Awesome find.

I really find that North Korea is tragic. The combination of the governments ability to clamp down on its citizens and their access to the outside world makes them believe that they are one of the wealthiest countries on the planet. At the same time, they are desparate for Aid but most of the Aid goes to the party elite. There's no chance for a counter revolution there because of the years of war that have already occured on their own civilians.

Its funny that Stalin, and Mao and all of the other communist leaders at the time absolutely hated the dynastic system in place there and had a strong dislike for the elder Kim but actively competed with each other for his affection.

That country will eventually become a barren graveyard with very few survivors.
