Believing Trump would be a president of peace is just being gullible.
MAGA and the far-left both supporting Russia’s genocide of Ukraine and North Korea’s many human rights violations is just proof that the horseshoe theory is correct.
Far-"left"
Do you suppose making conditions worse for everyone in NK has been successful in curtailing human rights abuses?
Their leader is fat off coke and cheese. He is the one that makes life for them difficult at this point.
I’m not educated enough in geopolitics to fully answer that question but I do know that North Korea already severely restricts information that flows in and out of the country which makes it hard to know if the sanctions even have an impact on their citizens.
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.
Can you cite exactly what America or any other western country has done specifically, like even just ONE thing, to make conditions worse for everyone in NK? Like I can google the sanctions, they seem pretty targeted at the elite, and over some pretty good reasons.
If we discount dropping napalm on cities during the war? Or timing military drills to coincide with the harvest and planting seasons to pull farmers away from the fields for self-defence?
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.
