He's doing what's best for him, not his country, just like his father and his father before him. The people of North Korea have not benefited from their isolationist and provocative government which has seen concentration camps for minor transgressions against the regime, famines or just the everyday abject poverty outside of Pyongyang.

Yes be patriotic but don't be sheeple when it comes to the Kim Jung Un is evil and so is Putin. Every other country does the same things they do but strategically the Russia, China and Korea coalition are together to protect against the EU and America coalition and vice versa, when you simplify it that way.

You don't need to be a sheeple. You can read the accounts of those who've escaped North Korea, a very dangerous endeavor considering you're not allowed to leave with special exemption, to see what the regime is like.
And there is no Russian/Chinese/Korean coalition. China tolerate North Korea because they don't want American power on their doorstep but that's the extent of their interest in North Korea in recent decades. Russia's interest dropped away after the end of the Soviet Union and with it their financial support for the country. I doubt either is enthusiastic about the prospect of them having nuclear weapons. There is no nation state lending any real help to North Korea.
People can go too far the other way with this (healthy) skepticism of Western foreign policy and lending any moral or political legitimacy to North Korea is one such example. They're a immoral, dangerous and failed state.
