The sanctions go back to the war, the famine after the war were due to having most of they buildings destroyed and 20% of their population killed. They restarted after the USSR fell and they lost their biggest trading partner, same story with Cuba.
What's the alternative story here, that Kim Jong Un eats all the food? That being "aUtHoRiTaRiAn" means he would rather rule over a starving populace than buy fuel for the tractors?
He is fat and always spending cash on stupid parades and American celebrities so…yea not far off to assume he’s that fucking stupid.
Yes, the fan man had nothing to do with multiple failed 5-year plans because implementing a command economy is historically such a successful endeavor.
What the soviets and cpc have accomplished with central planning is undeniably remarkable.
Imagine what Cuba would look like if the Free Market decided who got to eat and receive medicine when there is barely enough food for the population due to the recently intensified blockade.
