        Export (lease) of slave labor to other countries is probably the main source of North Korean foreign currency. I've seen video evidence of NK slaves working in #Qatar, #Russia and even in #Poland. Former soviet Siberian logging camps are now operated by #NorthKorea slaves

        #NorthKorea They are no more slaves than are Filipinos going abroad to earn money. Many work in Russian forestry or Chinese restaurants and many DPRK women marry Chinese and emigrate. Educate that closed mind you have

        The Philippinos aren't owned by their government, they freely chose to sign contract for their labor. The North Koreans however are wholesale leased as slaves and do not get paid, unlike the Philippinos don't have the luxury of chosing to stay abroad or relocate on their own

        My girlfriend is Filipino. I challenge the accuracy of your comments, but in terms of North Korea they are recruited in DPRK by employment agencies just as Filipinos are

        The guy who owns FOX/GOP news owns the WSJ. Does he also give you folks daily instructions on what to cover?

        Kim sent NK citizens to work ouside the country and took most of their wages. But people still went. Was better to work and get some pay than to either work for no pay or not work at all. Sad choice to have to make.
