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.





lmao good luck with this. Who's going to be the judge of this? Has this ever happened before? :laugh:

$65 trillion dollar law suit? Where Do I sign? I'm sure the US Government hurt me one way or another in the past 60 years....

Well, it has to have backing by gold or some other form of natural resource, otherwise other countries around the world won't see the dollar as something "worth it" - that's why $1 USD in some countries is worth more than $1000 in their currency because they just print money without having any backing.

The joys of a fiat money system. Money is worth what everyone claims it is worth. Technically we could claim 1 US Dollar = 5 million of every other currency. It'd be true but no one would do business...I'm with dirty here, lets give them monopoly money.

No country can make another country pay anything. The UN has no power, none whatsoever.

The only way to get the money would be for NK to declare war on the US and actually winning somehow and I don't see that happening anytime soon. They couldn't get out of the group stage in the World Cup, they aren't gonna get anywhere with war.

This is true. The main issue with the UN is for it to have power a country must submit to it. The US has also long provided the UN's power to enforce anything. So...they really can't do crap.
