The only thing sanctions do to a nation determined to do something the international community forbids is delay it. Nation states like North Korea, Saddam’s Iraq will not only drive their people into penury but into starvation. We are obviously are seeing it in Nork Land, Saddam partially did it. Mao’s China gave away the country’s grain supply for an entire year in order to acquire fissionable material & expertise from the USSR, result mass starvation in early 1960s China. Something our brilliant “leaders” and totally “clueless-about-nearly-everything” media have forgotten. They all seem to act like every day is the first day of history, like their stuck in a loop as in the ‘Ground Hog Day’ movie.
As then candidate Trump said in the primary,(paraphrasing) ‘We are governed by the stupid!’

The article points out that North Korea’s scientists and engineers have stopped making the same mistakes over and over.
Our government has not even begun to learn that.
