Would North Korea have collapsed from the 90s famine if the US never gave them aid? They were still miles behind their first test. In hindsight it seems like a stupid thing cause it just guaranteed them to eventually do it. By giving just enough aid the Kim Regime squeaked by. Or would it have survived anyway?

>>17976432The USA has had a total embargo on North Korea since 1950. The US didn't "give them aid" in the 1990s, they eased the embargo that they used to cause famine.
>>17976470Tankie cope. The US saved North Korea’s failed regime. Maybe if the Kim’s implemented basic market reform instead of focusing entirely on their own personal wealth then North Koreans wouldn’t be starving.
Seems like the perfect antagonist to keep South Korea and Japan safely within the US sphere and away from Chinas. Seem like the perfect casus belli for a war in east asia should the US ever need one. I hear the dear leader is very fond of hollywood movies too, I wonder what other kind of media he consumes? Does he not know that he could be manipulated through what he watches on the tv? Silly guy.
China would have sent aid if the US didn't, considering North Korea collapsing would mean millions of US troops and millions more refugees by the Yalu River. Furthermore, North Korea would lose control of the economy either way, with jangmadang taking over. I think it's safe to say the gookies would have been OK in the end., but the Arduous March would have been a lot worse.
