Biden administration sanctions Russia and North Korean individuals for North Korean missile launch on the 11th.
[Washington, 12th Reuters] --The US Treasury will impose sanctions on 6 North Korean individuals, 1 Russian individual, and 1 group following a series of missile launches by North Korea on the 12th. Announced. He is said to have been involved in the procurement of weapons development supplies from Russia and China.
According to South Korean troops, North Korea launched a projectile that could be a ballistic missile on the 11th. This is the second time North Korea has launched a projectile this year since the 5th. In addition, North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency reported on the 12th that it succeeded in conducting a hypersonic missile launch test in the presence of Kim Jong-un, the chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea. Kim Jong Un has officially inspected the missile launch since March 2020.
The Ministry of Finance explained that the sanctions were aimed at preventing the advancement of North Korea's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ballistic missile programs, as well as stopping attempts to spread weapons technology.
Nelson, Under Secretary of Finance (Terrorism and Financial Information), said in a statement that North Korea is taking measures against the use of foreign representatives to illegally procure products for weapons, and North Korea's recent missile launch is "international. Further evidence that banned programs continue to move forward despite society's demand for diplomacy and denuclearization. "
"The events of the last few days underscore our belief that dialogue is needed to make things happen," US State Department spokesman Price said in a regular press conference, and the U.S. government continues to work with North Korea. He said he was aiming for diplomatic negotiations.
The ministry accused the sanctions of being the result of six ballistic missile launches since September last year, all of which violated a UN Security Council resolution. did.
It is said that one Russian-based North Korean national, one Russian national, and one Russian group, which were subject to sanctions, conducted "activities and transactions related to the spread of weapons of mass destruction and their means of transportation." I was determined.
One of the North Korean nationals is a representative of the North Korean organization involved in weapons development in Vladivostok, and is said to have been involved in the procurement of communication-related equipment from Russia.
In addition, four representatives of the agency's China branch and one Russian-based North Korean have also been sanctioned. He was involved in the procurement of alloy steel, software, and chemical products.
Anthony Ruggero, a sanctions expert from the former Trump administration, said the new sanctions were a "good start" and that the Biden administration needed to continue to increase sanctions pressure on North Korea. It pointed out.
This measure will freeze the sanctioned US-related assets and completely ban transactions with the sanctioned person.
The point of interest is sanctions on individuals. We knew that Russian engineers were involved in the development of North Korea's nuclear missiles, but we are trying to identify individuals.
North Korea's current starvation situation is all spent on missile production. Existing Yi Dynasty Korea.
They live by getting their own food, whether it's birds or insects. It would be strange if humans starved to death. Despite being able to obtain food much more efficiently than animals. That happens often in North Korea. Because what the people earn will disappear somewhere. Transforms into a missile.
Kim Jong-un says it is to protect the people, but if the people are starving to death, the funds should be used to support the people's food supply and demand. There is no doubt that this is not to protect the people, but to protect the Kim Jong-un family. Even during the Joseon Dynasty, half of the population was slaves and there was no end to starvation. This is because the food that the people had cultivated had gone somewhere.
On the contrary, it is surprising that one in ten men in North Korea is a soldier. Of the total population of 25.97 million, 1.28 million are said to be military personnel. Moreover, this excludes the elderly and children, so the proportion is even higher when looked at within the working population. In other words, that many men are not engaged in society's productive activities.
Will North Korea's missile development solve this economically distorted social structure? Wouldn't nuclear missiles cost much less than military personnel? In any case, nowadays United Nations member states cannot attack other countries by interfering in their internal affairs. If nuclear missiles are deployed, the Kim dynasty will be strengthened. Korea will continue forever.
North Korea's NATA (National Aerospace Technology Administration) is very similar to NASA - why make it look like it to compete with the United States? And it's English.
This is the official logo design of North Korea's National Aerospace Technology Directorate. If you think it's similar to something, it's NASA in the United States. The North Korean side is NATA. When I looked it up, it seems that NATA is the acronym for National Aerospace Technology Administration. This was also reported in Japanese media.
Kim Jong-un's daughter Jue appeared at the venue wearing a T-shirt with this mark printed on it, and all the male executives who greeted her were also wearing this T-shirt. It's a very North Korean-like scene, but by the way, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seems to be an acronym for National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
In North Korea's logic, they would argue that they did not copy NASA, but simply used the name of North Korea's agency, and would they say that the design was inspired by space? No matter how you look at it, it just looks like a NASA fake.
North Korea is now excited that it has successfully launched a satellite. Japanese media has also reported that the threat has increased, but it was in 1970 that Japan placed its first artificial satellite into orbit around the Earth. North Korea is supposed to be making missiles to counter the United States. By the way, North Korea uses Hangul as its national script, and like South Korea, it has abolished the kanji that it had historically used for a long time. It's a very strange country.
Poverty in North Korea is caused by not working | Working population is too small - 20% of men do not engage in production activities
North Korea will continue to be poor. The reason is that it doesn't work. If you work, you will become a little richer. Come to think of it, there are some people who say they can't work because there are no jobs in North Korea, but don't be foolish. There will be jobs because there are people. Because your job is to help people. In other words, there is no work because you don't have that feeling or idea. In other words, the hopeless aspect of communism is that it lacks the concept of service.
It is said that 5% of North Korea's population are military personnel. If there were an equal number of men and women in the population, 10% of men would be military personnel. If you exclude children and the elderly from that number, I wonder if about one in five men are military personnel. In other words, these are people who do not engage in productive activities. 20% of working men do not produce. Even if people work in factories, leaders, section managers, and department managers are said to be in a class society where they don't work at all. In other words, even among people involved in production, those above a certain class do not work. College graduates and other elites are enthusiastic about manufacturing missiles that have no place in the North Korean economy.
North Korea has a primitive economy that is roughly equivalent to barter. Simply put, if you can exchange food and daily necessities, you are considered lucky. For example, when exchanging soap for a single radish, paper money is merely used as an intermediary. In other words, the general rule is that if there is a shortage of radish, there will also be a shortage of soap.
What will happen if we provide food assistance here? It does nothing economically other than to alleviate starvation for a certain period of time. This is because food is meaningless unless producers produce it and exchange it in the market.
In other words, North Korea is poor because it doesn't work.
A sports festival that destroyed North Korea.Mayday Stadium was built at this time.
One of the reasons why the North Korean economy has fallen into the abyss is the 13th World Youth Student Festival.North Korea is also planning to host the Olympics in Seoul, but Samaranch, the president of the IOC, visited Pyongyang and returned home saying, anyway we will consider some opportunity but I don't know when.
The World Youth Student Festival is a sports, culture and art festival held in socialist countries.This was the first time that parent and children had clashed head-on over Kim Jong Il's proposal to hold other sports festival event against the hosting of the Korean Olympic Games.As a result, the decision was made in the process of transferring power to his son, Kim Jong Il.
The May Day Stadium (now a stadium where mass games and missile exhibitions are held) and hotels have been built, attracting 12,000 people from other countries for free.Most of North Korea's GNP was invested in the event.The huge state-funded festival put the country's finances in jeopardy.Since then, North Korea's domestic distribution has stopped, causing a large number of people to starve to death.
Hamgyeongnam-do, which earned 60 to 70 percent of North Korea's foreign currency at that time.It is said that the first people to starve to death were those who worked in a mine in Hamgyeongnam-do.
North Korea's country's huge tilt was due to the huge investment in the sports festival.It was a product of ostentatiousness against Korea.
