So youre saying because the US and UK were untouchable they were right in doing the same things like Japan did? 

Trade embargos are an act of agression, North Korea was sanctioned since 20 years. And look at them now, they have their own nuke. Did these sanctions made it better?

Not saying they were right or wrong, just that no one else cared enough to want to do anything about it...

Trade embargoes are usually the result of an act of aggression rather than an act of aggression themselves. Cutting a country off from trade is a great way to stop them from behaving aggressively. Especially countries that are more heavily reliant on trade. Why would they want to attack other countries if they know that they'll be embargoed and therefore lose millions? As for North Korea... they weren't completely embargoed. China still traded with them. You have to wonder though if it had been a universal embargo maybe they would have changed their ways. As for them now having their own nukes, well that likely would have happened regardless of embargoes.

even china made some sanctions to north korea. If north korea would be as connected in trade like any country they wouldnt have devoloped a nuclear bomb. China trades maybe with north korea, and so used south korea to, but it was never as big to impact the country. Its something like 2 Billion $ which is nothing.
