I would like to think that if all of those ancient men in military uniforms were to suddenly catch a particularly bad flu, this young man would be much more amiable to improving relations with SK and the USA. In our country, we say, Lead, Follow, or Get out of the Way. I think the oligarchy of military leaders who stand behind Kim Un are telling him, Pretend to lead, Follow our instructions, or die. I may well be wrong, however, I pity him. Respectfully, C.
You hit the nail on the head! They probably even don’t have to threaten him, he is so brain-washed (like the rest of the population) that he thinks “This is how things always have been, this is how they should be!”. A “Heraldry Communist Leader” is an oxymoron that would have Marx and Engels rotate in their graves!

PS: Did I get “Heraldry” right in this context? I meant “from grandfather to father to son”…
I think you mean hereditary? Heraldry usually applies to the coat of arms on armor, banners and shields. Like the coat of arms for German cities. I have several mugs with the colors of Heidelberg, Koln, Munich, etc given me by my uncle who served in Germany in the late 50s. hope that helps. C
quick, make sure there is an anti N Korea YouTube Video in the Que so when a Spontaneous Nuclear Missile goes off Obama has something to talk about at the UN. but aaah at this point in time what does it matter anyway? Obama can just have others go around the talk shows and tell his lies of what really happened. Not like there is an election or anything and the lame stream media has anything better to do.
I was looking at night pictures taken from orbit of that part of the world. Japan, China, and South Korea were lit up while North Korea was a black spot. For some reason it made me feel very sad.
The only thing really keeping North Korea from collapsing under its own weight is China. Sometimes I wonder if it’s some sort of idealism thing, propping up one of the few Communist countries remaining in the area, trying to counterbalance the US-backed South Korea… or if China simply doesn’t want to deal with the flood of millions of refugees that would come flooding over their border if North Korea folded.
I know. I saw a tv program several years ago where some guy risked his life and concealed a camera and showed the deplorable conditions there. My heart hurts for his people.
I am not voting for this guy. But are not we being bullies and by making him look like a idiot and belittling him will make him thne do the things his dad did
Just happened to come across an article in the “Times of India” where parents in North Korea have been caught eating their children to avoid starvation.
One man supposedly “dug up his grandchild’s corpse to eat and another who boiled his child and ate the flesh.” . http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/Starving-North-Koreans-eating-own-kids-corpses/articleshow/18231271.cms
I get the impression that whenever N. Korea starts to make these nonsensical claims, it is just a way for them to get the U.S. to the negotiation table so they can get more food aid or whatever without looking like they are begging. If they can claim through the Official News Agency that they have threatened the U.S., and that the “Imperialist Running-Dog Lackeys” are paying them bribes of food aid to NOT use their fearsome weapons, then it’s merely a face-saving ploy and propaganda for them to feed their people. Since N.Korea, and the rest of the world KNOWS that within about 3 seconds of a missile launch from ANYWHERE on the Korean Peninsula we would know it, be able to shoot down whatever missile they might actually be able to get to fly, and it would bring down swift, and very violent retribution, it’s all just a show for their people.
Seems their Military Industrial complex is running the country. (hint hint) Is it crazy to act this way when feeling oppressed from every direction? Have we not seen this type of response/action in the past? {1930’s Germany?} Can we find some way to peacefully bring them into the world community or do we just pound them over the head and possibly make matters worse. [just spit-balling thoughts]

Very good artwork!

Sad, but scary, since we have no clue about this guy or his advisers. We’re relying on 2nd,3rd and 4th hand reports.

We need drones flying 24/7 at ready to bomb the missiles on the ground. If there needs to be an ‘occupy’ movement it is in N Korea.
