North Korea produces urea (used in fertilizer) from coal. It is a incredibly expensive, labour intensive, process that is far cheaper to do using natural gas and oil.

Wait TLDR here says that North Korea is doing better than we think because of 3.1% GDP growth? North Korea's nominal GDP in 2023 was $29.6 billion. 3.1% of that is $880 million. With 26.5 million North Koreans, that's $33 annual growth per North-Korean. And let's be honest, they are increasingly confrontational so this $33 per North-Korean will go to the military.
33 extra bucks per year is a lot for the average North Korean. And if they keep that going, they're going to have 100 extra bucks per year in a couple of years.
The thing is we don't actually know North Korea's actual GDP as North Korea has a large system of underground markets and barely levy's taxes, thus making economic survaillance near impossible,

At some point NK will reach a threshold beyond which it can essentially ensure the basic needs of all its citizens, including food, and the only threat would be a foreign military one. Waiting for North Korea to implode due to isolation is a foolish tactic.
The Juche Thought was a project to give North Korean leadership political autonomy from both Soviet and Chinese interference, and strengthen Kim Il Sung's cult of personality.

North-Korean economic growth is a positive, as the DPRK is inherently reliant on food imports, which they can only support with their own exports.

interesting video but the use of the heritage foundation index on economic freedom is dubious, once you you at the criteria they use... heritage foundation isn't just an independent think tank or study group, it's a fundamentally liberal (economically) and ultraconservative (socially) organization, supported by multiple billionaires and big compagnies, and at the origin of Project 2025 which will probably guide Trump's presidency if he ends up elected
It's sad they (DPRK) dissolved the ideas of reunification, I was there when Moon Jae-In and Kim Jong-Un exchanged steps onto both territories it was a historical moment and everyone felt like peace was finally at arms reach all the Ajhummas were selling those North Korean noodles that both leaders enjoyed, such a surreal moment.
“With backing from China…” my understanding was that China backing North Korea was more a reaction to the US getting involved than something North Korea had going in.
More like US Air force "randomly" dropped bombs in China soil until Mao sent army to the border. And unlike the Vietnam war, China never sent any supplies to the NK troops
Using a razor with less running costs and environmental impact may be good, but I hope you people do realize that you can also simply shave with a well-sharpened 10 buck pocket knife, and effectively reduce both of them to zero.
The video talks very little about the economy of North Korea today, and offers little evidence that this military cooperation with China is making a big difference in poverty and food shortages. In 2023 there were reports that food shortages in NK were at their worst since the 90s, with cannibalism being reported once more. Since the pandemic NK became even more isolated from the world, causing them to become even poorer. Selling shells and troops to Russia won't change that for its populace
This will end up ruffling some feathers in China I think. China could have furnished NK with better rocket and nuclear technology ages ago, they just didn’t, because a) NK has nothing China wants except to be a buffer state to South Korea and b) they’re already sharing one border with an autocratic nuclear armed country, they really didn’t need a second one. If there’s one thing China agrees on with everyone else it’s that more nuclear weapons are bad. So Russia saying “Yeah no probs here’s how you make rockets” in that circumstance without really asking China is a bit rude. Probably not rude enough that China does anything about it, but rude nonetheless.
By "Korea" you mean North Korea and I'm going to be telling you this. North Korea economy despite this partnership with Russia is still doing very bad thanks in part to a ruthless dictator

@@TitusFlavius11 Except for China, no Brics country is directly allied with Russia at the moment ( Partners, at best).

Comments showing they know absolutely nothing about the DPRK
Um yes they do
Actually to correct you here North Korea started the Korean War with the full backing of the Soviet Union. China was dragged into this war as the US led UN forces went all the way to the border on the Yalu River between North Korea and China!
6:30 estimated well some of that is also by stealing foreign currency
Hallo from Norway 🇳🇴🇵🇸🇳🇴🇵🇸
Pyongyang is going to go up in a giant mushroom cloud.
North Korea barely got any GDP but the central bank saying 3.1 jump is not much at all
Even if North Korean living standards quadruple, that's still not much.
Japan and South Korea has a better economy and living standards

Ehh, North Korea is not doing better than we think. Its leadership might be, but the country itself is starving and improverished.

