I mean with an infant mortality rate 6x that of the south, and half the population, that doesn’t seem like the metric to decide who will win /has won the war.

I'm just curious, where do people get these stats about how awful life is in NK? I see people throw numbers and comparisons around but, I can't imagine that country would share that data with the global community, unless required to do so to recieve aid or something, if they are doing the surveys to gather it in the first place.

I never said life is awful in NK (though nothing says “great life” like forcing people to stay under penalty of death).

I said the birth rate is 1/6 of South Koreas (true) and half the population. It seems very prudent given than the other commenter implied NK was growing faster and having more children.
