Yeah. Very few people in power have remained down to earth. Unless maybe you are some sort of a saint or have a very powerful mind anyone is bound to go down in the path of corruption
@@theaqua1517 I disagree. I think a bare amount of integrity would prevent one diverting to the path of corruption. the problem is under capitalism corruption is all too often rewarded while decency and integrity are all too often punished...
How could you not know about his sister? It’s been widely reported that she is the next person in line and also absolutely brutal just like her brother ever since the assassination of their other brother. That was several years ago.
When Kim Yo Jong first appeared in public (2018?), the picture of her smiling cast a favorable first impression. But that quickly faded. Her words, actions and ice cold stare (as shown on the book's cover) will send chills down anyone's spine. You could imagine her 'pressing the button' because someone looked at her too long, or just because she had a 'bad hair' day. I hope China understands that if she went ballistic, the fallout from north Korea will drastically affect the neighboring areas of China.

@@cherylalt101 Yeah, Africa is kicking out remainders of colonial powers now. And some are still licking those colonial boots. US is still clinging to gunboat diplomacy, assassinations of world leaders, violent coups, ... .
You're in one, and the worst part about it is that since you don't think you're in one, the government literally is less responsive than dictatorships to public opinion. The blame in the USA and other large democracies gets buck-passed constantly, so elites can just pass whatever they want against what is publicly popular. Since the blame is diffused, everybody has a plausible out. "I'm just one congressperson, so it's not my fault", "I tried to change this, but the courts shut me down". Whatever the borg wants, you're fucked, where at least whatever happens in North Korea can be blamed on Kim.
Thank You All for your coverage of international news and issues in depth, like we see nowhere else in today's very US-centered, navel-staring and world oblivious media market. You give me hope as well as a far more nuanced and informed view of the world. Congratulations🎉
The sister, the sister would not hesitate to take out the daughter to save her own skin. She’s pure evil. Altho I have no doubt the daughter will be bought up to be just as ruthless.
Gotta love the idea of a country as the family business. I have the feeling that we're going to hear a lot about this person, and we're not going to like what we hear.
Because (1) their military power threatens South Korea and Japan, (2) the dictator uses nuclear weapons to threaten the world, especially USA and Japan, (3) their not-so-secret conduction of international criminal actions such as drugs and oil and gas smuggling, and (4) the dictators political persecution and starvation of their own people.
It seems like every time N. Korea is ignored for too long, they start "missile testing" and "war games" for attention. It's a pattern I've noticed since the 70s or 80s at least. If Iran especially or any other opponent to the west is getting too much attention on the world stage, then N. Korea will start any nonsense to make themselves more relevant. Of course, the problem is if we don't take them serious to a certain extent, you never know what they might actually do. It's been a successful although annoying tactic for decades lol. Can you imagine even having a position like the Deputy Director of Propaganda and Agitation like the sister holds? Anyhoo, I think that's part of how N. Korea continues to get the time of day from anyone lol. Personally, I'm surprised Kim Jung Un lets his sister become this powerful. If she's not careful and appears too popular or ambitious, he'll probably have her killed or accuse her of corruption or something unless she gets him first lol. Ruthless family politics are very dangerous in these sorts of families! Have a lovely day Deborah! 🕊🍀🕊
Because they are danger to their citizens, neighbours and the world. The leaders are brutal and cruel. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and they are corrupt.
Kim Jong Un doesn't want me dead for being white, so the discussion is automatically over as to whether the NK leadership would be better than US/Canadian leadership. As for economy/military? If they magically took over you would probably see a rapid decline in free speech about the NK royal family and government in particular, but arguably an increase in free speech nearly everywhere else. The economy would probably get worse but then slowly liberalize and in a few decades be about at par with the economy we currently have. It would start off noticeably worse but in 30 years be a total wash. Research would also probably improve because the US and Canada explicitly hates a large portion of their high quality, research-potential population and wants them dead in private and out of research/tech positions in public.
I think the way their going and if they keep on the same path we will most likely find a country full of corpses like going into some desolate place where nobody’s been for hundreds of years and decided to take a look to see if anyone still lives there and if everyone ignores them for a couple of hundred years that’s exactly what we’ll find just leave them its unkind but the best solution to a problem that is way over our heads iam afraid sometimes there are no solutions offcourse way out of our time because we’ll be all gone as well who knows they’ll be stuck in a time zone ohh the twilight zone i used to like that series facinating and interesting 💟☮️☸️🕉️🛐🌹🌈🌈☔️☔️🩵🥰🇦🇺🇦🇺🇲🇨🇺🇦🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙🙏🙏
My thoughts exactly. I thought the 3rd generation would change the game with compassion. Being educated in the US and Switzerland. Wow! That hope is Long Gone. The Kim family owns the people of their country.
Like you said a bad nightmare from the midieval era or some despot came out of the depth of some hellhole and thats where they’ ll return when their time is up you know some how you’v got to feel a deep sorrow for these kinds of people because of going through life not knowing any different but i guess if there are beautifull enlightened ones than in this world i guess there would be demons and downright evil spirits hell bent in fire 🔥
In short she aims to be like Boa Hancock/Pirate Empress from One Piece except in this case this is an actual country and i think her beauty and he being a girl would make it much easier to fall into the trap of submitting to her . Although that vile words and actions maybe a turn off lol
No because they’ll do that themselves Amen and Amen to that who need’s enimy’s when you’v got friends like the kim family and you call those brutish despots ( people? ) the darkest of the darkest of some monstress incarnation for an excuse of ( human beings ) ?.!! 🤮🤮🤢god forbid 😱( for entertainment purposes only offcourse ) !!!!

Very informative and valuable info! Must read!
On borrowed time . All tyrants eventually fall.
If Kim passes away in 10 years, who takes over? The sister or daughter?
The sister, the sister would not hesitate to take out the daughter to save her own skin. She’s pure evil. Altho I have no doubt the daughter will be bought up to be just as ruthless.
The daughter is still too young to be a leader so probably the sister. Other candidates are the uncle or one of the other Kim John Un's children
Excellent. Thank you.

Gotta love the idea of a country as the family business. I have the feeling that we're going to hear a lot about this person, and we're not going to like what we hear.
I would like to read the book. Very interesting interview.
The eyes are the window to the soul…or absence of one.
Kim Yo Jong is so scary even her brother is scared of her.
she more brutal than her brother.
I do not know why anyone gives the ruling North Koreans the time of day🇨🇦
Because (1) their military power threatens South Korea and Japan, (2) the dictator uses nuclear weapons to threaten the world, especially USA and Japan, (3) their not-so-secret conduction of international criminal actions such as drugs and oil and gas smuggling, and (4) the dictators political persecution and starvation of their own people.

Is it just me that sees the north Korean rulers as fearful of losing the old ways. I wonder how theyll be like in another 100 years. Going Nowhere.
