    It’s undeniable that the embargo is responsible for quite a lot of economic suffering in North Korea while only strengthening the Kim monarchy’s grip.

    It’s also undeniable that the South Korean government eventually reformed their way out of fascism.

    Would that have strengthened the Kims, or would they be more like the modern Vietnamese government? Or would they just have been annexed by the PRC?
