I'm starting to love N korea. I can't quite figure out what KJI's angle is but he is either entirely devoid of a brain or crazy as a fox.

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.
It said the committee's calculation did not include the damage North Korea had suffered from sanctions after its first nuclear test in 2006.

I wonder if they'll take a check?

Sounds about right to me. Of course the US won't pay them, look at the Native Americans.

Seconded. There's a lot of contenders, but they're all amateurs compared to North Korea.

Stop talking smack about DPRK.

75 trillion? If the DPRK was in business for a thousand years it couldn't generate 75 trillion in GDP. In the Nork's case their domestic product really is gross. Funny how any country that has the words democratic, peoples, or republic in its name rarely demonstrates any remotely admirable substance of any of those terms.

That's a good one....

DPRK does make cigs. I don't know if they have oral tobacco there. It doesn't seem popular in Asia.
