Thailand intensifies sanctions on North Korea

[konying]

Good decision. I can only encourage sanctions on countries led by a dictator.

If you open your eyes you may realise most of the countries in the world are led by a dictator or dictators just dressed in a democracy skirt

It's good to see a military democracy taking these firm actions against the military dictatorship in North Korea.

The military here have never said this was a democracy and in North Korea the government is dominated by the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and has been since North Korea's inception in 1948.

At least in Thailand the military want to repair the democracy and reduce corruption and then move towards non vote buying multi-party elections which is a major part of democracy.

Nice catch rat

I don't believe for a minute that you can compare the two governments of Thailand and North Korea, ratcatcher.

Not a person with an intellect ability like yours.

Both military dictatorships. Pot & kettle?

I have but one question for you..... would you prefer to live in Thailand, or North Korea?

Reckon we all know your answer!

North Korea - probably the only country who does not care what going on outside its borders. I think, if all countries would do the same, we would have much less problems. However, I wish to visit this country and see how it looks. I have seen tours but their prices starts from 1500 EUR for couple of days

Two of the few military dictatorships in the world.

It's like a person who has a conviction for buggery of animals denouncing someone who has sex with dead dogs .

Well, that's a little harsh, but as an analogy, not 100% unfair.

[lostinisaan]

I can only imagine the nightmare the North Koreans are going through, without somtam!!!

Neither Somtham, nor access to all the "World Class Standard Schools" in this hub of educational institutions.

Let's all pray for them and stop working for two days.

The DPRK head of state, Kim Yong Nam, is not a military man and never was. Nor is Premiere Kim Jong Un, therefore the DPRK cannot be a military dictatorship.

Sure its close to being audaciously funny were it not so serious -

Both countries rule by gun
