Why would the DPRK ever need the ability to bypass North Atlantic Treaty Organization defenses when the DPRK is nowhere near the North Atlantic? Somebody who is good at geopolitics please explain

NATO forces invaded North Korea during the Korean war, and they'll do it again if given the opportunity.

NATO is a coalition of reactionary forces against socialism. And North Korea is socialist.

If not joke post, South Korea is an strategic partner of the US and likely uses the same countermeasures. It's unlikely that the US has different defenses for NATO and other theaters, the money in their MIC is exorbitant but not unlimited lol.
