It would be nice to see them figure out how to support not starving some country for the purpose of weakening them for a future coup or invasion for like 5 minutes until Trump does the opposite of that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 23 child comments replies: [–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world [S] 13 points 2 months ago (6 children) Believing Trump would be a president of peace is just being gullible.

If North Korea allowed them to talk to other people and travel unrestricted and gave them the choice if they wanted to continue that family’s experiment or not I’d have an easier time supporting them. permalink fedilink source parent [–] architect@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 months ago Their leader is fat off coke and cheese.

Or timing military drills to coincide with the harvest and planting seasons to pull farmers away from the fields for self-defence? I can google the sanctions, they seem pretty targeted at the elite They ban NK from buying oil, industrial equipment, or selling any of their resources. This is the same play we ran between Iraq pt I and II, after destroying their infrastructure and then restricting them from being allowed to buy the parts to repair it on the international market. Ostensibly the justification is to cause as much suffering as possible so the people overthrow the government and we can replace it with one who will sell out their people's resources and labor. permalink fedilink source parent [–] yucandu@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (15 children) Believing that North Korea's working class is starving because of Western sanctions instead of an authoritarian dictatorship is the result of Chinese propaganda. Like look at the timeline of the sanctions. They're a hell of a lot more recent than the starving. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 15 child comments replies: [–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 5 points 2 months ago (14 children) The sanctions go back to the war, the famine after the war were due to having most of they buildings destroyed and 20% of their population killed. They restarted after the USSR fell and they lost their biggest trading partner, same story with Cuba. What's the alternative story here, that Kim Jong Un eats all the food?
