Now at its 60th year under the Kim dynasty's totalitarian rule, North Korea is now the most impoverished country in the world.
 
North Korea also experienced failed economic reform and multiple natural disasters in the 90s, resulting in a devastating lack of food supply that led to 2 to 3 million North Koreans starving to death.
 
Even after this travesty the North Korean government is still blinded by their obsession of nuclear weapons and missiles, wasting millions of dollars. Even to this day the North Korean government lies to their people and their soldiers that their country will soon rise as a formidable force in the world and everyone will get to enjoy warm rice and meat stews, living in nice tiled-roof houses.
 
With the international food aid halted by the North Korean government's provocative experiences, the North Korean government can no longer feed their army and people. Many of the soldiers are now actually leaving the army base and finding ways to earn food outside.

You little worthless piglet Kim Jong Un! Stop stuffing your own stomach and take a look at your poor people and give them some food!!

While it can be hard to see one person so obviously profiting from so many peoples suffering the fact is that NK would be in just as bad if not worse position under western 'democracy'.
Remember that a majority of the world lives in poverty and starves everyday, the financial system creates this suffering and that system is controlled by a small majority of people. Clearly Kimmy is just a very small player in that game.

Every nation has an interest in weapons and defense, I have never seen anything to suggest that they are obsessed. In fact they are much less involved and obsessed then almost every other country, they certainly spend the least on military.
