Americans love doing everything in extremes. We have more super morbidly obese people than pretty much any other country but we also have one of the largest blocks of our population that is super into fitness. Most of the best bodybuilders are Americans for instance.
Hey, the Norks may have spent a decade milking South Korea for economic aid while developing nukes behind its back, but this time will surely be different because
It's not even that, it's dumb ass Trumptards on the internet that have no understanding of geopolitics, especially in relation to NK.
NK has had a primary goal of getting the US to take them seriously since at least the late 1980s. They've been trying to get a US president to do stuff like this since that time period, and no other president, democrat or republican was dumb enough to take the bait.
Then along comes Trump. It's just annoying listening to his know nothing, uneducated support base try to use this stuff as evidence of a victory because they clearly have no understanding of the situation.
Short answer, gives DPRK legitimacy at a high level. Which trenches the current regime, instead of isolating them financially and in geopolitics. It's not really bad per se but it is a silly tee up for Kim's propaganda apparatuses.
Because it gives NK a sense of legitimacy. It rewards them for the things they've been doing for 30 years now.
It says "you can stomp your feet, threaten nuclear war on a weekly basis, fire off artillery attacks at south Korea, kidnap the citizens of other countries and you'll be rewarded with a seat at the big kids table."
It glorifies a dictator, it creates a media circus around said dictator and gives Asian Hitler exactly what he wants.
There can be no gain from this, which is why no other president was dumb enough to take the bait. No expert on NK thinks this is a good idea or will do what Trump thinks it will do. It does nothing but hand a dictator propaganda material.

they've been stopping that, continually isolating them is just going to get them do it again

It's North Korea, they could easily fake a story like this and give it to the people if they wanted to.

No, they fucking haven't stopped. NK operates in cycles, this is not anything new, they're acting the same way they've been acting for most of recent history.
It's like when they failed a nuclear test and had to shut down the site and then got Trump to think they were shutting down the test site as a sign of good faith. Do you even remember that entire fiasco?
When Trump went over there, played make believe and then declared he had solved the NK problem? That he had disarmed North Korea? And his base then ran around reddit claiming he should get a Nobel peace prize? Say, how did that turn out again?
Yeah, what could be wrong with granting Asian Hitler legitimacy.
It's North Korea, they could easily fake a story like this and give it to the people if they wanted to.
And this is spoken like someone that has not even a basic comprehension of NK. Hint: it isn't as closed off as you think and the population is fully aware of what is going on. They have black markets, DVD players, access to western movies and TV. You can only keep people isolated for so long, especially in the era of smartphones that can be easily smuggled in.
No, they fucking haven't stopped. NK operates in cycles, this is not anything new, they're acting the same way they've been acting for most of recent history.
They haven't done anything yet, right now it is just speculation.

So whenever North Korea isn't doing something bad it has to be because they have ulterior motives?
When Trump went over there, played make believe and then declared he had solved the NK problem? That he had disarmed North Korea? And his base then ran around reddit claiming he should get a Nobel peace prize? Say, how did that turn out again?
I don't care what Trump says, it didn't actually make anything worse.
Yeah, what could be wrong with granting Asian Hitler legitimacy.
Strong comparison, I don't see anything wrong with it, given the lack of legitimacy is what makes North Korea do things like blow up a commercial airliner
Go watch any number of documentaries filmed from within NK by people that smuggled cameras in and gave them to NK citizens so they could film their lives.
I've watched many documentaries and the people there seem happier than in South Korea
i expected it to be poor, but poor people can still be happy, i want to see if those people are happier with their simple life than people in south korea
That's a question with no clear answer. Would a population living in abject poverty but with an unlimited access to euphoria-inducing drugs be considered a better society?
I guess you're right, but I still think North Korea's traditional life style and family values lead to live happier lives than South Koreans who have abandoned that

Americans are ironically gross. They’re either spindly with twig arms or so fat you can’t even recognize they’re human. CMV
1 bebackinanhourorso 2019-06-30
Nah the internet is just saturated with shitty Americans that other countries can just scate by and feel we have the high road.
I'd put up Bogan Australians and be confidant we'd out trash Americans 9 x out of 10.
1 bussylmao 2019-06-30
Also Canadians
1 bebackinanhourorso 2019-06-30
Canadians really? Doesn't surprise me though, every country has them, America just floods the market.
1 Pepe_von_Habsburg 2019-06-30
Yeah Canada has trashy people, but America has 10x the population, so 10x the trashy people.
1 bebackinanhourorso 2019-06-30
I've just been looking at Canadian white trash but I can't tell the difference between Canadian trash and American trash.
1 Pepe_von_Habsburg 2019-06-30
Canadian white trash is more inbred than fat imo, while it’s the other way round(heh) with American trash.
1 bebackinanhourorso 2019-06-30
Nah youse are the exact same amount of trashiness. No other country can tell you cunts apart.
1 Pepe_von_Habsburg 2019-06-30

The only advantage Americans have over the British is good teeth. And somehow more combined brain cells.

Happiness and satisfaction are conditioned behaviors.
1 Kiru-Kokujin44 2019-06-30
Sure but if the conditions of North Korea make them more likely to be happy and satisfied are these conditions not better?

Perhaps, but that's more of a fact that traditionalist poor countries tend to have high happiness ratings overall, such as Nigeria.
