It's too bad they can't block all television and radio signals in North Korea and replace them with Fox News 24/7.

That would make me laugh my brains out.

Not yet. The sanctions that just passed were watered down from the original draft because China and Russia whined that they were too harsh...

Its not surprising.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Wouldn't be worth the cost. That'd probably lead to war immediately.

I meant through current means of trade.

How the hell would we block land access? There would need to be troops and equipment in China and Russia.

No air or rain clouds allowed into North Korea.

If we were really determined, we could probably arrange that.

Well, dropping enough energy into North Korea to literally turn the air into plasma (which isn't technically "air" anymore) would render the need to eliminate the air obsolete anyway.

Invent weather control to end the rhyme "The rains in North Koreain falls mainly on the Pyongyains." Then engineer towards stopping global wind patterns from blowing through North Korea.

I'll be honest, I was big on Trump when he first came in. His economic nationalism and populist rhetoric appealed to me in a big way.

After ~7 months, I can only conclude that Trump is yet another authoritarian kleptocrat who can't get anything done other than the most basic legislation.
