So this article just detailed for north korea government how people are smuggling. Which means people are going to be found and killed.

How is this a good idea? This is people's very lives.

If even one person is executed over this, do the journalists just shrug and go browse amazon some more or wander around the mall?

If you want to expose North Korea, expose the government, not the people desperately trying to survive.

I love how we are freaking out about Iran, meanwhile North Korea makes Iran look like disneyland and actually HAS nuclear weapons AND missiles they can be attached to. The deep hypocrisy with only caring about Israel is thick and deadly.

The article is generalities. Don't you think the government would already know all that? If the government had caught and interrogated even a single smuggler or a single person who'd received foreign goods, they'd know far more specific information than this article gave.


The NK not only knows about that smuggling, but also probably takes cut of the profits from it.

I think it (should) work both ways. By having it exposed (which I believe the NK govt know already), probably some sympathetic people smarter than me could come up with a better solution.


They already know. When they catch people, they have ways to make people tell them anything.
