yep?

2018-05-05 04:01:31 UTC  

Besides the whole nukes and western bullying

2018-05-05 04:01:40 UTC  

What do you think North and South korea will be doing now

2018-05-05 04:01:50 UTC  

Dabbing. Nah jk.

2018-05-05 04:01:50 UTC  

Sorry, that wasn't at all clear. You implying that the US has policed "idiots" left a terrible taste. You essentially called oppressed groups that have suffered tremendously thanks to US imperialism idiots. And that's not right at all.

2018-05-05 04:01:52 UTC  

Since they no longer intend to cut each other's throats

2018-05-05 04:02:02 UTC  

Probably doing as they planned?

2018-05-05 04:02:11 UTC  

Slowly take over skorea.

2018-05-05 04:02:21 UTC  

That's cutting the throat

2018-05-05 04:02:37 UTC  

well, assuming it wasn't all for show, there's a very real possibility that nkorea could collapse under capitalist pressure.

2018-05-05 04:02:52 UTC  

Of course there is a chance.

2018-05-05 04:03:11 UTC  

But, they have released US prisoners.

2018-05-05 04:03:28 UTC  

Even if it is for show, at least they got out.

2018-05-05 04:04:00 UTC  

yeah, fair point.

2018-05-05 04:04:21 UTC  

You think N-K would try to copy China in order to survive?

2018-05-05 04:04:32 UTC  

that's actually what i was typing

2018-05-05 04:04:35 UTC  

holy shit

2018-05-05 04:04:40 UTC  

Mm.

2018-05-05 04:04:47 UTC  

People have brought the possibility up

2018-05-05 04:04:52 UTC  

And what would that be?

2018-05-05 04:05:11 UTC  

possibly going all deng-y and allowing investment by foreign companies

2018-05-05 04:05:16 UTC  

of course, it would be a while

2018-05-05 04:05:37 UTC  

It still could wotk.

2018-05-05 04:06:44 UTC  

it *could*, but opening up to western influence seems to be the death knell for many a socialist regime

2018-05-05 04:07:24 UTC  

If they don't fix the economy.

2018-05-05 04:07:41 UTC  

We'll (US) will probably raid.

2018-05-05 04:07:43 UTC  

If they don't fix their food either.

2018-05-05 04:08:03 UTC  

They should ya know

2018-05-05 04:08:08 UTC  

even if they do, the US could always CIA them

2018-05-05 04:08:10 UTC  

Try to raise that living standard a bit

2018-05-05 04:08:24 UTC  

again, i'm not a big fan of the kims

2018-05-05 04:08:36 UTC  

And what of the Vietnamese?

2018-05-05 04:08:43 UTC  

If not the kims

2018-05-05 04:08:49 UTC  

Or the chins

2018-05-05 04:09:03 UTC  

they're privatizing a fair bit too

2018-05-05 04:09:32 UTC  

not a big fan of them either, but at least they aren't what appears to be a dynasty with a vice grip on power

2018-05-05 04:09:43 UTC  

To be honest I think Vietnam is fine the way it is now.

2018-05-05 04:09:49 UTC  

That would mean a "Socialist Market Economy". I doubt they will adopt the Chinese model, but it's definitely a possibility. Their economy actually isn't in as bad a shape as some would like to believe. In fact, Forbes published an article a little over a year ago I believe that talked about how the NK economy was booming, sanctions and all.

2018-05-05 04:09:49 UTC  

Like

2018-05-05 04:09:54 UTC  

It's not perfect

2018-05-05 04:10:00 UTC  

But it's not North Korea either
