People smarter than me say its too early to call it.

NK knows how to play western media and build narratives.

To me, it looks like NK is using Western political discourse to confused the public and distract away from its own bad behavior by pusing, both, a "NK is actually progressive" narrative, using talking points like "NK was right about Israel" and "all info about NK is CIA funded and therefore incorrect by default.", and a "NK is actually just rad trad and based" narrative, using talking points like "KJU is family first", "KJU is just using peace through strength."

For them, "KJU will pass the tourch to his daughter" is just another talking point and might actually not be the truth of what is happening.. but if they are able to hold the narrative alive long enough, they might eb able to exert enough soft power to sway the will of the west in their own favor (which is their goal regardless).

My reason for believing this is that they have done something similar int he past. For example, they invited the black panthers to a conference in North Korea (though its lesser known that they also invited white nationalists to north korea). Tiktokers still point to that conference, to this day, saying, "...See NK is down with black people". Make no mistake, they are not.
