How North Korea Became So Miserably Poor

LTC Eugene Chu North Korea was not always such a miserable country, nor did it always have the levels of extreme poverty that it now suffers... In fact... there was a time when North Korea was seen in the socialist world as a kind of model of socialism...and South Korea... on the other hand... as a poor and corrupt blot on the capitalist world.

North Korea even went so far as to donate food to South Korea... something that... seen with today's eyes... seems totally crazy. At the time... North Korea was much richer than China and its economy was industrializing. One day... however... everything changed. In this video we tell you about North Korea's fall from grace.

All controlling communist regimes fail eventually, either through economic downfall or domestic turmoil.
Kim's pursuit of war fighting weapons of mass destruction have led to this economic downfall. His firm grip on the throats of the peasants will ultimately lead to a coup. His killing of high ranking military officers might stave off a coup attempt, but there are always others that follow the lead of the ones taken out.

They remind me of Albania. Albanian's leadership was always saying that Albanian was about to be invaded.
