1. NK isn't well known for their ability to launch things far.
2. While the Western world always hated them, I suppose even China's shifting that way.
3. Yeah
4. Don't need an economy when you have forced labor.
5. Yeah
6. People already live shit lives in NK, and you pay your taxes or get to do forced labor.
7. Don't need to pay soldiers, food, water, shelter, and a job. Communist nation, remember.
8. To you. Stalinist Russia wasn't anything to brag about either, Stalin was revered almost as a god.
