N Korea closes more nuclear sites
An IAEA team is in North Korea to monitor the closures

North Korea has shut down all five nuclear facilities at its main Yongbyon complex, International Atomic Energy Agency head Mohamed ElBaradei says.

IAEA monitors in North Korea had verified the four new closures, Mr ElBaradei told journalists in Malaysia.

North Korea shut down its sole working reactor at Yongbyon on Saturday.

The move comes with international envoys meeting in the Chinese capital, Beijing, to discuss the next steps in North Korea's nuclear disarmament deal.

What are other comrades opinions on the DPRK's disarmament deal? Is it a good move in the long term for their revolution? Should we condemn them for giving in to Western pressure? What were the real motives behind the deal?

their revolution?

I wouldn't consider the North Korean example to be a successful revolution.

Also, nukes aren't completly necessary to "protect a revolution."

Cuba states not to have any and their "revolution" has been there since like the 50s-60s.
