2018-04-29
[Rodong Sinmun] The respected Supreme Leader Kim Pudge Jong-un
...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished...

Kim Jong-un had a significant souvenir picture taken with Moon Jae In and embraced him in congratulation of the birth of the historic Panmunjom Declaration reflecting the unanimous desire and demand of the Korean nation.

#4  I have been to Korea a lot, all on business. Love the place. The South Korean's I have worked with always express a deep desire to get their fellow Koreans north of the border out of the hole they have dug for themselves. National identity is strong, but at the same time these is little wishful thinking. They know it will be hard.

I say have at it, and do your best. It would be good to get this on the road to resolution. North Korea can hardly continue on the path they have been walking.

#3  It might be instructive to think of Kim Jong-un as a governor, as opposed to a president.

#2  The sanctions are strangling the Norks. They've been forced to negotiate, otherwise Little Rocket Man will run out of money to bribe his generals.
