South Korean media outlets estimate that there are around 100,000 North Korean workers in China, and between 3,000 and 4,000 in Russia, even though U.N. sanctions mandate that all North Korean workers were supposed to have been repatriated by the end of 2019.

Sources told RFA that the first groups of people selected for repatriation include people accused of crimes, the sick and infirm, and employees who have fallen out of grace with their companies.

Btw the order to not have them outside of the DPRK comes from sanctions because of their nuclear program, not because the DPRK is forcing them back.

It is antisemitic to equate valid criticism of the apartheid state of Israel with antisemitism.

That makes even less sense? He wasn't involved in the decision making process?

Hey, just cause I disagree with their analysis doesn't mean I haven't read it.

For example, forming a secret vanguard party isn't the way to anarchism, and the Kronstadt rebellion wasn't the pinnacle of revolution, even though the Soviets fucked up their response to it.

And you would know what I'm referring to if you've read some of their main works.

You know they have a relatively open border with China right? They just don't let people leave into the southern almost dictatorship(their military is still subordinate to US pacific command)

Also if you had the US conducting the largest military exercise simulating an invasion on your border every year you'd want nuclear warheads too. Especially if they've previously killed 20 percent of Koreans total.

But hey… bring it on.

It is a self dunk to get combative when someone asks you what books you've read on a subject you're opining about
