Lots of more popular support for ending the embargo on Cuba, and there's even a UN vote where all countries aside from 5 voted to ending the embargo on Cuba, but there's very little international support for ending the sanctions on North Korea. Does anyone know why this is? Surely if you want to end sanctions on Cuba, it's only logical to want to end sanctions on North Korea too?
Cuba is next door to the US and predominately speaks spanish. Spanish is a language in use by millions in the US and Europe. Ergo: No language barrier, double checking smears against Cuba for validty is rather easy.
The DPRK is far from the US and Europe. Next door are Occupied Korea (which has a vested interest and tradition of smearing free Korea) and Japan (parely apologetic about its coloial past). Furthermore, Koreans usually speak korean, korean is spoken by almost no one in the US or Europe and if, the speaker is, thanks to far reaching sanctions on the north, aligned to the south. Korean also has its own writing system. Thus the language barrier is as high as it can get between humans. Sanctioned to hell and back (can't enter most countries), far away (on the other side of the earth for US/Europe) and unique writing system + unique language => No presence in imperialist countries and barely and chance to get some. => slander stands virtually unopposed => fuck-all support
