Seriously... is this an article from the Onion? I hope N. Korea isn't wondering why they have no respect in the international community.

Cash-strapped North Korea has demanded the United States pay almost $US65 trillion ($75 trillion) in compensation for six decades of hostility.
The official North Korean news agency, KCNA, says the cost of the damage done by the US since the peninsula was divided in 1945 is estimated at $US64.96 trillion.
The compensation call comes on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the start of the 1950-1953 Korean War.
KCNA said the figure includes $US26.1 trillion arising from US "atrocities" which left more than 5 million North Koreans dead, wounded, kidnapped or missing.
The agency also claims 60 years of US sanctions have caused a loss of $US13.7 trillion by 2005, while property losses were estimated at $US16.7 trillion.
The agency said North Koreans have "the justifiable right" to receive the compensation for their blood.

No surprises here, Kim Jong Il just being the re he's supposed to be.
$65,000,000,000,000 !!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes this just has to make you laugh.
We need to just blow this bothersome country up and get it over with.
why does it say $65 trillion ($75 trillion)? Is the first part North Korean Dollars? Seems strange to me that they would call their currency "Dollars". Do they have a currency?
NK couldn't export a ham sandwich. You could buy the whole hole for $78.
I once watched an extensive do entary on the Korean Peninsula on PBS. It was 4 hours long and was mostly about the families divided by the border and how rare it is for them to be allowed to see one another.
Anyway...
The film obviously went deep into the NK situation. Showing propoganda films released before, during and after the war.
The NK government actually produced and distributed an infomercial on how to properly cook and eat grass.
Grass, like...the on your lawn. As food. From the government.
The fact that this regime even has a voice that is heard beyond its own borders is more acknowledgement than it deserves. When KJI2 dies, reunite the peninsula, by force if necessary. My vote, anyway.
they're probably making this required viewing in all NK schools, homes, and businesses. Kim Jong-Il is just shifting the blame to us to keep his countrymen from rioting in the streets against him as the cause of their misery.
Will someone please zerox off $75 trillion from the game of Life and send it to N. Korea.
Oh....
Anyone up to the challenge of how many cubic feet those $100,000 bills will need to equal $75 trillion?
why can't one of these countries nuke us already? get it over with
KJ Il would be a ing hilarious little bas if he wasn't a military dictator and didn't have nukes.
Was this an extended episode of Frontline or a National Geographic special? Any idea on the le of it? It sounds interesting. I'd love to see the propaganda on the Ryugong Hotel.
We should pull a Libya and just target this asshole and blow him up with a conventional air strike. I'm sure South Korea has reliable spies/eyes on the ground there. Laser designators,stealth bombers.
Game, Set, Match
Do that and the guys that are left unleash a huge conventional attack on Seoul which is like 30 miles from the border. Tens or hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians die. Game, set, match.
Not if you talk to them first. We do the dirty work. You don't pull the trigger. You are a world hero for not escalating. Welcome to 2010 with no sanctions.
I thought NK had nukes? You really want to risk them wiping South Korea?
I'm talking a pre-arranged coup. Military Assassination. Boom. No time to push a button. Next government (probably military) steps up. KJ Il problem solved.
Damn I miss the good old days.
Just talkin here.
What? Wait, didn't Madeleine Albright take care of this midget during the Clinton administration?
ing Democrats are diplomatic re s.
So what did the Bush administration do about him?
honestly i wouldnt be surprised if China invaded them first
They won't get the cash but Barry will certainly apologize for us all.
No doubt.
