A new report from the Institute for Science and International Security has found that 49 countries
violated sanctions on North Korea to varying degrees between March 2014 and September 2017.

You will find more statistics at Statista

13 governments including Cuba, Egypt, Iran and Syria were involved in military violations, which as
Statista's Martin Armstrong notes, includes either receiving military training from North Korea or being involved
in the import and export of military equipment.
The range of nations involved in breaching non-military sanctions is much broader.
Those violations include importing and exporting sanctioned goods and minerals or aiding shipments by re-
flagging vessels. Other instances include the involvement of front companies as well as other business activities

like financial transactions. The list of nations violating sanctions non-militarily includes China, France, Germany
and Japan.
13 other countries violated sanctions in a manner that seems completely inadvertent.
North Korea targeted countries including the Canada, Switzerland and the U.S. in an attempt to buy equipment
which could potentially have military applications. This strategy has proven successful in the past, with the most
famous example occurring in the 1980s when Pyongyang duped U.S. aerospace manufacturer McDonnell Douglas
in order to illegally obtain 87 civilian MD-500 helicopters. The North Korean military later modified them to carry
Susong-Po anti-tank missiles and these aircraft are still in active service today.

Fuck stupid sanctions. Sanctions are for pussies. Throw some bombs!

Note that Israel isn't on the list despite supplying them with gold and uranium.

Better start bombing them, then... All of them. I think I just heard John Bolton on Fox say that every
single one of them both has a nuclear weapons program AND hates us for our freedom...

I hate it when they make their nukes gold plated.

What you've just posted is a felony in EU, and a $250,000 
fine here in the US, for openly saying BOYCOTT ISRAEL!!!
The dual-Israeli Junta that overthrew Ukraine has also sold
the DPRK never-used Soviet nukes and ICBM rocket motors.
But it is still illegal for you to openly say BOYCOTT ISRAEL!!!

Its always been an elitist NWO-Socialist construct filled to the rafters with primping peacock

break here. They should move it to Brussels or Paris.

Oh please, there's way more.
Before the summer I was at the cigarclub and there I met a guy who made his fortune selling turbine
engines for boeings and other big plane. His biggest customer was Syria.
I don't think I could sell it to them but there's plenty of guys who know the routes and there's plenty
of transit routes also where stuff trades hands and if you sell it to the Saudi's who sell it to the
Indians who sell it to the Chinese who sell it tot he Koreans, nobody really violated anything but
Korea ends up with anything they want to pay for.
Money is a crazy thing, it gets you anything you want.

Sparkey  ThrowAwayYourTV • Dec 10, 2017 8:58 PM

Throwaway for what it's worth, I really don't think anyone top or bottom, knows what they are doing
or why they are doing it, everyone is reacting to  ever changing circumstances while they try and
make their plan, which was planned before the circumstances changed, fit the new reality and
achieve the original goal, well good luck with that, change is eternal, the longer it takes to 'Win' the
less chance we have of winning! I don't think it is a part of the Ruler's master plan that you and I
should win anyway!
The insane behavior being manifest is instinctualy driven, we literally cannot help ourselves, we are
Humans living in an environment  in which our befuddled overwhelmed instincts cannot lead us to
any stability or long term survival. The World has changed so much so quickly that, as a species, we
are reaching the limit of our ability to adapt and cope.
This, below, is what the Rulers dream about, when they aren't thinking about 'population reduction'
to clean up the World before they come back better than ever!

Mexico did not stab us in the back. Immigrants are not a problem, they are a symptom. Immigrants
just want your jobs or country. The problem is not immigrants but the open border globalist elite 
MOFOs giving it to them.  Don't hate immigrants, hate the alliance of government, academic, media,
religious, business and political leaders who are importing them to replace you.

No country really cares about any sanctions created by the United Satans of America.
Most countries simply do whatever they want, as it should be.  

MusicIsYou • Dec 10, 2017 9:33 PM

Well the U.S doesn't have any kind of moral authority it once had so other countries don't give a rats
ass about U.S sanctions.

The world knows the U.S is not a government for and by the people - the world isn't as dumb as
Americans are. The last I checked Americans ranked like 35th place in the world for comprehension.

uhland62  Spanky • Dec 10, 2017 10:17 PM

Plus, when you put sanctions on many countries they form the sanctions-club and trade amongst
themselves.
 
The more countries under sanctions you have, the more they will trade between them. Strong
sanctions are also war crimes because it is not allowed to put a cordon around a town/country that
causes starvation of the whole population.

Take the world reserve currency status away from the U.S and that 35th place for comprehension will
show just how ugly it gets in the U.S. The U.S will become one of the worst third world countries on
the planet.

Americans are too dumb to realize reserve currency status is the only thing preventing the U.S from
becoming the worse place on earth to live. Americans think it's because they're so awesome.

nobody respect a bully who is broke , fraudster and obnoxious. the us dug its own grave by
pretending fighting isis for 3 years without killing 100 fighters, then came Putin and destroyed the
so-called caliphate  with very little resources using bombs from the Soviet era costing nothing. now
even children from vietnam, china, philippines  and NK laugh at the us for being a paper tiger.

When he US does collapse, I wonder how fast the collapse will be, and how bad the aftermath.
Everything happens so very quicly these days - maybe the collapse will be "over in  just a few days",
or maybe not.
End result? Mad Max scenario, or something far less extreme. People "pulling together" to help one
another, or "every man for himself"?
Whatever - it is certainly going to be a "memorable time to be alive" for the rest of us, for a very long
time into the future.
