"Their own" countries? Here we see the West-o-centric assumption
again, that all subscribers on this list are necessarily from the
West..

Why should a non-western socialist, whose county has never oppressed
DPRK, nor bombed Iraq or Afghanistan, defend DPRK against imperialism?

And from the point of view of DPRK citizens, who is the worst danger?
Their own government, or imperialism?
