  1. North Korea, with a GDP of about $50B, about one-tenth the size of a large American city, could the the most influential country in the next 100 years, if they perfect their ICBM nuclear missiles and the rest of the world allows them to. With a "deadman's switch" on deploying such missiles, so if dictator Kim dies early they automatically deploy, and the ability not only to reach Tokyo and Seoul but also, soon, New York city, North Korea is poised for chaos. Sadly, I don't see anything short of nuclear weapon going off before the West acts. Let's just hope any nuclear bomb blast is in a remote part of the world and not that many people die.

  2. @7:36 the "export to other countries" as a drawback is belied by the USA, which exports even less than Japan.
