How can he have a conscious getting fatter and obese while his people starve and scavenge?

Nobody cares Kim. Nobody has any plans or desire to invade North Korea. There are no riches or rare elements, nothing worth coveting, and certainly nothing worth the cost or lives it would take doing it.

You cant feed yourselves and cant trade with most of the world. Russia is only interested in you because for them, you do have something of worth. You have plenty of soldiers for their meat grinder and stockpiles of munitions and missiles for their invasion of Ukraine. Soon, when that ends you may find Putin a little more distant.

So spend your resources on a nuclear weapons arsenal, just understand that nobody has used one against someone else in eighty years and if anyone does, they can kiss goodbye to any relations with most nations, if some of you manage to survive an exchange.

Better if you feed, educate, employ your people to make a better nation for your all your citizens. Nukes only have one real use, to keep others away, and you already have that.

Because FatBoy Kim is in training to become a Sumo rikishi, that's why.

Of course he did. What else does he ever vow?

The dude needs needs dark sunglasses to go with the look - really is like something out of a comic book.

Don't let the NK people hear that, it's the only thing keeping lil kim alive.

Not a fan of NK but wouldn't an alternative approach better suit both sides ?

How about moves towards a treaty ?

Unfortunately The USA, S. Korea and Japan have all invaded North Korea within living memory, so it doesn't take much for Kim and his cronies to convince the populace of the threat.

Please do not expand nuclear program, as nukes only hurt the environment, living things of all countries . . . . Hopefully, countries in the region, i.e. Japan, S. Korea, N. Korea, US, can work on better international relations . . . .

Kim doesn't have to worry after Lee Jae Myung is elected president.

Kimmie is just trying to get Trump's attention again. He liked the limelight he enjoyed during that period when they were trying to negotiate a deal on NK nuclear program during Trump's first term. Probably liked the name "Rocketman".

If he ever fires on the US, Japan, or S Korea, he and his "palace" will last about 20 minutes.

How about China in that picture?

Hilarious. Show me the signed treaty. Maybe Yoon has a copy in his jail cell.

U.S.-Japan-South Korea trilateral security partnership established under a U.S. plot to form a NATO-like regional military bloc

The dirty interventionism of US only brings caos, crisis and winds of war..

-5 ( +2 / -7 )

The idea that he has military vehicles running on wood ovens should tell you the truth about his fake world. If Iran can't have nukes (at all costs) there is no way in the world the elite would allow this guy to have one. He's used as a weapon of fear. Nothing more.

Why would any one invade a dust bowl country? I think LFB is a bit paranoid

@Brian Wheway

Why would any one invade a dust bowl country?

The ROK has a constitutional obligation to liberate its citizens living under the rule of communist rebels on its territory at the earliest possible time.

This is why Kim insists on nukes to defend his kingdom from an invasion from South.

In a mean time Yoon's support rate came back up higher than 50% which is even higher than when he became SK president. Too much noise and too much ignorant emotional populace. These North and South Koreas should be ignored and left alome entirely from the rest of the world. Let them become whatever they want to be. Just too annoying.

If this person wasn’t born into the position, he would have been a lazy fat sloth. Not leader but the biggest parasite of North Korea.

I believe President Trump will re-establish a cordial working relationship with North Korea. Why fight ?
