My wife and I were talking about these camps yesterday. Given the state of propaganda as it is these days I'm not 100% sure I believe they exist. I'm not saying they don't but I'm not sure.
Supposedly North Korea has had these for a long time so why hasn't anyone from anywhere ever done anything?
Could it be that the world uses North Korea as a place to send their undesirables? Remember how Australia was a prison country once, now it's not so a new one would be needed. North Korea would be perfect for that...
Just a thought. I still think if these were real then there is a reason the international community hasn't taken action.
ETA: I'm an American and I do not support war with North Korea, definitely not using a nuke ever unless it's in defense and there is literally no other viable option.

When the USA starts executing people for having the wrong haircut, defacing pictures of the president or criticism of the president your argument will have a point.
When the USA imprisons 3 generations of a family as punishment for 1 individual you will have a point.
How do you know this as fact? Do you have access to North Korean law books or their "deathcamp" manifests?
Myriads of testamonies gathered from defectors over 30 to 40 years. Some being guards others being escapees. Testamonies all consistent, which does not happen with fake storys.
Plus North Korea follows the branch of communism of stalinism which they freely admit and part of that branch is concentration camps.

Why suddenly care now, why start caring when you never have before OP?

Let's say it's all true... should we go "liberate" over a million of them with death? Like we did in Iraq?

You might not have, but plenty have been caring for decades about this hellhole. I however am numb to the idea that anything will ever be done though. the hippy element will always demand they be left alone to torture, rape, and murder..because otherwise if the west takes them down, someone may be offended.
You can only speak for yourself.
You obviously haven't cared before, and no, you're not required to care now.

Whats the alternative?
Let it continue?
Think about it before you snap answer. Look at the culture, people, and fantastic lifestyle of the south koreans. that can be the north also if the regime ended. Isn't that a worthy goal?

Believe otherwise if you think I am wrong, that's fine

People don't realize that North Korea is a real security threat to the world and this isn't just some bully tactic. Sure they may have been all talk for the past 30 years, but 30 years is a long time to develop and the worst thing you can do is underestimate your enemy.

What business is it of ours? I don't want to be part of an empire. My loyalty is to my fellow countrymen.
Let the people in Asia sort that mess out.
And as far as the nuclear threat goes, I'd focus my efforts on our defenses and let him talk all the smack he wants to.
And again, I'd let the people of Asia sort that mess out.

Yes... for the people of North Korea, not us.

No, I have never seen this information before
It's not about caring, don't play the snowflake card,
There is a lot more going on and this is about justifying actions,
the US has never cared before.
Trump has undercut the NK coal economy from China, probably getting a green light in the deal to go in to NK.
