The DPRK noted that Donald Trump said that he would take possession of recovered stolen crypto as a state reserve. Their media noted dryly that when the coins are recovered, it would be good to watch where they go and that information should lead one to ask qui bono.

The funny think about the DPRK is that because no one will ask a single critical question about something bad said about them, you can say literally anything and pin the blame on them.

DPRK has shown the world how to be small but sovereign: build rockets.

Vietnam, before them, has shown how to get the oppressor out: strong shared identity + play the numbers game.

Iran and Russia have been watching.

It's funny how a govt run by a shadow govt of banker/big-XYZ oligarchy (with some performative democracy on top) is totally legitimate, but a ruler on the other side of the iron curtain is a "dictator" :)

Are we really fucking serious about running defense for North Korea. I think you need to dunk your head in a bucket of ice water
