This commenter is suggesting people treat the US like they treat NK.
US - NK relations are very one sided. US is offering aid and NK is offering threats. From my understanding the country lives in a hard mix of ignorance and fear because of their government. NK also threatens our allies with nuclear destruction. We still present them with aid.
It is fun and cute to point at all the stuff the US does wrong but I can literally change my president, I can speak ill of them and the information they hide often still comes to light so for OP to suggest people treat the US like that they’re choosing to frame them as equals when they’re really not. World isn’t perfect but the US government is miles above the NK one in basically all regards.
If NK had the money and the US had the famine I don’t think they’d be offering aid to the American populace in the same way the US does.
So yes it is extremely relevant to consider how you’d be treated if the roles were reversed and then you understand why these sanctions are in place. NK is no ally and most of their positions on international affairs are simply anti-west.
