Also, the fact that he looks like a nice person is nothing more than a part of the foreign propaganda of North Korea.

Power is addictive. Jong Il fell victim to it.
With a leader like Kim, North Korea is not "self sufficient". He draws all the money and power to himself. Millions of people literally starve to death while he eats full course meals on his private cruiser. And while he's doing that, those hungry people have to praise him everyday, bow before his portraits every day, or they will be sent to labor camps or even to their creator.

It's a weak country, and therefore does rash things, such as the Nuclear threat. I could go on like this.., but really, do you honestly think that country doesn't deserve sanctions?

But why did the world Sanction you Mr Kim Jong. He seems like a nice man. Doesn't show any sign of hostility and Sanctions can only lead to a nations economic downfall which can't be good for world trade.
North Korea is a meant to be a good investment.
So what does it mean. Does it mean you produce nothing to improve the world and your neighbours please give me room to understand. Becuase this economic crisis I understand must hurt me some how after all your a world nation that buy products even its from a nation that this nation sells to. So I am interested who decided it was OK to Sanction North Korea and is their nothing of Interest of North Koreas production to the rest of the world to stop these sanctions. How do the people of North Korea live. Is North Korea self Sufficient enough.
