Russia supplies oil to DPRK as UN sanctions regime nears ‘collapse’
“While there is a debate about the effectiveness of sanctions, what we are now seeing is what would start to happen if the sanctions were removed,” said Byrne. “This is giving North Korea a very significant lift.”
oh no, anything but that
"I broke into your house and shot you and your wife! Yet you still survive. This is more proof that I should have shot you more, because you're dangerous!"
"While there is a debate about the effectiveness of sanctions, what we are now seeing is what would happen if the sanctions were removed"
That has the same energy as "I know that it's a racist pseudoscience, but it's still a useful theory so I'm going to continue to believe it" (Actual thing a libertarian said to me)
Imagine if china and Russia torpedo the sanctions regime, and North korea develops to become a reasonably prosperous state. Beautiful.
They were doing pretty well before USSR fell, I imagine now that there's open trade with Russia things will improve rapidly. Russia can provide them with everything they need in terms of resources, and they already have a powerful industrial base.

Lol it truly is. But i'm surprised people are even commenting against the pro west narrative. I don't usually read the comments, so I'm not sure if it usually happens there.
