His father or grandfather once explained to a compatriot of his who timidly wondered how he could ‘justify’ a shipment of cases of very expensive cognac (a favorite drink of the North Korean elites) while millions of his subjects were starving to death because of crop failure and mismanagement? He patiently explained that he had to set an example how live their lives – he was eating (and drinking) for ALL his people and setting a shining example for all to follow! There was no mention of what happened to the poor schmuck who brought up the subject.
