In terms of the truth or morality of praising Kim, no. But it's not as if there is no logic: Venezuela has an active opposition, NK doesn't, so we are dealing w/the existing regime. I don't agree with the latter, but as a matter of realpolitik, it's a strategy. https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/1109158308970139649 …

Also true. Folks like Bernie were praising Venezuela's system not long ago. NK has been a Stalinist hellhole since the 1950shttps://twitter.com/markovitisb/status/1109160395787419648 …

Daniel Markovits @markovitisbReplying to @baseballcrankI think it is also a strategy in domestic politics, it seems far easier to tie Maduro to existing political factions in the US than Kim, whose monarchical-Stalinist half-theocracy is just too removed from anything contemporary outside of North Korea.1 reply 1 retweet 10 likesShow this thread
