Three communist and socialist countries with starving populations.
North Korea trades freely and shares a border with China. Venezuela has no sanctions applied to it by the US.
We can now easily rule out sanctions as the cause of their woes so what is the other common factor between these countries?

- brigadier132 2y agoI'm going to interpret your comment as "Venezuela is starving because of US sanctions" We actually have a really nice unintentional experiment. The Biden administration removed sanctions from Venezuela, they still had starvation after sanctions were removed. The dictator managed to get food while the country was starving however: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDebIITJ1x0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDebIITJ1x0
