Το να επενδύσεις στην αμυντική βιομηχανία, ερευνητική και παραγωγική δραστηριότητα που εμπλέκει 100αδες ιδρύματα και εταιρίες, είναι αποδοτικότερο απο το να κάνεις βραχυπρόθεσμες επιδοματικές παροχές. Δεν πρόκειται για κάποια αγορά όπλων απο το εξωτερικό, αλλά για τοπική ανάπτυξη και παραγωγή.
Αυτό δεν είναι ένα τσιτάτο, μια εικασία, είναι κάτι που έχει άμεσο αντίκτυπο στο ΑΕΠ και κάτι που επισημαίνουν οι διεθνείς οικονομικοί οργανισμοί. Η δραστηριότητα αυτή προσφέρει θέσεις εργασίας, και δη ποιοτικές/εξειδικευμένες, ρίχνει χρήμα στην γενικότερη οικονομία, την μεγεθύνει (ΑΕΠ). Aναπτύσσονται όμως και άλλοι τομείς
According to estimates from the Bank of Korea (BoK), South Korea’s central bank, GDP in the communist state expanded by 3.9% over the year, driven by stronger activity across activity levels across the nation’s mining, manufacturing and utilities, along with military spending.
“North Korea’s missiles and development of weapons of mass destruction are measured as investment and production and support GDP growth,” Shin Seung-cheol, an official at the BOK’s economic statistics department, told Bloomberg.

Παράλληλα αναπτύσσει ραγδαία την τεχνολογική βάση της χώρας. Μπορεί να την βγάζουν με μετρημένα τα σπόρια ρυζιού, όμως η χώρα αυτή παράγει οχήματα, εργαλειομηχανές, τουρμπίνες, πυρηνικούς αντιδραστήρες, ηλεκτρονικά, κοκ. Δλδ αν και φτωχοί, μπορούν και παράγουν πράγματα που μόνο ανεπτυγμένες οικονομίες μπορούν:
The World’s Poorest Advanced Economy
Jeff Baron: How do you add up North Korea after your 45 trips there?
Dr. Mitsuhiro Mimura: North Korea is the poorest advanced economy in the world—but what’s important to understand is that, while it may be poor, it is still an advanced economy. In that respect alone it is unique in the world. And that is an important source for the pride the North Korean people take in what they see as their country’s achievements.
JB: The poorest advanced economy? Can you explain that a little?
MM: By standard economic measurements, given that the North continues to emerge from its past as a feudal society and then Japanese colonial rule between 1910 and 1945, North Korea is a developing economy.
That said, they have built a comprehensive production structure including both labor-intensive and capital-intensive industries. They are able not only to produce capital goods to run their society, like railroad locomotives and carriages, cargo vessels, turbines and generators for power plants, numerically controlled lathes, but they also make most of the things needed for military use, from small arms to ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons, trucks, jeeps, destroyers, and diesel engines.

και φυσικά ο λαός βλέπει και άμεσο αντίκτυπο από όλα αυτά, την βελτίωση των συνθηκών ζωής του
Meanwhile, given the country's still-widespread impoverishment, simple improvements in agriculture and natural-disaster management are enough to yield significant new growth. Last year's impressive GDP gains were due largely to recovery from a bad drought in 2015.
For North Koreans, rising living standards are obviously a good thing. The problem is that the economy still has plenty of room to grow before further progress will require the removal of trade barriers. That means it could be years before new sanctions would hurt enough to cause a significant change in behavior. Until then, the nation's ideology of self-reliance, known as juche, seems almost plausible.

The official message is clear: “These measures are not economic reform,” said Prof Ri Gi-song of the Academy of Social Sciences in Pyongyang. “These are measures to facilitate companies and enterprises meeting production for the state, while at the same time improving the living standards for workers.”

Όσο για την Κίνα που στηρίζει, πριν λίγο καιρό ανακοίνωσε εμπάργκο να θυμηθούμε
The Commerce Ministry announced a ban on imports of iron ore, iron, lead and coal from North Korea effective Tuesday

και για την Ρωσία
On December 2013 Russia joined the sanctions against North Korea, introduced in March by the U.N Security Council (Resolution 2087). The corresponding decree signed by President Putin specified that Russian companies were prohibited to provide North Korea any technical assistance and advice in the development and production of ballistic missiles. In addition, North Korean naval vessels to call at Russian ports would be required to undergo inspection. Also, the authorities ordered to be vigilant when dealing with North Korean diplomats.
On May 2016 the Central Bank of Russia ordered all Russian banks to halt financial dealings with North Korean agencies, organizations and individuals on the U.N Security Council sanctions list. The move was in line with the United Nations Security Council resolution adopted in early March to penalize North Korea for its fourth nuclear test and long-range missile launch and curb its weapons of mass destruction program.
