What the hell is north Korea doing in the Olympics anyway?

Competing like any other country.

Riight, north korea is a very oppressive country and they violate human rights, so why are they allowed to compete? Countries like Russia aren't allowed to.

The whole philosophy behind the Olympics is to temporarily put all other international geopolitics aside. Russia is only out due to their extensive cheating.
