Russia has started supplying oil directly to North Korea in defiance of UN sanctions ⠀
“For the past seven years, Pyongyang has had to pay a high premium for the oil products it needs, as it relied on a complex and expensive network of criminal brokers and mid-sea ship-to-ship transfers,” said Go.
“But now, it appears it has secured a steady supply of oil either at a heavy discount or as direct payment for the munitions it is supplying to Moscow,” he added. “That is going to free up resources for North Korea’s armed forces and its nuclear weapons programme.”
You mean the country that the US killed 20% of the population and destroyed all infrastructure of? Then proceeded to sanction to hell because it dared to not be capitalist and allow the US’s capitalist class to extract from it?
Every day the US regime — the most warmongering nation in the world that’s currently committing a genocide in Palestine right now — survives is a crime against humanity. What has the DPRK done other than trying to survive under the brutal US sanctions that does nothing but harm its working class population?

So are you concerned about the people in the DPRK then? You realize sanctions do nothing but harm those people right?
Or do you think the supposed dictators of the country would take the damage from the sanctions instead of pushing it onto the working class population?
They do realize sanctions do nothing but harm.
That’s their cruel point.
Ok, I agree the us is fucked up in many ways just like the next person. But NK doesn’t need any help in harming its working class.
Yet the US is doing a great job at that with its sanctions that do nothing but harm that working class.
