    A country getting bombed into Rubble doesn’t justify it becoming a hereditary monarchy no matter how much whataboutism you toss around. Nor do the sins of other countries absolve the sins of the Kim family towards their own country.

      A country getting bombed into Rubble doesn’t justify

      It’s not about justification, it’s about the way history works. Germany, subjected to unaffordable reparations after WW1, turned to Nazism because such conditions breed right wing extremism. It was afterwards collectively decided not to repeat that mistake and Germany was allowed to flourish again. This is a well understood political phenomenon, and the damages to the DPRK done by the American government and military and posterior efforts in sanction had exactly the desired effect.
