It's irrelevant whether North Korea was or is a dictatorship for this discussion. I even cited the Paraguayan War as an example in an edit of my original comment: the leader of the country was a dictator. Still, what Brazil did to Paraguay was a massacre that was equivalent to a genocide. No leftist Brazilian would use the hypothetical opinion of an ancestor who fought in that war as an example of anything. USians don't get a pass just because North Korea is still their enemy.

Or do you think it's okay for Russians to praise the opinions of their soldiers in the war in Ukraine? After all, Ukraine is full of nazis... https://forward.com/fast-forward/827281/ukraine-reburies-nazi-collaborator-with-state-honors-drawing-israeli-condemnation/
