I watched a video recently that explained this idea. We create millions of counterfeited North Korean won, and then we bomb major North Korean population centres with the money. People will immediately use the money to buy goods and services that they were not able to afford previously. This leads to rapid inflation, as goods and services become more expensive, causing a negative feedback loop. Hyperinflation, basically. This would destroy the North Korean economy and do a lot more damage than sanctions ever would. The only problem is the ensuing refugee crisis as North Korea collapses into anarchy. That refugee thing wouldn't be a problem for those Americans. I'm sure it would be a problem for Americans if China's economy takes a massive hit from the millions of North Koreans crossing the border. Unfortunately for America, we live in a global economy.
