They’re not wrong
Not like it’ll do them any good. In fact it might make more people defect after seeing they were lied to about the rest of the world.
it might make more want to defect (though any information gained by the state will not be widely diseminated unless it supports their narrative), but it has become far, far more difficult to defect successfully over the past decade or so. i watched a pretty interesting video about it a week or so ago, if you’re interested, but basically, the northern border with china is a lot more fortified and policed, china will deport any caught defectors back to NK and has a huge surveillance state appparatus, and the coyotes charge a hell of a lot more to help folks escape than most north koreans can afford. and then covid happened, and now it’s even more locked down than ever.
Interesting article, but leaves some important questions open. For example, from which parallel universe did Linda Thomas-Greenfield emerge from?
“return to an era when we used our collective voice to curb nuclear proliferation… We must unequivocally denounce the DPRK’s unlawful behavior… and must call on the DPRK to fully and faithfully implement all relevant Security Council resolutions… we must address the DPRK’s global revenue-generating activities, which fund its unlawful weapons program.”

So do other sovereign countryes reserve the right to shoot it down?
They can try to spy on other countries.
Other countries can try to stop them.
You get your rights when you become a normal functioning, contributing member of the society. If all you do is fuck around bombing my country, sorry you can’t and shouldn’t do shit.
It’s funny when tankies who don’t even live here and watch my people get killed and hear all the horrible shit they did talk about their sovereignity. Dillusional or not, by South Korean constitution, they are not sovereign state.
You are correct but I will put it a different way.
North Korea holds power over its people thru the use of force, violence and intimidation. And the world as well as most people think the current government is legitimate. By that logic, anyone or any authority that can take out that government thru the use of force or violence or intimidation would be just as legitimate.
In other words what makes Kim Jong Un more legitimate than if China were to install a puppet leader or if there US were to forcefully remove him and institute a democratic system as in South Korea?
Personally I think you are just as legitimate to attain and hold power providing you use the same rules as the current government used to attain and hold power.
