That is a picture of a guy who’s going to live a long, long time.
He supposedly already has plans for his... sister? to take over if he dies.The bigger peoblem is they're a bigger warhawk than kimmy.
Isn't that the same sister that western media was fawning over when they thought the current leader had died?
Surely. I doubt they'd fawn over anyone else.
She may already be the actual decision-maker/leader and he's just a figurehead. There's quite a bit of evidence that's the case.
Hmm, that'd definitely explain the rise in warhawkery.
Title SHOULD read...
"North Korea launches a suspected intermediate-range ballistic missile that can reach distant US bases...ONCE."
NK would be a smoldering pile of radioactive ash before it made a second launch. And Lil' Kim knows it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that it detected the launch of a ballistic missile of an intermediate-range class from the North’s capital region on Sunday afternoon.
The Japanese coast guard, quoting the Defense Ministry, said the suspected missile was believed to have landed in the ocean.
In mid-November, North Korea’s state media said it had successfully tested solid-fuel engines for a new intermediate-range ballistic missile that observers say is likely designed to hit U.S. military bases in Okinawa, Japan and the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam.
Leader Kim Jong Un, during visits last week to munitions factories, called South Korea “our principal enemy” and threatened to annihilate it if provoked, the North’s state media said Wednesday.
Experts say Kim likely wants to see South Korean liberals pursue rapprochement with North Korea while maintaining a parliamentary majority status and for former U.S. President Donald Trump to be elected again.
In a key ruling party meeting in late December, Kim vowed to expand his nuclear arsenal and launch additional spy satellites to cope with what he called U.S.-led confrontational moves.
