Legit how does NK seem so un-infiltrated by western agents, so much that they have their own spies, while Iran and Russia seem so compromised?

Is it just the length of de-linking from the global economy?

There definitely are spies, the border w china is pretty open so people go between all the time. Ik there used to be feds who during the famine in the 90s would ask people to cut off ox tails for money because ox lose their balance and strength to till the land without their tails etc

Theres probably just a genuine active culture against espionage because culture is such a big element of juche.

They don't lose their balance, but they do lose the ability to fend off pests. USA has a history of insect-based biowarfare against Korea, though, we know that for certain. I know the interview you're talking about, I always wondered if they misinterpreted what the opps were going around doing
