To all of those stories, they seem like strawmen. I've not heard anything that ridiculous. Just that NK is an authoritarian regime that rewards friends and family of the regime at the expense of the well being of the populace. Kinda like a red veneer over Saudi Arabia, similar system.
I didn't even ask why NK isn't allowed to participate. Why are you giving me an argument I didn't make?
nvm then, I'd assumed you were referring to those absurd stories that get republished by otherwise reputable news sources every few months.
Apologies, I didn't realize you weren't the guy who started this comment chain.
