I know lots of DPRK-posting in the last hour (more than usual, sorry not sorry), but in a more public answer to a question: Yes, I'm in favour of marginalized countries arming themselves with nukes. Since being the only country to actually nuke living people, the USA has since been all about making sure no other country can get them — and you actually think it's because they feel bad for the denizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and now just want global peace? It's bloody amazing that #NorthKorea not only isn't hoarding nuclear technology and knowledge, but they're willing to share it with other nations looking for independence from the Empire. As Syria, Libya, Ukraine, and others have shown, disarmament leads directly to subjugation. A world of free and independent nations capable of engaging with one another in peace and mutuality can only be achieved today with nukes. If the Empire were to entirely disarm as they keep pressuring everyone else to do, it would be a different story, but that isn't going to happen.

tl;dr: Yes, when Kim Jong-un puts out one of those silly over-the-top videos of a big ol' missile being launched, I do think it's pretty cool.

If DPRK didn't have nukes, the empire would be doing the same to them that they're doing to Palestine right now

I am very glad that the DPRK has nukes
Iran should hurry up and get some nukes, too
If this world wasn't cowards, they'd give nukes to the Al-Qassam brigades

Libya and then the DPRK supplied them with ballistic missiles against Hussein. Their nuclear program has been going since basically the end of WW2 so I imagine it's out of fear of international retaliation that they haven't yet. They aren't socialist, don't have a dialectical theory of globalization, so it's likely their outlook keeping them back.

Who are they sharing it with? :blobcatreach:

There's discussions about it with Burkina Faso, which is what led me to this discussion. I imagine they'll want to be sure Traoré's going to be able to maintain stability first, though; it would suck for another bootlicker to kill and replace him and take the nuclear program for himself and France.
