A Plebe's Opinion On Handling The North Korea Situation With Smartphones

Disclaimer- My knowledge of N. Korea is limited to what I've read on Wikipedia, a handful of articles, a documentary on Netflix, a couple TED talks, and a Reddit discussions.

That being said, I think this is a golden opportunity the world to come together and, dare I say "liberate" a population who as been deeply oppressed and mislead.

We shouldn't be (not that all of us are) getting puffed-up and defensive about the threats issued from this isolated nation.

Analogously, this is a spoiled child with a loaded gun (it may or may not know how to use) issuing threats to a relatively educated and (hopefully) morally advanced crowd.

Again, this is a unique situation. History is full of decadent dictators (and their consortiums) throwing themselves into the fire for fear of losing the perverted and luxurious lifestyle they have grown accustomed to. However, at this particular moment in time, we have a world-wide network of near light-speed information (you may be aware this already, sorry) that allows us to communicate on an individual level, bypassing oppressive government wherever it is generated, and wherever it may terminate.

If first-world nations banded together, agreeing that this action would preempt a necessary evil... performing a strike on military and leadership targets with as much precision as technology will allow... next, air-dropping, supplies, and smartphones (if we can manufacture a ~$40 android phone to help spread information and create alliances it would be infinitely more ethical than firing millions of dollars in missiles at a population ignorant through its nature of disposition).

Yes, smartphones, connected by satellite network or not depending on feasibility. Pre-loaded with a startup video-message showing the world; showing other country's support and demonstrations of humanity and acceptance. Something along the lines of the Voyager Message... after all, we are basically dealing with an Alien race by way of isolation. These supply packages (with and without a phone) could be generously spread through populated as well rural areas and countryside... finding them possibly giving people a preoccupation other than typical anarchy shenanigans until help arrives by land.

There will be chaos, fighting over power and resources... luckily, people have an inherent tendency to spread information, whether they believe it or not. Whatever military force and expense has to be expelled in bringing some sort of order to the nation would have been dwarfed by the force needed to perform a typical, modern, overthrow... occupation, annihilation... whatever we may call it.

The holocaust is considered to be the gravest and foremost of modern genocidal tragedies perpetrated by humanity; and still, similar North Korean prison camps are well known and documented... tolerated.

We sit waiting for a flaccid regime to futily provoke a global force magnitudes of strength greater before inevitably condemning it's ignorant populace to a terrible and no doubt, lengthy demonstration of damning, one-sided warfare.

I'm open to any enlightenment, corrections, or disagreements anyone may have.. I'm 31 and I don't feel I've ever contributed anything to world... just thought this was an idea worth sharing.
