So that’s what Kim’s been up to. Us rednecks are fishing with dynamite and he is using ballistic missiles. Genius!

Maybe less sanctioning the absolute fuck out of them and let them actually be able to import vital resources such as food.

Legitimate food imports are not under sanctions

Has he tried not eating all the food in North Korea?

Food shortages? Well that predictably explains the uptick in saber rattling from them lately.

North Korea is interesting.
They’re an agrarian state essentially, yet simultaneously are bad at farming and have pretty much been depleting their own soil since the regime came into power.

They're a concentration camp posing as a country.

Which is weird when you think about it, because at the end of WW2, the north end of Korea was the rich industrialized part with steel mills, etc.

From what I’ve read it apparently to do with government mismanagement and badly thought out agricultural reform.
Apparently in recent years the government has been trying to find more and make more arable land and that rice production has been falling.

Sacrifice another missile into the sea to appease your western gods. That usually earns you a bit more aid

Maybe he can trade with the dozens of countries he's charmed over the years.
