    It’s a strawman to say I said things I didn’t say in order to make it seem as if there is something I’ve said which can be argued against, which is exactly what you’re doing by saying “ it’s a strawman fallacy to quote things you said back to you”. If I perceived you as saying something, and you clarified what you meant and revealed I was perceiving it wrong compared to what you intended, I would respect this.

    Yeah good some website says they’re isolationist, because they say they are.

    …as opposed to? It’s not pointing out a contradiction or hole or exposing a lie simply to dismiss the article’s claim.

    Conditions that, say it with me, are imposed by the us.

    …based on?

    It is in fact incredibly simple to both visit the dprk, as long as you’re not American

    You say that like being restricted to one area when you visit and needing a supervisor is that much better.

      Allright you’re just going in circles, it’s obvious you refuse to engage with anything I put in front of you, and you keep behaving as if I haven’t gone into every single one of your arguments. You’re wasting both of our times by willfully choosing to be obtuse, so I am going to disengage from this conversation

        Did you not ask for more sources and did I not give a few more? Did I not ask what criteria you want us to go by with sources and did you not say there was no inherent criteria except to demonstrate where points in an article conflict? If in your answer to that question you were explaining your chosen criteria, you have a funny way of showing it.

          You’ve given exactly one more, which I engaged with. Stop being obtuse.
          I’ve given you the criteria. You kept asking for the criteria, yet you had received it.

            Alright, if that’s the criteria (even though it can be perceived as a lack thereof), then there’s really nothing you’re going by or can go by based on your sources because they’re all even in that regard.

            I’ll give an example in one of them. One of your sources claims that North Korea allows people in like any other nation as long as it’s not one of their three opponents… yet the sources also allude to the fact it’s barricaded, with a river to the North and a guarded wall to the South.
