North Korea could decide to stop alienating itself from the rest of the world with pathetic rocket antics.

Maybe that would help with the import problem.

You're moving the goalposts. The famine happened far before North Korea had nuclear missiles, and rocket tests were far less common decades ago.

I'm thinking about what North Korea can do today. Looking ahead.

The choice today is more rocket antics or less. One means more budget for food and less alienation, the other doesn't. The question is what North Korea does now.
