    diplomatic and nonmilitary strategies more favorably than those who could not. These strategies included imposing further economic sanctions, increasing pressure on China to influence North Korea and conducting cyberattacks against military targets in North Korea.

    Absolute fucking scum bag journalist. In what world are cyberattacks on military targets and economic sanctions “diplomatic”? It goes to show how the western mind genuinely cannot see “enemies” as humans and thinks nothing of inflicting harm upon them.

    This journalist should be shot. And so do all the people who want more sanctions.

      There’s been a study in the Lancet about how unilateral sanctions cause comparable deaths to bombing the country. A key finding was that this only goes for the kind of sanctions imposed by the US that specifically aim for cutting the population off from food, medical supplies etc. to stoke unrest and incite regime change, not for the kind of sanctions that are used by the UN, which specifically exclude goods the people need for their survival.

      US sanctions are designed to be an act of siege warfare.
