what every decent North Korean citizen has been thinking for the past 20 years......You are a bit mistaken. In 1973 or 1974 I had to babysit a NK defector to hospital, dinner, haircuts, clothes etc. and he truly believed everything he had been told. He lived in a worker’s paradise, he was more educated, he had more rights than Americans, his clothing was superior, etc, etc. I hated the guy for his ignorance but did what I was told. I took him to a SK grocery store to get a pack of cigarrettes and he looked at all the food, merchandise, products, etc. and scornfully asked “But where do the REAL people shop? They can’t come in these staged stores, can they?” When he finally realized this WAS reality he almost was over come by shock. He would barely allow Dr.s, nurses, EMT’s to help him overcome his reaction. I was glad. I was off that detail.
It sounds like the Russian pilot, Lt. Belenko, who defected to Japan with a MiG so the Americans could get a look at it. When he reached the States and was taken shopping in the DC area, he freaked out. He could NOT believe the abundance, and that there were no armed guards to prevent looting.
If he was so privileged, why did he defect?
Why defect then?
Kind of like how I felt when I moved out of New York city to the real United States.
Anybody who tells it like it is about Cory Gardner can’t be all that bad.
Tons of Rebel flags flying proud at Talledega yesterday, beautiful sight.
If he really believed all that stuff... why did he defect?
