Nordkorea - bisarrt, fascinerande, sjukt

Right now, North Korea is undergoing the most sweeping structural change in its 70-year history.

“Kim Jong-un’s efforts to implement policies that are centered on developing North Korea’s productive capacity are moving in a direction consistent with laudable changes that the outside world has long urged North Korea to make,”

“If the US continues to insist on maintaining sanctions because of the prolonged breakdown of the denuclearization talks, that’s likely to erode North Korea’s willingness to open up its economy.”

“Is it really desirable for us to erode Kim’s willingness to open up the economy? The fate of the Korean Peninsula hangs in the balance, and we need to give careful thought about how to resolve the UN’s contradictory sanctions,” before the window of opportunity closes.”
