I don’t really understand how North Korea continues to exist. I guess they aren’t sanctioned hard enough? I guess it’s hard to get in spies? I guess it’s hard to remove Kim? They seem so weak, but they keep slowly developing into some weird sort of threat.

N.Korea is essentially used as slave labour by China, and is propped up by them in return.

Look up "bureau 39". They have installed a nice cash flow institute, that goes around the sanctions.
