cut, gained weight on purpose and emulated the clap like an actor preparing for a movie. Though dangerous, at the same time, it was predictable. Though dangerous, Kim Jong Un isn't mad, he's just playing a role. If a dictator strays from the role of dictator, the elites would have killed him long ago for weakness.

      JanPBtest while charlesdegaulle makes some really good points i just want to add a few. north koreans, while being welcome in south korea are usually not treated well. they are viewed as outsider who cannot be trusted a lot of the time. they also basically speak a completely different language at this point as well, which can make it even more difficult to live in the south. many defectors actually end up returning to the north on their own volition because of things like this. basically, they think everybody around them hates them. they also can't move to many other countries in asia, such as china, because they will be sent back if caught. so moving to the united states can be a good move if they can make it here. plus, what better way to piss off kim than to come live here?

      Doenjang Stew HE said NOW?? Maybe he should record a message and release on internet to American people not President and tell people how he doesn't want war and lay his cards on table. We living im a age where he can go around Goverment and talk directly to American people. Americans don't like threats and if being told they getting threatened when see missles shot off they want something done. So ibwouod suggest stop shooting missles and stop making threatening statements to stick cheat out for his people. He has to learn how to play chess how to posture. Only way he can keep his regime from being toppled is talk directly to American people Not a crazy basketball star who dressed in woman's dress . If he wants to be taken serious he has to think like a man and be humble. Being humble and talking directly to American people on net will get him much farther that shooting missles. If Americans have all people saying don't go to war the Goverment will avoid war. If all people feel threatened they will say blow his ass off map. People need to understands how this country works. If the people like you and understand you and don't think you just brainwashing your people they will put pressure on Goverment to leave him alone. If not they can care less

    "Many of North Korea people have not committed any crimes, but are merely family members of those deemed guilty of serious political crimes".Amnesty analyses aerial pictures of the camps and says that one of them is three times the size of Washington DC contains 20,000 inmates. According to one former official it had talked to, detainees were forced to dig their own graves and rape was used as punishment, the victims then disappearing. Kenneth Bae does not say he was physically tortured or beaten. His decline in health was because the harshness of the prison regime exacerbated his diabetes, high blood pressure and a kidney condition.That may or may not be the case of Otto Warmbier. But there are questions which the authorities in the United States are surely asking: How did he end up in a coma? And why did North Korea take a year to tell any outside country?

Dumb irresponsible people will say to just open our country and let Everyone in!! How STUPID! There is a balance! We have to also care for who live here also! Our children deserve a future, and that's why these people who fight to just open are dumber then a bag of hammers!

      Well the Korean War was started by North Korea funded by the USSR. A US led UN coalition then fought the Koreans back up until the border with China. Then China fearing a US presence at their border then decided to attack the US/UN till the border. So the war ended in an armistice. The US did not create NK but help stop it from taking over the Korean Peninsula

    *15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.*
    *16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.*
    *17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world; through him might be saved.*
    *18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.*
    *Ask for salvation now remember God does not send anyone to hell you do that yourself by not asking for salvation. Jesus died on the cross he took the sins of everyone, but if you don't ask for salvation then you have to pay the price for your sins and that means hell and hell is only a waiting place for the day of judgment and when you are in front of the white throne on the day of judgment you will go to the lake of fire and it's far worse than what hell can give you 1000's of times worse.*
    *Believe that Jesus is the son of God that God sent his only son to die on the cross for our sins, that he rose the third day and ascended into heaven. Know that you are a sinner. For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans Chapter 3 Verse 23).*

    *forward.*
