I don't understand your argument.

It seems based on some premise that North Korea is only bad because other nations are "mean" to it.

Many authoritarian regimes have historically used food availability as a weapon against their own populations. North Korea clearly is one such regime.

There is no private enterprise in North Korea-- I don't know what you think lifting of non-food covering sanctions would do other than further strengthening a rogue state that has no intentions of having anything other than a perpetual slave caste.

That doesn't stop trade with Saudi Arabia so it can't be used here.
