North Korea Dictator execute staff.

Post Reply New Topic

Fresh from yesterday..

What is wrong with this guy?

He basically killed all his staff members involved in the Trump agreement which failed last month.

I am woefully ignorant of Korean culture despite living in an area with a large Korean population, but the idea of executing a group of people you have chosen to serve you, who have failed, would not have seemed unusually harsh in earlier days in Japan. Except that in Japan, you would have expected these people to execute themselves (if they had any honor).

Sounds like Kim has read Sun Tzu as well as The Art of the Deal.

Seems like an admission that Trump was the better negotiator.

Used to happen in England hundreds of tears ago... Henry VIII was pretty good at topping people who didn't measure up (including wives who didn't produce male heirs).

My view is that it's a result of absolute and unchallenged power vested in one individual. Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Vlad the Impaler, Caligula, Saddam Hussein... and a long list of others. I haven't mentioned the Austrian guy... Adolf somebody or other because I don't want to be accused of Godwinism.

It would make an interesting area of study how they end up like that. Henry VIII started out as a shining renaissance prince. It's possible that constant pain from a jousting wound made him a little bit... grouchy. He even claimed that some of the things he did were forced on him by external pressures and circumstances... like the execution of Thomas Cromwell.

Kim, on the other hand was born into it... maybe inured to it at an early age... who knows?

Pretty much.

One WP member ranted and raved about how "liberals love Kim so much", or some pathetic nonsense like that. You get bone headed and hot headed individuals of every creed spouting embarrassing nonsense ("get your government hands OFF of my social security" or "even Kim would be a better potus than Trump"). But in the main no mainstream American conservative or liberal (while calm and colletected) expresses any love for Kim...except one person.

Soon after that WP person made that rant about liberals loving Kim, that WPers idol (Trump) made a speech about how HE (Trump) had "fallen in love" with Kim (and it was mutual).

Trump of course being that "one person" who is the perverse exception to main stream American hatred of Kim.

But in all fairness Trump failures/successes with the Norks are neither worse/better than any previous POTUS.

There isn't much an American president can do about the Nork regime.

And I give Trump some credit: Trump cant deal with the Iranians because they are too democratic. Too much like our own Congress. But the Nork regime is like what Trump is used to dealing with: a corporation headed by a CEO who rules by fiat, and not by the rule of law. So the two leader probably do have some certain chemistry.

We’re not going to let our country become a cesspool. It’s far from being one now.

Blood is on the hands of liberals who were getting hysterical about Trump meeting Kim

They haven’t confirmed that these folks were actually executed.
