Rockets take Fuel, so Consider Taking the Fuel from North Korea

  Wonder whether President Trump's sanctions mean we will cut off their oil. If I understand correctly, he, in essence, is saying if you trade with North Korea, we won't trade with you. That forces countries to choose between a small trading partner and a big one. Which will they pick?
  Does it mean no more oil for the North? For the past week, I've thought and discussed with others what this would mean. No oil means no fuel to fire missiles. If you know you can ground their military, you do it. Or, do we have reason to fear the repercussions? If we do this, will North Korea simply launch all their warheads while the little bit of oil they have remains? Also, we do not know how much oil they have stockpiled, for surely they have seen the possibility this could happen.
