That's how much North Korean needs to fix its hole of a country.
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;22868600]Eh. You rarely hear about America/Allies doing stuff to North Korea from the news. You mind posting some events for me?[/QUOTE]
The USA took part in a civil war on Korean soil. All US losses in Korea are a result of the US having troops in a foreign country, fighting against people native to that land. Without US intervention, the war would've been over very quickly, and the North Korean Army would've been victorious. Thus their claims for compensation are justified, unlike any US claims for compensation.
we are in debt for $13 trillion and growing lol

Well that's not surprising.
We forcefully split korea and dissolved the unified (although communist) government for no one's interest but our own. Communism was very popular in korea, and we had to literally create south korea's political right wing. To do that, we installed an unpopular, westernized, war-mongering korean dictator named Syngman Rhee and launched a campaign of repression on south korean communists. In collaboration with the US army, the south executed tens of thousands in mass killings, conducted mass arrests, and many more without fair trial.
In the korean war, we utterly ruined the north through our bombings and [url=http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/peopleandpower/2010/03/201031761541794128.html]even practiced chemical and biological warfare on the north[/url]. Hundreds of thousands of civilians killed, and industry that vastly outdone the south's, and who north koreans worked so hard to build, was decimated.
In our occupation, we allowed korean colonial collaborators to assume administrative positions within the military government because they were already experienced at managing the country. Later, we permitted the fixed elections that preserved the far-right's grip on the south.
We have done so much to affect korea that any change in course that meant an independent, unified, neutral Korea would be incredibly alien to us.
I do not find any of this surprising, if you were going to ask. The cold war brought out the dirty, far-right, and imperialist side of us. Our only goals, boiled down to it, was to defeat the communists. Anything else, including civil liberties and human rights, the things we repeat so much in rhetoric but evidently cannot respect, are second priority.
EDIT:
Also I don't believe this constitutes 75 trillion in compensation. This is nothing short of a political stunt no doubt wanted to be done by the stupid 'dear leader' himself.
It's obvious that the US needs to help North Korea wage war against the US since no one else is going to.
Oh fucking you North Korea.
Ahahaha. Pull the other one!
This is the best thing I've heard all day.
Glorious leader is smart and knows money holds together capitalist pig countries!
Long live Glorious Leader!
That's where communism leads you!.

I would pay to see Obama phone Kim Jong Il and simply shout "Fuck you, you idiot peasant."

Give them Zimbabwe dollers
North Korea is like the sitcom of the world. And it's getting repetitive, with the same jokes every time: "Give us dollarz or we go to war lolz". It used to be kind of funny, but now it's just gotten trite.
And the Middle Eastern conflict is like the soap opera!

The alternative would be all of Korea under NK's current government.
Shit, man. We'd better pay them. They got these!

Why do you think that is the only alternative? Both sides are committed to unification, but world politics gets in the way.
Give them 75 trillion dollars in play money.
Next North Korea will demand we give them ten thousand tons of nuclear material.
