How does a country like Nort Korea seem to have endless money for its army and develop nuclear weapons despite being one of the most sanctionned country in the world?
In: 1447
The main thing to remember about sanctions is they are basicalaly commands from one country to all of its allies to not trade with certain nations in certain things.
So…what happens if there are nations that are NOT the allies of the nation issueing sanctions?
Well they can do whatever they want.
In short, while NK’s economy is awful and the people have worms and stuff because they have to use human feces as fertilzier…the country still engages in plenty of trade and interrelations with other nations and THEIR economies becasue there is a considerable portion of the planet that frankly doesn’t care for if not outright hate the USA and its western block of allies.
That 2 of those nations are direct neighbors of them, China and Russia, helps a LOT.
