This makes sense considering what happens to everyone else who gives up their nukes: Libya, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, and Canada.

Yes. NorKor comes across like Grand Fenwick from time to time, comically pretending to be someplace anybody would see a reason to invade.

NoKo is at the forefront of the transition to eating bugs.

Public school teacher to frightened child: “Now stop worrying. Our President Biden is there to protect us. He is the Commander in Chief.”

Child: “Oh I feel so much better. Thank you.”
