My respect for the DPRK and the PRC's leadership just keeps increasing every time the US bombs or coups another country. Both countries beelined towards nuclear weapons the moment they were able to, then foresaw the consequences of an unfiltered internet dominated by wealthy western corporations and sought to rectify that. They then demonstrated the effectiveness of scientific socialism by developing faster than any other nation in comparable circumstances, showing how it is imperialism, not 'authoritarianism' or whatever, that cripples a nation's economic development and the livelihood of their people.

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

side note, the fact that the PRC had their first nuke in 1964 is insane to me
