    You said sanctioned by the West, not the US. The West didn’t start sanctions until 2006. The US wasn’t a primary trading partner of any eastern bloc county during the cold war so it wouldn’t have made a difference.

        Show me the proof that members of the West other than the US sanctioned North Korea between 1991 and 2006.

        Even Russia sanctioned North Korea starting in 2013 for their behavior.
