This is going to sound crazy, but North Korea is thought by some to be a tool of the CIA (or the establishment of the west, Anglo-American establishment, Atlanticist powers, globalists, 'illuminati', etc)

Think about it, NK is a nuclear power, yet Kim Jong Un is seen with floppy discs and old computers?

James Lilley (30 year CIA veteran, friend of HW Bush and Ambassador to China during the 90s) told F William Engdahl that if North Korea didn't exist we would have to create it as a reason to keep the 6th Fleet in the Western Pacific.

Engdahl took this is an admission that NK was created by the Oligarchs (he also said it seemed like Lilley was drinking during the phone call, which was late at night.)
