What happens if we embargo north korea, I'm saying surround them and stop shipping traffic? Will they retaliate? Will we be cutting off the squirrels head so to speak?

The north Korean government is literally build around self sufficiency. They have very little significant trade in and out of their country, which is why sanctions have never worked on them.
>>136900295
Yeah surrounding North Korea will totally stop those goods from getting to China you fuck nugget.
>>136900295
Are you talking about a blockade? Faggot.
>>136900446
I've read stories that they get black market goods by ship, also wondering if it might be a legit way to provoke them into a first strike situation where we can attack them without China interfering
>>136900654
I guess I am, ya a blockade
>>136900718
I mean if you surround a country that's kind of >>136900654
which is kinda would sorta seem like some sort of act of war in itself...
>>136900446
Don't listen to this guy, they try to be self sufficient
But they sell coal to china, which is literally the only people they trade with.
Many people are starving in the DPRK

This is the philosophy of Juche. Self reliance.

This should be the next step. A full Naval and Air blockade.
>>136900295
Psst...
We already do that.

We would just be enforcing the UN sanctions. China might get pissy but would they stop us? Doubt it.

Their lifeline comes from China, in exchange for rare earth minerals and the like. No embargo/sanctions will have an effect on them if China is not fully on board.

It would if we destroyed the bridges over the Yalu river and used sea based SAM to enforce an air embargo.
