cmh_sprint Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Should be interesting to watch this transition since by all accounts I've seen his son is as odd as he was. Edited December 19, 2011 by cmh_sprint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Eh, no big deal, nothing is going to change in north Korea, its people will still be starving, naked masses relegated to either suffering a slow and tortuous death in the concentration camps and salt mines or an equally slow death pledging fealty to a man they revere as a god while they barely scratch out a living as a dirt farmer. The 1% of the population that lives above abject poverty will continue to live in fear of a bat shit crazy dictator that has people abducted, tortured, imprisoned and killed regularly. We should just bomb that entire miserable shitty fucked up country off the map for good and put ts people out of their misery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-bus Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Daddy set the bar pretty low, so I'm not sure that we'll see drastic changes... unless he tries to earn his international man-card somehow. I, honestly, am not sure what I think our role should be in this. I'm tending to lean more towards the isolationist, but how much rope do we give a nuclear power with an unstable leader (as we have been led to believe)? I tend to feel that a country's treatment of its citizens is none of our business, but we can't sit back and let another 6,000,000 (insert oppressed peoples here) be slaughtered. Where is our line? Not that I have any impact on what happens over there, but I have to search for that compass-reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beegreenstrings Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Time calls Kim Jong Un "a tyrant waiting". Should certainly be interesting.If the son is half as baked as the dad, the world and that country needs to still stay alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
