NORTH KOREA

The North Korean regime has been kept going for years by generosity and charity from the West. Like many African countries over the years (current top of the list are Zimbabwe and Somalia), this dictatorship would probably have disappeared long ago if the misguided generosity of the West did not keep the population alive. It now seems that this aid is finally running out. It's appalling that it has to happen, but if they treated their own people better to start with then it wouldn't be necessary in the first place. Yes unfortunately people will die, but perhaps it will help remove the regime if the people do become disaffected and turn on their leaders. Perhaps fewer may die in the long run.
