A bizarre small brainwashed country with an equally bizarre leader. FFS how are they able to hold the rest of the world hostage for all these years? Am I missing something? Couldn't the US and allies pretty much level the entire country any time they want? Couldn't they unleash such a hellstorm that the country would be wiped out before they knew what hit them?

And if flattening the country isn't an option then why the heck isn't the rest of the world simply cutting them off completely? Nevermind that silly $1 billion in sanctions - cut them off from everything. Zero imports and zero exports. Same goes for the people - no one gets in and no one gets out. Try that and see how quickly North Korea comes to its senses. That countries like Malaysia and China continue to do business with that freakshow of a country is mind boggling.
