North Korea's "Tower of doom"

North Korea has finally finished their so called “Tower of doom” A projected started in the late 80’s, but delayed in the early 90’s due to material and financial issues. Recently, the massive structure was completed but has yet to be open to the public. The estimated current cost of the building is around 2% of the nation’s GDP, or 750 million.

 

North Korea is just getting worse and worse… If it isn’t enough that they starve their citizens well paying off their military power, but they make stupid investments; such as this one towards products that will NEVER help their country. It almost seems like North Korea is trying to make the stupidest decisions before they end up going to war. That being said, this icon should help with the North Korean tourist service, if they ever end up getting tourists. And the income of the stay in this hotel should eventually pay itself off, if people in NK actually had money to spend. Overall; this was a very bad investment for North Korea in its current stance with the United Nations and with the world.
