Iran had a consulate bombed and wants to establish to Israel that it's not allowed to do something like that. I don't see how anyone is "being played" by that.

Would explain it taking hours

A brutal crackdown on the ability of the bourgeoisie to influence elections, buy politicians, and hold office, such that liberals will crow about "human rights" and "freedom" being violated. We can draw fine distinctions between different systems, but fundamentally they still fall on the same side of the fence.

What Trump Derangement Syndrome does to a mf

Should be pretty doable if you keep a little packet of seeds on your person

Presumably "decadent" here means "glorifying capitalism" or wasteful excess more generally, which (not unlike what happened with Germany) is one of the main ways that South Korean media exports try to pander to people's more base desires and these are used to try to exert soft power. It's probably not the best way to go about things, but I'm not in or managing a country under siege.

It shouldn't be hard to understand that what the US cares about are the rights of capital and of empire, not human rights

"It's a Bad Country and the actions taken against it by the US are the fault of the Bad Country's leadership, not the US"

"Oh, but I'm not supporting the US, merely absolving them of guilt"

Chickenshit nonsense

This was true of, what? Denmark? But not the Nordic countries writ large.

However what is important to remember is that the sanctions are imposed based on the regimes actions against it's population

I don't know every single sanction against the DPRK, but over the last 40 years the sanctions have all been in connection to nuclear development and things like that. Also, it's rich that you talk about communists being hypocrites while you take western powers at their word for why they are imposing sanctions that starve people by your own admission. The US has done and is doing much crueler things to the people of these states than the states themselves have ever done in any but the most unhinged fantasies.

equal competition for the power

Show me any state where there is an "equal competition for power" in any general sense. The Democrats and Republicans having similar degrees of power means nothing but a duopoly if they each exist above democracy as private entities (and they do) and there is no "equal" competition with more progressive groups.

But it is true that political opposition is forbidden and the only allowed party is the communist, right?

Calling for the overthrow of the entire government apparatus is forbidden there, as it is everywhere, but opposing particular policies and platforms is normal.

Please cite me where I state that I support this policy?

I hate when people try to be slick, and it's even more annoying when they suck at it:

Well it's a one party dictatorship, and . . . the responsibility lies on the Cuban leadership.

All this ignoring that you are misrepresenting both Cuba and the effect of the sanctions.

In gommunist chyna . . .

if he declared war with them (which a president is technically unable to do)

This would be a worthwhile comment in 1950. Today, it just looks like you are clinging to what your high school civics class taught you like it has any bearing on the world.

It really makes you feel like harm is being reduced

Bear witness to the sickest shot while suckers get romantic

They ain't gonna send us campin' like they did my man Fred Hampton

Still we lampin', still clockin' dirt for our sweat

A ballot's dead, so a bullet's what I get

A thousand years they had the tools, we should be takin' 'em

Fuck the G-ride, I want the machines that are makin' 'em

Unfortunately for your ideology, most Chinese people support their government:

How do you reconcile this? Shall we trot out some paternalisms about "brainwashing" next?

No, like, I get that he evidently didn't understand it, but I find your question strange as it presupposes that she is "flexing" about a paper rather than complaining about how presumptuous some of her fellows can be.
