      It’s a function of sanctions. Reason North won the original elections was they were doing better economically, and less corrupt. Sieged economies do poorly, and it makes rest of the world look good.

        Wow, trying to sell North Korea is almost admirable if it wasn’t just an agenda.

        Sure, living in a dictatorial hellscape labour camp must be so nice.
