Harsh UN sanctions designed to reduce DPRK $ for its nuclear program decimates NK jobs & economy - but UN doesn’t care one bit. Many overseas workers WANT the work = $ + travel - but UN calls it “modern-day slavery” & human rights abuse. Here’s the real “human rights abuse”:

Good jobs and a thriving economy are essential for people in any country. Yet a paranoid UN/US & Western countries fear DPRK’s nuclear deterrence so much they have to kill all the jobs and strangle the economy of DPRK to reduce $ they’re that paranoid.

The DPRK is a sovereign socialist state that signed the Armistice in expectation of signing a peace deal. They got instead the US sending nukes to ROK breaking the Armistice. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. So DPRK nukes up and has the right to defend itself

against nuclear threats made by the US. That’s the bottom line. The garbage that the UN spews is mire “human rights violation” than giving North Koreans JOBS overseas. Is migrant labor at $8/hr by Mexican laborers in the US “slave labor”? A real journalist would embed w/ NK

workers in Dandong or loggers in Russia for week and live, eat and talk with them to create a documentary. That’s the only way non-North Koreans would see up close the overseas NK worker experience. Yet journalism has died and I don’t trust UN reports which might be 50% true and

50% false. That doesn’t meet the standard. It’s like a COVID vaccine being only 40% effective. FDA says it has to be at least 50% effective. So the claim of NK “forced labor”/human rights violations is bunk to me. It’s an exaggerated claim that needs mire substantiated evidence.

It’s easy to judge a country you don’t understand and fear. The DPRK travels to the beat of a different drum. U wouldn’t believe me if I just told u but you’ll believe these videos 👆& 👇when I tell you that rock-n-roll is here to stay in North Korea. 🤩

The UN and US can hate on the DPRK till the Moon hits the Earth but the people of North Korea who love their country will do what it takes to survive, overcome the hardships imposed on them and keep their nukes in case the US tries anything. That’s the way it’s going to be.

Until the UN/US decides it’s better to coexist w/ a nuclear DPRK - and there’s a clear way to do it - this holding pattern will remain. The only entity having equal weight to nuclear deterrence is real peace (= committed path to eventual War-ending peace deal). DPRK won’t need to

develop its nuclear & ICBM programs any further if US accepted a DPRK using nuclear deterrence just to defend itself. However paranoia, hawks, defense contractors & lack of smarts can be insurmountable obstacles to ☮️. And of course if we don’t reach ☮️ there will be hell to pay.
