I talked with a friend who is very up on what is happening there and he told me that what the South fears will happen now is Kim will order all the political prisoners and known dissenters killed in a mass killing spree before his son takes over.
Smooth the way by eliminating what could be a million+ mouths that need feeding and resources to guard and care for them, also dieing with the blame so his son will be clear of any later charges or crimes against humanity.
Well!
Old Man knows he’s going to Hell soon, so he goes off with one last horrifying act of brutality. God help Korea!
That would not be surprising....the people are simply cannon fodder one way or another...and denial rules the people...they have lost the ability entirely of making decisions for themselves...and the leadership continueously feeds lies to keep it that way. Independant thought is not welcomed.
Even if we were to go in and free these people...they would not grasp that freedom well at all...it would almost have to be another dictator or politcal group who understands the mindsetr of the people. They need to be told what to do..they have no sense otherwise. Rather like an abused wife who has no clue what to do once she is free from her tormentor.
