They had embassies? I figured their diplomats would defect at the first chance, as long as their families were with them.
Defect to the NK friendly country their embassy is in? I’m not sure how that would play out. They would probably just get deported back to NK where they will be punished. I’d bet a nickel that the diplomats are heavily watched as well.
Says one of the embassies was in Spain, so that wouldn’t be bad. I doubt they can travel with their families though for that exact reason.
You can be a refugee in a new country or part of the elite 1% in your home country. Probably an easy choice for most of them.
The poor in many developed countries probably have better food security.
Iirc that means 3 generations of your extended family must be put into labor camps.
It’s not run by normal people, it’s the elite and defecting would lose the status for all the family up to the 100th generation
And they use their diplomatic immunity to deal meth and spread counterfeit money to get some cash for their war machine.
In Berlin they simply ran a cheap hotel on the embassy property instead of a real embassy, no joke.
No joke, just fake. Lol

I have a bad feeling that they’re preparing for war…
Russia let out the ghost of war from its bottle. I hope all of this don’t end up in a 3rd world war.
End up? We’re already there, it just hasn’t been officially declared.
Tbh yeah - all you need is to do a bit of reading on the events leading up to WW2 - if this was in a book/movie I’d be saying “come on guys, that’s a little on the nose, isn’t it” lol
We’re in “lead up to ww3” part of the history books.
They might be, but the list of embassies that are being closed seems a bit strange for that:
Spain, Hong Kong, and multiple countries in Africa
I’d’ve thought they’d keep the African embassies open: it’s not like North Korea and Africa are going to war, they both have enough dislike of the West that Africa might sell supplies or diplomacy in a war, and it’s always useful to have back channels and diplomatic relations in a war. So why “multiple countries in Africa”?
No. At this point any significant aggression towards the south would lead to a quick end to the NK regime.
Boring conversation anyway. Luke! We’re gonna have company!
