US Archery Budget v. Pyongyang

From George Will's editorial this week -

"[T]he administration believes it found, in Banco Delta Asia, a lever that moved Pyongyang. The Macau bank was pressured into freezing 52 accounts holding $24 million — yes, million, not billion — of North Korean assets because Pyongyang has been using them for illicit purposes. If Pyongyang flinched from being deprived of $24 million — less than Americans spend on archery equipment in a month — Pyongyang's low pain threshold suggests how fragile, and hence perhaps how containable, that regime is."
