You talks like you have been to north korea. All your "understanding" about north korea is basically from all the heavily censored medias. If you still have little bit left over on your small half brain, you would understand north korea's economy has always been heavily suppressed by US and long arm sanction, because north korea doesnt want to be US's lapdog, that's all.
One thing I can tell you that South korea, Japan or Philippine have on daily basis which north korea doesn't have is US soldiers raping local girls, south korea and Japan have no sovereignty.
And by the way, please tell me who actually blew up Nord Streams?
