Like if North Korea was a schoolboy it would be like the teacher made him stand in the corner all ****ing year then everyone says why does this kid hate school?
It’s hard for me to hate their dictators because I think it was an inevitable outcome of their situation

well it was inevitable if you insist on having a nominally communist dictatorship, yes. I think it's fairly obvious that the people of north Korea would be better off if the north surrendered and the whole nation became Korea. You can't say the same in reverse. If south Korea surrendered and they all became the dprk, that would just make life worse for the people in south Korea.
I do agree that our sanctions approach is immoral and ineffective. In fact north Korea is the one thing I think Trump got right.