It's more of changing relationship than an emerging on. Even with all the sanctions both Russia and China were caught sending aid to North Korea far before Russia invaded Ukraine.

As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of
information can be a big hurdle. I've been
making more than $200k passively by just
investing through an advisor, and I don't have
to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
finances remain secure. So I really don't blame
people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted based on thorough research and years of practical experience.
how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally.. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking?
Sound levels, the hell?
5:20 the heritage foundation are also the authors of project 2025, probably not the best source
These personnel being sent to Russia can't possibly be returned to N. Korea after they see too much. If they are, they would have to be held as political prisoners which would be SO troublesome as "war heroes" with stories. Being captured on the battlefield may be their only chance of survival.
Being pals with Russia is pretty much typical with this scenario.
Might wanna check the pronunciation of Juche xD
Its Great for NK indeed.
I mean with how Desperate Putler is. Kimmy will get pretty much whatever he wants if he provides ammo and meat.
Worse for Winny the Pooh tough. His Influence over Kimmy is effectively gone with Putler providing for Kimmy´s needs.
And this in turn might end up being quite bad for all of them.
Because if Winny gets Angy he may take his own measures.
It' possible that Kim is assisting Russia now in the hope that the latter would back him if he decides to attack South Korea...
interesting video but the use of the heritage foundation index on economic freedom is dubious, once you you at the criteria they use...
heritage foundation isn't just an independent think tank or study group, it's a fundamentally liberal (economically) and ultraconservative (socially) organization, supported by multiple billionaires and big compagnies, and at the origin of Project 2025 which will probably guide Trump's presidency if he ends up elected
It's sad they (DPRK) dissolved the ideas of reunification, I was there when Moon Jae-In and Kim Jong-Un exchanged steps onto both territories it was a historical moment and everyone felt like peace was finally at arms reach all the Ajhummas were selling those North Korean noodles that both leaders enjoyed, such a surreal moment.
ah yes, "jushi"
So this means, North Korea will have abundant oil and food?
“With backing from China…” my understanding was that China backing North Korea was more a reaction to the US getting involved than something North Korea had going in.
More like US Air force "randomly" dropped bombs in China soil until Mao sent army to the border. And unlike the Vietnam war, China never sent any supplies to the NK troops
Using a razor with less running costs and environmental impact may be good, but I hope you people do realize that you can also simply shave with a well-sharpened 10 buck pocket knife, and effectively reduce both of them to zero.
Technically, the Korean War has yet to end.
You guys should have brought up why kamala isn't on Joe Rogan

Incredible how a economic channel get so many man shaving adds ... It says a lot of the demographic 😂😂
The video talks very little about the economy of North Korea today, and offers little evidence that this military cooperation with China is making a big difference in poverty and food shortages.
In 2023 there were reports that food shortages in NK were at their worst since the 90s, with cannibalism being reported once more. Since the pandemic NK became even more isolated from the world, causing them to become even poorer. Selling shells and troops to Russia won't change that for its populace
This will end up ruffling some feathers in China I think.
China could have furnished NK with better rocket and nuclear technology ages ago, they just didn’t, because a) NK has nothing China wants except to be a buffer state to South Korea and b) they’re already sharing one border with an autocratic nuclear armed country, they really didn’t need a second one. If there’s one thing China agrees on with everyone else it’s that more nuclear weapons are bad.
So Russia saying “Yeah no probs here’s how you make rockets” in that circumstance without really asking China is a bit rude. Probably not rude enough that China does anything about it, but rude nonetheless.
North Korea has diplomatic relationship with 160 countries and its trade with China peaked at 10 billion USD. North Korea's isolationism is a myth.
@davidstrelec2000 no they are very very isolated since the founding
Your ads are super poorly executed
Sup with the sound?
I don't think because I have never seen Korea. All my understanding is based on the images media and movies had fed me.
By "Korea" you mean North Korea and I'm going to be telling you this. North Korea economy despite this partnership with Russia is still doing very bad thanks in part to a ruthless dictator
