Their actions and practices are wrong, inhumane, etc, but to me that is their problem. They have made more than enough threats to the entire world for it to be clear that they're not interested in working together or receiving any kind of aid. I feel like if they did decide to work with us, it would only be to get close enough to attack and take control. As bad as citizens are treated there, the dictatorship clearly controls everything and citizens aren't willing to fight and have any kind of power.

I believe that NK should be granted sovereignty because they pretty much already have it anyway. Although there is a United Nations and many efforts to collaborate between countries, NK does their best to remain private. Who are we to go over there and control anything when we can't even maintain control of everything in our own country??! We want so badly to look like the best country because we have so much opportunity and offer so much help, and of course the amount of opportunity does make it the best, but if there are issues at home, why go out and get into other people's business? So I believe North Korea should be granted sovereignty because what they do isn't our business as long as we aren't impacted; it sounds selfish but that's the exact same way other countries feel regarding our issues. ]]> 2018-01-25 16:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmoolababy60/northkorea/wish/224717370 jmoolababy60 https://padlet.com/jmoolababy60/northkorea/wish/224718353 https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/kn.html
