Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea?

You have obviously misunderstood me.

I was comparing the United States actions in the Korean War(1950s) to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. The mass civilian bombing campaigns, complete destruction of civilian infrastructure, manmade famine, widespread preventable disease, and imposed economic isolation are very similar between the two cases.

I am not comparing current-day North Korea to current-day Gaza, and I agree with you that would not be a good analogy.

  So your thesis is that the 1950s war was inconsequential, and then you lay the entire blame on the Kim regime and their policies?
  
  My dude, how do you think the Kim regime became a dictatorship?
  
  Before the 1950s war, Kim was a weak puppet leader propped up by the Soviet Union. By the end of the war, the Kim regime had dictatorial power, which persists to this day.

  The issue as you see it:
  
  clings on to a pseudo-scientific economic ideology
  
  The prescription you suggest:
  
  pseudo-scientific economic ideology
