The DPRK defeated the US despite it killing 1 out of every 5 people, and having nearly half their country destroyed:
Vietnam suffered similar ruthless civilian bombing campaigns and massacres, and defeated the US.
Why are you arguing that their military movement is what made them successful? Vietnam is successful from their governance not because many died.
Vietnan won militar combat against 3 imperialist countries, if you havent heard about it
Yes, that’s literally what I responded to. Governance is their real success story is my obvious point
