I don't think that's necessarily true. Many think Kim is just a figurehead, much like Hirohito was in Japan.
One thing I've noticed from watching Nork TV, is that Kim rarely gives speeches. He usually is just sitting there, basically doing nothing.
That may very well be.
But, who in North Korea benefits from a nuclear exchange?
Dead and broke is dead and broke.
I thought about that.
China benefits.
Maybe the Chinese really are pulling the strings there.
Let them know they can be held accountable.
Would China be the boss, in that case? Is Kim their wind up madman toy?
