> “And yet,” Reinsch said, “nobody in government is sure this whole strategy is even working.” I mean, the North Koreans are starving even when they go to try and catch fish for food. They grow shorter than South Koreans due to poor nutrition. Cuba is depopulating and going over the demographic cliff. Russian interest rates are surging. Iran's economy is stagnant and suffers from tremendous brain drain. May not be regime change, but certainly regime crippling. That seems like an unequivocal win. Have any of America's enemies not been significantly weakened by the sanctions? If one day there is a war with North Korea, I want our soldiers to fight people with stunted growth and parasites.
