waking up to tucker and n.korea being voice of reason while democrats are campaigning for pouring napalm on fire started by extreme right wingers of a genocider cult nation.
man everyday seems like world has become an absurdist drama. the obama years seems like they never happened
DPRK has always been the voice of reason though.
Which is why the USA will be emulating their economy ๐
While there is something understandable about partially wishing for it, I don't think anyone is going to lead a genocidal strategic bombing campaign against the United States to level every manmade structure taller than knee height before promptly having 95% of the planet embargo them for 75 years, so I doubt the US can emulate the DPRK's economic situation too well.
That level of isolation is the goal. Economic joke.
You're right, Burgerland is an economic joke that's becoming economically isolated globally.
I don't even understand what you're insinuating. The DPRK's goal is to be sanctioned? They wouldn't be doing things differently if they weren't sanctioned? You know they violate the sanctions constantly, and often it's just to do some small amount of normal trade, right?
I don't like Juche, but the point of it in this context isn't to avoid trading with countries, and indeed to considers it better to be able to trade with countries. The goal is to be able to survive not being able to trade in the case where that's the unfortunate reality, something that was only solidified by the experience of the Arduous March. Strategically, it is obviously something they should be maintaining and one of the main reasons they survived.
