NHK reported the other day that the money North Korea has spent on its rocked and nuclear bomb tests in the last few years has been enough to buy enough corn to feed the entire population for three years.
Elsewhere I read that North Korea's GDP is $40 billion. Samsung's annual sales are $220 billion, a factor 5.5 times larger. Imagine Samsung trying to develop missiles and nuclear weapons. South Korea's GDP is $1.1 trillion. - Jed
