I largely agree with this.

My biggest point of agreement is that:

DPRK should he able to chart their own course.

It's evident to me that this is not the case so long as the Kim regime is in charge.

My biggest disagreement is that we don't really know what kind of wealth the regime controls; they aren't exactly forthcoming with that information. From the outside though, they resemble the economic distribution of many other dictatorships propped up as client states by empires.

This was a pleasant conversation though; a nice break from telling fascists to get fucked.
