"The agency also claims 60 years of US sanctions have caused a loss of $US13.7 trillion by 2005, while property losses were estimated at $US16.7 trillion." Sanctions were brought upon by themselves, tbh. I can't say we had a true purpose there for the war, but without us being there who would know if anything starcraft related would exist if we didn't intervene? http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06/24/2936414.htm | ||

that's an absurd amount of money to just suddenly demand of a nation. I bet US diplomats are laughing at this. | ||

The sanctions wouldn't have cost many lives if North Korean leadership didn't think that military strength & state controlled economy was more important than economic prosperity and international trade. | ||

Yeah, I initially was going to write Stalin since they do have alot in common, but Kim Jong-Il's military policy makes me think Hitler pre-WW2. Ultimately its apples and oranges comparing any of the three, and it was intended to be inflammatory/funny rather than a serious scholarly comparison lol. The whole declaring himself "Supreme leader" thing also makes me think Hitler more than Stalin for some reason. | ||

That's exactly what I thought of. It just feels like more loud noises and posturing from the glorious leader. There's no follow through. | ||

Does North Korea have the grounds to ask for this money in the first place? | ||
