The Right Way to Coerce North Korea

Capt Daniel Goodman except Cuba despite the embargo has had major exposure to the rest of the world so when the restrictions lifted it was much of transition for th Cubans because they have had visitors before. North Korea is on a next level extreme issolation where can't even view outside media at all atleast legally.

I understand...I'd realized that difference...I fathom your point of course, I'd just observe thst I just rather still thuink that, visitors or no, Cuba, being still Communist, is still a world headache, though, as you pointed out, less so, though that brother of that bearded Commie idiot, who was just as bad as those Hermit Kingdom Communist oligarchy family of twerps, incl that latest little obnoxious fatso.,.I was merely trying to observe what I perceived as a somewhat analogous similarity between Cuba as a surrogate of the Soviet Union, as being strikingly similar to the Hermit Kingdom being a surrogate of the People' Commie Paradise...also, have you ever noticed that Commie countries have a seeming penchant for try to emphasize the words democratic or people's in their titles, as if the rest of the world is too stupid to perceive them for the dictatorships that they are...yrs ago, I'd encountered an interesting phrasing, the concept of dictatorships of the classes (Fascism or many monarchies) vs the masses (Communist or Socialist)...the monarchy term doesn't always hold, esp in the UK, where the monarchy was restrained centuries ago, of course, by the House of Commons...I merely !mention that, as, in many instances, Fascist states, like Germany, Italy, and certainly Japan, either rembled, or, in the case of Japan, were true monarchies, that also ultimately had to ne similarly restrained...I find curious that such Communist asylums as the Hermit Kingdom somehow wind up with a triple generation oligarchy of dictatorial monster lunatics running the place, whereas after Mao and Chou were gone, Deng took epheir place (he was far worse, to my mind, esp with Tiannenmen Square), and none of them were family, merely idiologicappy bound up in their sick, twisted, Commie philosophy, you know? Just some observations, for whatever they might ne worth...however, as I said, I do perceive your point, certainly, many thanks....

Hardly see the current US administration signing on to your SEATO, and the rest of the countries would hardly be a wart on a toad to the Chineese.

SPC Douglas Bolton I thought with the economic sanctions that was essentially what we were doing it's like sending then to bed without dinner LOL
