Bare in mind this is the same thing we hear about states like Cuba. obviously some people come and go from the country, but unless you are someone important traveling on official business or being sent to work as a logger over the russian border, your average north korean has a 0% chance of leaving the country without sneaking over the border and being branded a traitor

the border of the country they've been at war with for three generations? you know south korea doesn't let their people cross the other way too, right? up until covid they had an regularass border with china (that they may have already reopened? idk) with migrant workers and restaurants in china and everything i mean i certainly wouldn't want to live there or anything, but the korean war is still ongoing, we only have an armistice. lol the state department got so mad at trump for trying to broker a peace agreement

the only way the korean war will be allowed to end is the south taking it over and having it as a client state

This is legal with stop signs in Idaho, hence it's called the "Idaho stop"
