The most important claim I think he made was that north koreans are starving.

Source?

Who are they even fighting?

They are still at war. The U$ occupies half the peninsula.

Why does Kim's family still get to live a lavish lifestyle?

Who says he is?

Are you trying to argue that North Koreans aren't starving?

How does the US occupy half the peninsula?

Do you think the Kim family isn't living a lavish lifestyle?

How does the US occupy half the peninsula?

The U$ military occupies South Korea to block reunification.

I'm not going to prove your arguments for you - that's your job.

Or are your arguments based more on a vague cloud of propaganda than on fact?

All you need to do is source your claims.

The Koreans I know don't want "unification" because North Korea is not a country they recognize as "the same" anymore. Maybe 50 yrs ago but that's over a generation ago.

Also they think NK is a shithole.
