My co-worker believes the DPRK is a uniquely evil and incompetent state that is in a constant state of famine. They are the most failed and corrupt state.

I told him that DPRK has been incredibly fucked over historically and has been punished on every front for the crime of existing.

Does anyone have any good info I can arm myself with? Or help at articulating something that might get through. He's very much a 'facts and logic' type of lib.

    North korea is such a poisoned topic. It's much easier to talk about NK's history than what the country is like today, so just focus on that and be honest that there's not much info about NK today because it's so isolated and that western sources are untrustworthy.
