those countries are lights in the dark

That's what North Koreans see at night when they look across the border towards South Korea.

Sanctions are hilarious! Bet the leveling of the country during the Korean war was a real laight too.

The US bombed and firebombed until there were "no more targets in Korea." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_North_Korea Examine the primary sources if you like, they're decent. It was comparable to genocide.

And now we point and laugh at the DPRK for being less developed than the US-backed South?

The US prevented a democratic unified korea and killed 20 percent of all Koreans. MacArthur had to have his nuclear command secreted away to prevent him nuking Korea.

Read about it or if youre not into reading listen to the blowback season.
