    The reason the DPRK is allowed to have nukes is because they already have nukes. Iran would not have been bombed if it had nukes.

      Easiest way to see through the propaganda of “Iran is two weeks away from having nukes.”

      DPRK wasn’t allowed though, the wealthy elites were heavily sanctioned for it by most of the world, and China loudly complained about that for some reason.

        It doesn’t really matter if bigger countries finger-wag the DPRK or try to commit genocide on its population via sanctions, they still cannot turn back time to an era where the DPRK was nukeless. That’s why it’s been able to steadily develop over time, and reduce reliance on other countries like the USSR, which was a major factor in the 1990s famine. The DPRK has been sanctioned since its inception, this is nothing new for them.
