What will ultimately become of North Korea? It seems so unstable,

>It seems so unstable
Western media has parroted this for at least two decades. It's hard to say anything about the stability of a country that publishes no economic data for outsiders and does not engage in public diplomacy.

North Korea is actually pretty stable these days. It has been for most of its history, only the 1990s were the bad years.

I suspect it will last as long as the ruling clique has the political will. It essentially operates as a mafia gangster state.

More information is seepimg into the north.

People have lost faith in the government since the 90s and there are allegedly tiny signs of dissidence.

The elite seem to be walking on thinner ice than usual.

That said for the most part life carries as usual there. Its fairly reasonable to expect the continuation of the status quo.

That said if it were to fall. South Korea would jump in immediately. The US would have to leave fairly quickly (assuming no conflict) in order for china to let this happen uncontested

Yeah, so stable that they had to assassinate Dear Leader's half brother here. That speaks of deep seated insecurity and paranoia.

Also, pic rel is a decent documentary about the average North Korean's life. I still don't know if Mansky smuggled tape past his chaperones or whether those gommie government gooks are too autistic to understand how they appear.
