    When articles like this use the word “illegal” what does it even mean? Illegal for whom, and where exactly? Doesn’t NK as a country decide what is legal for NK, or am I being obtuse?

      Illegal via the UN like Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights.

        without enforcement, the legality of something means very little… like jaywalking on the street. no one’s going to stop you but it’s totally not kosher to do that - so everyone does it

          Going to have to disagree with you on no enforcement of jaywalking. I have seen that be enforced several times here in Seattle. One of those times may or may not have led to my arrest despite not being the one who jaywalked. I learned that many police have thin skin. You also need cash to post bail so if you are getting arrested and want out quickly, make sure to have $1000+ on you to do it.
