Why do people assume kim is like his dad? He seems way more unhinged to me.

No no this spring is the real total escalation and imminent doomsday, not like the previous 20 springs where the exact same shit happened like clockwork and even had more provocation and violence and less half-posturing
They didn't even bother with a nuke test this year and there were no tit for tat weapons fired let alone ships sunk and yet he's making a run on canned baked beans and bottled water


It just seems way more logical that it's meant as humor or he's just very young and entered the world of politics in November. It would be like walking up to El Choppo in Mexico and demanding you get a cut of his money for trafficking in a tunnel under your property you just bought lol. This time were saying "how bout you get nothing you want and here is what happens if you want to play the game you got away with for years"

Hard to tell with all their great freedom of press and speech and all of their wonderful reporters. He gets to make up an autobiography and can turn it into Avatar. I agree with you though.

Isn't a huge chunk of the US's debt on China's hands? I know that doesn't mean that China owns the US and can tell them what to do, but if things get heated it's still probably enough to influence them to not wage this war. It just isn't worth it.


Most of it is owed to the american people..

If war breaks out between USA and NK, America would be in trouble because it'd be China AND Russia taking NK's side. Pretty sure the White House does not want that.

Why would they side with a dictatorship that has no value to them beyond being a territory with some tactical importance to Russia and a buffer to the civilized South Korea for China? Russia threw a hissy fit when it couldn't feed on the teats of the US and almost started a war over it. China's economy is dependent on american consumers. Neither of them are going to fight us.

... Gaining more population , gaining more natural resources, it would cause an effect of South Korea potentially having its economy eclipse China. South Korea might be the most efficient economy in the world.

He had his uncle and his brother killed, this guy is on a different level to his father.

No nation I can think of atm surpasses them in terms of economic strength relative to the land and resources available to them to exploit, the UK is the closest competitor (that comes to my mind) with gdp that is 180% higher but nearly triple the landmass. South Korea has a stronger economy than Russia, nuff said. It's a tiny jewel of prosperity on a gigantic continent of shit.

So yeah, I'm a fan.
