Just listened to JRE #1691 with Yeonmi Park, a woman who narrowly escaped North Korea (NK) with her mother.

What an incredible story of relentless fighting for survival. In NK, the lower classes are starving to death. Average height is 4'6" because people are so mal-nourished. The government doesn't even let villagers collect their own poop to use as crop fertilizer; instead the government collects the poop to nourish their own crops. Hospitals re-use needles on patients, operate without anesthesia and death is as normalized as breathing air.
I've watched videos about how NK is "impossible" to escape nowadays, because the border is manned by armed guards with shoot to kill orders and many of the surrounding countries will immediately deport refugees back to NK.

Production flying cars are a thing now. Essentially a scaled up quadcopter with a bunch of safety redundant systems. Joby, Jetson ONE, BlackFly, XPeng, etc. etc. etc.
Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL)

Imagine what a well-funded, motivated Bitcoin billionaire could do. Set up a fleet of EVTOL aircraft to autonomously swarm North Korea and land in sparsely populated areas. With the cockpit open, any willing participant can jump in and escape to South Korea where they can start a new life.

The flight plan could keep low to avoid radar. A fleet of autonomous craft, some unoccupied can act as decoys and protect the ones that are occupied. Smaller DJI type drones could act as sacrificial shields against incoming projectiles.

What's that, people don't want to leave NK because they're brainwashed? Make this a regular thing that happens once a year on a random day. Then once a week on a random day. Then every day until every last North Korean is exfiltrated from the concentration camp country. More robots and more autonomy means human defenders will eventually lose stamina and let down their guard; Robots never tire.
