This is a spectacular attempt to shift blame. No serious historian blames the US trade embargo for the famine’s death toll.

No, it's the basic fact of the situation which you, being the troll that you are, continue try to dance around.

Yeah, no possible way being cut off from trade could affect the food supply in the country. If sanctions didn't harm the populations of the target countries then the US wouldn't be using them. Amazing how this basic detail escaped your genius mind.

Food was hoarded for the military and elite in Pyongyang while regional populations starved.

A starving population that maintains its birth rate is not an economic win; it’s a social tragedy.

Except that north is no longer starving, while food insecurity is a real problem in the south which your own bleatings claim has a better economic situation 🤡 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12939-023-01937-z

This is a classic defensive move when your system has an objectively pathetic GDP.

GDP is not a measure of quality of life as any economist would tell you. There are actual measures like PQL for that.

GDP and GDP per Capita are the standard, baseline metrics for comparing economic output. While they don’t capture happiness or inequality perfectly (that’s what the Human Development Index, HDI, is for), they absolutely measure the size of the pie a country has to divide.

Economic output has fuck all to do with the standard of living. In fact, you can have very high economic output as we see in occpupied Korea achieved through brutal exploitation of the working population.

This is outright false. The DPRK guarantees these things on paper, but the quality is nonexistent for the vast majority of the population:

It's not, but you've already made it clear that you'll just make things up and ignore facts.

What the south doesn't have is guarantees of access. You do not have a job guarantee and without a job you have nothing. That's the elephant in the room that you artlessly danced around.

The Total Scoreboard: 34,000+ people have escaped North Korea for the South. Less than 30 have publicly documented returning.

Sure little buddy. You keep on believing that.
