But north Korea is a police state where they heavily censor you and the state media tells only lies and— oh wait that's also the US but also the UK where you can get arrested for being pro-Palestine, or the same in Germany where reporting on the genocide in Gaza will get you sanctioned and your finances blocked, or getting up to 2 years for saying "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" in Australia. But ignore all this, it's actually north Korea that is bad!

But north Korea is aggressive a— oh wait that's also the US and NATO right now...

But north Korea doesn't allow their citizens to leave the country—OH nevermind that's the UN doing the blocking.

But never fear! With my intelligent liberal mind, I will just say that BOTH sides are bad! HA HA I am so fucking smart!

Every liberal concerning DPRK.

DPRK citizens leave all the time to China or Vietnam or Laos and so forth. They are not allowed to go to any US' allied countries due to the extremely harsh and unjustified sanctions imposed by the US empire.

All Member States shall take the necessary steps to prevent the entry into or transit through their territories of the persons designated by the Committee or by the Security Council as being responsible for, including through supporting or promoting, DPRK policies in relation to the DPRK’s nuclear-related, ballistic missile-related and other weapons of mass destruction-related programmes, together with their family members, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall oblige a state to refuse its own nationals entry into its territory;

Is that not specifically related to weapons of mass destrction? So not all north korean citizens.

including through supporting or promoting, DPRK policies in(...)

This means any support when it relates to self-defence. When you look into the history of DPRK and what the US has done to it then DPRK has every right to actually produce weapons of deterrence and the citizens have every reason to agree.
