“Obviously the DPRK is just killing all of it’s citizens left and right how else would you explain their… checks notes wait their population has increased by how much since the ceasefire? No…No… this can’t be- OH MY GOD THE DPRK HAS CLONING TECHNOLOGY!!” - Some liberal probably (Hint: It has more than doubled, and thats even during the famine after the USSR collapsed. Growth slowed down, but didn’t stop during it. They grew in population slightly more than the south, 2.58x vs 2.6x since the war ended, and while they are slowing down they are still growing even now. Meanwhile Occupied Korea is facing demographic collapse.)
Cloning? That’s a new one. I thought it was Juche Necromancy - they kill people and then resurrect them the next day. (Wonder if they can bring Lenin back after all these years. We still need him.)
