One Kim to rule them all
[AEI.org] Laugh if you want at the fat little men with bad haircuts who always seem to be in charge of the place, or the pants-wetting adulation at its immense choreographed rallies for those same Supreme Leaders, or even its robotic spokesmen’s unfathomable barking blather. Laugh at its late-Buck-Rogers-era architecture in its Potemkin capital, Pyongyang, or at any and all of its other uber-kitsch signature features that make the North Korean system so exquisitely mock-able to the outside world. Laugh if you want, but the North Korean threat is as serious as a heart attack. North Korea’s leadership is methodically preparing for a nuclear showdown against the United States and its allies in the Korean peninsula ‐ and it is planning to win that confrontation. If that ambition sounds like insane, over-the-top conceit from an insane, over-the-top dictatorship, look at the facts on the ground to date. Continues. Posted by: Anomalous Sources 2018-02-19 |
