More Kim John-Un atrocities

The NK regime has killed millions through starvation alone and has executed thousands. A few more really doesn't change the picture.


the NK leaders are insane and the country is horribly and hopelessly messed up but it is not easy to do much.
 
I do wonder, if he carries on like this, there have got to be some other generals who were loyal to him who are now feeling a bit disturbed or uneasy themselves... It is possible that his uncle might well have been plotting something against him. There might well be others thinking the same... the brutal executions etc.. might have some deterrent affect on some but could well also increase the odds of someone else deciding to step up and have a pop at him. The best option really would be for someone on the inside, whether they want to become pro-western or simply think he's gone too far, to overthrow him.

Exactly. The North Koreans have no resources that the US want so they'll not get involved further.

Unless I'm mistaken NK has one of the largest deposits of rare earth metals in the world along with numerous other metal and petroleum reserves. There are numerous reasons for the US not to want to get involved, but lack of natural resources wouldn't be one of them.

Not wanting to poke the crazy guy who has access to nukes and who shares a border with one of their allies is probably up there.

The US have already intervened in Korea and spend rather large amounts stationing quite a lot of forces over there... The reason they're not intervening at the moment has got very little to do with what resources North Korea may or may not have.

I don't understand the NK culture or psychology well enough to know if its possible there but its not an unusual story in other parts of the world when people start wondering about their own necks. Though more commonly results in high level defections and eventual crumbling of the regime.
 
He kills his opponents openly unlike the slow smear and media character assassination campaigns our politicians have in our amazing democracies.

They went into resource-less Afghanistan though, unless it all was all that Aghan Home Grown they were after?

Well once NK's starts to terrorise the USA, in way of smashing planes into buildings, nearly collapsing its economy, then maybe the West will intervene.

Besides, they're really not much of a threat to the US as is. More of a hornets nest, that's best not disturbed.

Yes, we all know Kim Jong is a crazy ass fool, but until he hurts the US, the US is not going to sacrifice their own.

Good that they don't too. It would just be another 'nam.
 
North korea.. Just one more thing to add to the list of crazy. Within 10 years i can see them being destroyed by the USA/South korea or Tensions between china and North korea become too much and breaking down there economy so even the elites cant live how they do now so change will be made.

Either way its a messy situation and i hope the usa/uk actually keep out of it and let NK/China/SK and even russia sort it.
 
i think he's great,. does he have a twitter acc so i can follow him?
maybe i can be his new toy once he's had enough of Rodman and executed him
 
There's a nearly 900mi border with China north of NK.

Sad boy may be sad, but he's just the idiotic face of the regime.

If the PRC was in any way aggrieved there'd be regime change in an nano-second.

If nothing else, he's good for a laugh.

At least, that's what I hope. The 'verse help us all if he's actually in charge.

Silly Rodman though.

So because he's no threat to us, should we just let him carry on brutally executing loads of innocent people on a whim?

What would you have us do, invade? xD NK has the largest standing army in the world so it would turn into a bloody mess and lots of innocent people would die. Also we'd probs get our arse kicked
