Well maybe you shouldn’t have put the DPRK in a position where the only way to get food and other much needed necessities is by selling weapons to your enemy. 
Good news on one hand. On the other hand, I don't believe a single word that South Korea's defense chief says as a general principle unless there's more evidence.
You're right not to. The news is probably better - far as I understand DPRK administration is much more pragmatic than exchanging artillery shells and short-range missiles for consumer products. Their military probably got some tech help from ours. Sure seems weird DPRK had it's first successful launch of a spy satellite in november of 2023
Sounds like a good exchange for both parties then
win-win cooperation right there
Always nice to see more countries adopting China's 合作共赢 model.
DPRK prosperity increasing? Niceeeeeee :3
They are happy to see their beloved international trade improving situation for both parties, right? 
Seems like a win-win deal. The collaboration government doesn't understand this kind of exchange though.
What will the US do? Sanction them?!
lol exactly, we're now seeing the limits of the whole sanction strategy
Sucking all that cheap energy out of Russia and keeping Russia away from the periphery wasn't enough. They really, really wanted to do shock therapy again and get their hands on Russian workers. So far, it's backfired. It's the way of the two-birds-in-the-bush if ever there was one.
Indeed
This is the ONE thing we DIDN'T want to HAPPEN.
But but...how can we help the people of the DPRK if they are getting meals!? Our entire strategy involved starving them to freedom!
