[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. |

| #4 Kim's or a High and Tight? Came in vogue in the 80s when they issued the new (now old) helmets, natural padding on the top cushioned the straps unless you were follicly challenged, then you used a foam insert. |

| #3 I was at a nice restaurant in San Diego a month or so ago when three Asian guys walked into the place all sporting Kim Jung Un haircuts. Gotta watch out for that guy. He's a real trend setter. |

| #2 "Songbun formalizes and perfects techniques of social atomization that Stalin and Mao only pioneered, transforming divide-and-rule into a science, and thus routinizing internal mutual mistrust and hatred to a degree perhaps never attained through deliberate government policy." Sound familiar? |

| #1 ambition sounds like insane, over-the-top conceit from an insane, over-the-top dictatorship, look at Germany, 1933-45? |
