    Commander William Adama : There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

    …the ones who should protect you, end up robbing you! It must be such a beautiful place NK.

    If the military is starving, that’s a real problem for Kim. You certainly don’t want the military to be too powerful, but you also don’t want them to suffer the same way the civilians are. They have the means to change things in a very quick way.

    They have the money to build bombs and nukes but not enough to feed their troops. Priorities are skewed.

    Y’know it’s only a matter of time before there’s a military or even state wide coup in NK. The conditions literally everyone outside of the Kim’s face can only be tolerated for so long, even in a tight dictatorship

    Kim Jong Un’s definitely got bigger issues than just looking tough on the world stagee.

    But hey, they got a new ballistic missile last month so a starving population must be worth it…

    I wonder what the North Korean people are going to do when the Kim dynasty eventually collapses and the reality of what’s been going on in the rest of the world finally reaches them.

  8. According to some defectors, they’ve always done that. That it’s gotten so bad thats it’s being noticed externally, that’s signaling something bad even by NK standards.
