Millions of NorK lives? You seem to forget that nature’s way of dealing with humanity’s ability to somewhat buck the natural order consists of the following: Pestilence, Natural Disasters, and War.

Famine is sort of in there but in the modern world where we can ship food from across the globe to feed the hungry its not as much a factor as it once was. Disease we’ve also got a bit of a handle on, at least for the last 80 or so years and still do for the time being.

That leaves natural disasters and war. We’ve seen nature make use of Tsunamis and Earthquakes a good deal. Then we have war, WWI & II took a tremendous toll on the population of Europe and Russia. Vietnam was hard on the Vietnamese, and Iraq/Iran war was pretty hard on both of those nations.

Also I’m not a fool who doesn’t value my own life over that of those that would harm me and mine. My life and that of my family & friends is more important to me than millions of NK who blindly follow a pudgy megalomaniac.
