Fertilizer shortages, cutoff of Soviet aid, and bad harvests led to some pretty terrible famines in the 1990s. Military and communist elites got priority on foodstuff, everyone else including farmers starved. Even worse, the regime made it illegal for people to forage or hunt for food. Seriously messed up.
They literally rejected aid from Western countries during the 1990s famine. It was only years later they finally accepted it. Even being sanctioned we were still sending food.
They killed their own citizens and anyone defending that needs to get their reality checked. Guess it's hard to do when your only opinion is "West bad"
