New sanctions on North Korea by the US. Are they justified or harsh?

[Avishek Dutta]

In the wake of Sony pictures hacking, fresh sanctions have been imposed on North Korea by the United States who have held Kim responsible for this incident. What do you think?

Similar sanctions were posed by the UN, EU and the UK but North Korea is least bothered about those sanctions . Like the U.N. approved sanctions against North Korea for its underground nuclear test in Feb 2013. The sanctions imposed penalties on North Korean banking, travel and trade and were passed in a 15-0 vote that reflected the country’s increased international isolation.

Fully agreed with Ayush. As long as China keeps supporting and funding North Korea… it seems least bothered…

In fact North Korea and Pakistan can both be considered satellite states of China.
