    Very true. What is legal and illegal in a country always depends on what that country *decides* is legal or illegal. And since other countries have no sovereignty over another sovereign state, there is really nothing they can do about that. Even claiming they have sovereignty over another state is not done, because then every state could claim the same thing of another, inviting war without end. And that the sanctions don't work is pretty clear too. The base argument for the sanctions is already strange: N-K is being sanctioned because it has nukes, by the US...whom has nukes... errmm. So... basically they can have nukes, but no others may have them? Why isn't the US sanctioned and thrown out of SWIFT? Where are the UN sanctions there? How comes China, Russia, India, Israel, the UK, France, Pakistan, etc. aren't sanctioned until they're nuclear free? They ALL have nukes. There is no doubt about that. So why aren't they under a truckload of sanctions until they denuclearize? How comes the US arbitrarily decides whom does and doesn't may have nukes? Do they have a mandate from heaven? Or is it rather because they're the only ones that can flex both economically and military to get their way? They then demonstrate that other countries don't need nukes because they... invade countries that have no nukes, while they don't invade countries that do have them. Hmm... Interesting strategy... I know we don't want to see this truth, and act as if it's all the paranoia of a crazy leader, but from his stance, Kim is absolutely right: as has been proven over and over these last 3 decades, the West doesn't hesitate to invade any country it deems it needs to, if they don't have nukes. As said, one has only to look at Iraq (twice), Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Panama, Somalia, Haiti, Liberia, Yugoslavia, East-Timor, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, etc., etc. All done - and many more - by the US, these last 3 decades alone. In fact, the US interfered, attacked or invaded more foreign sovereign states than any other country in the world. That's a fact, but no self-reflection is done about this. Also: they didn't invade Russia as they did with Iraq - even with the Ukraine war. Why? Because Russia has nukes. Think about it: the US and many in the West attacked Iraq on the false pretext of it having "weapons of mass destruction", but the irony is, if Iraq HAD had nukes, the US would never have invaded in the first place! Just think about it for a second. If Iraq really would have had, say, 100-200 nuclear warheads on ICBM's, and were willing to use them when being invaded - it's extremely unlikely the US would have risked an invasion. Facts: nukes are the great equalizers of any war and the ultimate deterrent, and we won't risk invading any such country even when we otherwise might. We should have the honesty of acknowledging that. If N-K had oil, no nukes, and no backing of China, we might already have invaded them by now. That's the hard truth of geopolitics, and it's time "realpolitik" sinks in again, because our politicians seem to wallow in delusions. They sanction a country so it can not survive by any normal means, and then act all morally outraged when that country goes into criminal activity due to the sanctions they imposed on it... C'mon. Such hypocrisy. And let's see here... they've been sanctioning N-K since 1958, even long before the nukes. So what has more than seven decades of sanctions really done? Nothing to impede the nuclear development, and nothing to prohibit the elite from living in luxury. The only thing it managed, is to make it even more hard for the average citizen in N-K to survive. It should be clear to any sane person these sanctions do not work, and another, more diplomatic way should be followed. Yes, N-K will never abandon his nukes, just like the US will never abandon them. But one might mutually reduce them, and set some safeguards up (non-proliferation) in equal measure and in reciprocity. That would be more fruitful than going on for another century of sanctions.

    @@AniMageNeBy Great answer. You have to realize that relations with countries also matter. If the US just nuked anybody who went against them they'd probably receive alot of backlash from other countries...but then again we're witnessing what's happening with Ukraine and I'm sure there would be shame but I'm also not too sure about what would actually happen to the world's strongest military if they chose to extinguish a country... Yeah I think when you view international relations between countries your realize how every country is sort of just in it for themselves and it's all just a power game with political posturing to appeal to their citizens and the countries they want to appeal to.

This economy is directly controlled by Kim jong-un, and ran out of office 39. North Korea unofficially trades directly from China via rail and trucks. They also trade with Russia as well unofficially.

    Well...as long as we sanction them so that they can't have alternative income through normal trade and the like, it's a given they will continue criminal activity to get money. I'm not sure where the surprise and the moral outrage comes from. I mean, if you prohibit any people from trading or buying or selling, and deem it illegal when they do, you're bound to see they're going to be engaging in "illegal activity". If you make it illegal today to breathe, we all will be criminals by tomorrow. How does that strike anyone as odd? In fact, the US tried doing something like this with the Prohibition. Result: millions of citizens became engaged in "illegal activity". In the end, they had to revert the whole prohibition thing back, of course, but there is no doubt all those "criminals" were a direct result of the prohibition-laws *making* it illegal.

So roughly it is the base of the Western economies,in fact the robbery of the rest of the world. NORTH KOREA IS NOTHING OF ALL THAT,and that is why the US and their puppets impose sanction in order to cause as much hunger,disease,poverty,rebellion, etc. Really those people from the west are wonderfull including you.

    The sanctions are in place because they won't share their wealth with their own citizens. Take away the sanctions and North Korea will continue as it does today. You must understand the cultural significance of this. For the Regime this is a generational punishment. Those that suffer are offspring of land owners and have been promised a continuing life of misery, not just for them but for their children and their childrens children. An eye of an eye leaves the whole world blind. That is North Korea.
