Idk if North Vietnam had the same diplomatic relations. Was South Vietnam considered a seceded sovereign state at the Paris Peace accords?

    the US maintains its relevance by portraying the DPRK as the rogue "other" that its puppet needs protection from

    it's the liberal contradictory nonfalsifiable orthodoxy. the DPRK is a dangerous totalitarian communist terrorist state that will destroy other nations around it if the pressure is given up for even a moment; it's also simultaneously a weak, delusional, poverty-stricken kingdom ruled by a corrupt and incompetent ruler which would crumble in hours in a war as the people inside rebelled.

    both things cannot be true at the same time but western populations (most especially those in the ROK) must be propagandized to believe it or the US strategy around the DPRK looks nonsensical.
