NORTH KOREA - BEST KOREA

[andy7666]

I hope the DPRK continues to foster good relations with neigbours in thier part of the World. Juche is a good ideology. IMO, while cooperation should be the day to day reality, total independance should be an option the DPRK can fall back on if relations or circumstance require - the West speaks of the DPRK as a "Hermit Kingdom" though this is certainly not the case & I wish my own nation (UK) truely was as "united" & as self sufficient! Big business has sold off our capability for production..

@andy7666  You think North Korea is "self sufficient" what bubble are you living in? If it wasn't for humanitarian aid from the US (their apparent enemy) and constant help from China propping up their dead economy North Korea would be in even worse state than it is now and that is saying something when they already suffer from massive starvation, stagnant economy and of course not forgetting the usual fear induced suppression of the people.

@andy7666 OH and I live in the UK too, the cleverest thing we ever did was get rid of the manufacturing industry and move into the service sector, otherwise we'd of been destroyed and thrown into a time warp like N Korea if we didn't change due to the rise of China, India and many other production countries. Now the UK has one of the most thriving service industries in the world and London is the financial capital of the world... which has helped us maintain a top 10 economy in the world.

@andy7666 Check it out this dude is definitely some sort of north korean propagandist who sits in some tiny unventilated basement cubicle going around the internet and posting positive comments about north korea while pretending to be from the UK!!!! Fascinating stuff. "Andy", if you can actually understand english, we in the west wish you nothing but the best and we hope you can escape the megalomaniacal dictatorship you live in! stay strong!
