Is this not the natural conclusion of "sanctions"?

If it was realistically applicable, they'd agitate for it.

My solution:

Stop the sanctions and allow the people to have a taste of Capitalism.

My solution:

Impeach our own madman, then try an approach with NK's madman that doesn't involve insults and basically trying to talk the guy into using a nuke somewhere.  Our madman's approach is to egg on NK's madman into open conflict.

Why does there need to be a "solution" for North Korea?

They aren't going to nuke anyone, so we should just let them exist in peace.

I thought North Koreans were already starving? The problem with sanctions is that it assumes that the public will put pressure on the administration to do something. It's been proven over and over again that the North Korean administration will put down any sort of opposition with strong force. Sanctions have been failing and will continue to do so.

The blame is really more on NK's leadership for starving their own citizens (to death).
Kim Jong-Un is spending hundreds of millions (if not billions) into nukes and missiles and military, where these funds could better be spent to feed his own people.

The reason there should be a solution for North Korea is that Kim Jong-Un is basically who Hitler would be if he was surrounded by stronger nations.

Or as the left would say, "but enough about the United States, let's get back to talking about North Korea."

My solution to this entire situation: assassinate Kim, assassinate his adult relatives, throw God-Emperor Snowflake in a small cell for treason, and start fresh from all angles.

He already starves 99% of his population in gulags. Starving out the remaining 1% consisting of the regime's chosen few seems like a great idea.

Including his adult relatives who have defected?

Starving the innocent civilians to death, because that's what will come of this.
