#1 Now THAT is a discretionary budget! 20% off the top.

(At the expense of desperate people who have been suffering for 60 years. Great guy.)

#3 With pork, kickbacks, special considerations, bribes, and under the table deals, he'd do way better over here. Oh, and he'd also get a salary.

Besides, 20% of the Nork economy isn't anything to crow about.

#5 I'm willing to bet that the 20% represents Party spending, not just Kim family dosh. Since the other two items were "public services" and the military. The Party isn't technically part of the public, and really, even for a shithole like North Korea, you can't waste 20% of a national budget on beer and hookers, not even if you count the palatial bunkers and private guards.

#6 Asked if the North is likely to abandon its nuclear weapons program, he said, "There is no such possibility. But the North won't use the weapons. They're a means to maintain the regime."

I bet the Iranian Govt are thinking the same thing!

#7 Change that to "maintain influence in the Gulf region", and it'd be accurate.
