You said sanctioned by the West, not the US. The West didn’t start sanctions until 2006. The US wasn’t a primary trading partner of any eastern bloc county during the cold war so it wouldn’t have made a difference.
Show me the proof that members of the West other than the US sanctioned North Korea between 1991 and 2006.
Ah i see the goal posts have moved. Why don’t you show me proof that there was any trade between the West and North Korea between this time. An embargo doesn’t have to be an announced and official one.
Even Russia sanctioned North Korea starting in 2013 for their behavior.
And?
Really i don’t even understand how this matters in the first place, i wouldn’t have thought the claim that North Korea has been sanctioned would be so controversial. Pretty sure its common knowledge. Isn’t it called the “hermit kingdom” or some such too?

Why are you lying?

The US is the de facto leader of the West, if it embargoes a country, it is embargoed by the West as well.

Nah mate, you said the West followed the US in everything it did, back it up.
