Suburb to Detroit, not actually in Detroit. It came up because she said that if he just took them into the city, odds are no one would have ever caught him, then he wouldn't have had to kill himself in their Wal-Mart parking lot.

1) People in Detroit don't want to move to N. Korea. Most people still in Detroit are there by choice.
2) People in Detroit can read.
3) "suburbs of Detroit" is dumb. Just say the name or just say Detroit metro.
4) "the unions" aren't like the only reason for the collapse of the big 4. The management was awful, the budgeting was awful, the product was awful for a number of years, the response to consumer demand was poor. "The unions" were a part of a poor strategic decision on the part of management. There are countless stories from machinists, tool and die shops, drafting shops, all of the specialized work that was outsourced by the Big 4 about the incredible mismanagement and overruns. Literally every shop had a "GM account" that they dumped losses on and GM did not care or notice. Ford for a quarter century measured their invoices with a pound scale.
5) the murder rate is bad, but that clearance rate is not accurate without a link pls
6) the opportunity in Detroit is/will be incredible. Hating on Detroit is passe. It is a Larry the Cable Guy joke. It is proudly and profoundly ignorant. The only thing that is nice about it is it keeps the fearful and ignorant driving to Branson. On the highway, in their car, too dumb to comprehend the irony.

My original comment was completely tongue in cheek. I don't actually believe that anyone in Detroit wants to move to NK. However, that "huge workforce just waiting for jobs" is going to be waiting a crap ton longer since we've out sourced damn near every job that a functional illiterate could do.
The education and training of the Detroit workforce is entirely different than virtually any growth industry today. The U.S. is still No. 1 in manufacturing but the industry employs a shitload fewer people due to productivity gains.
Those same gains means that the factory workers left are smarter/have more education than the previous generation. A high school diploma was fine for the guy pulling sheet metal off a stack and throwing it on a press. Not exactly what the company is looking for to run its robotic assemblies though.
Companies are more likely to locate in an area where the populace is trained. It's why the I-70 corridor in Missouri is attracting companies like Intel, IBM and Google for data storage. Yes, they're getting some incentives from the state, electricity is marginally cheaper in some locations there, but the primary factor for most of them was there is a trained workforce already in place.
Detroit isn't coming back until it can solve some really big issues that don't have any easy answers.

:facepalm:
Yes, the I-70 corridor is full of retards.
In the 2000 census, 69 percent of people living in Detroit had a high school diploma (national rate is 83 percent) just 11 percent had a bachelors degree (half the national average).
Columbia has about half the number of bachelor's degrees despite having just 10 percent of the population of Detroit. St. Louis and KC (the actual cities) also have substantially higher rates of educational achievement than Detroit.

There was lots of good info there. Especially this:QuoteA couple of them are even Aldi stores, a chain supermarket operated by the same company that owns Trader Joes.
You didn't know that? (They aren't actually operated by the same company, but have common ownership. I'm a bit of an Aldi connoisseur.)
No, I didn't know that. But more LTJIQ, not LAIQ. Aldi is wonderful.

the city-data forum's detroit boards is always interesting
http://www.city-data.com/forum/detroit/113211-what-killed-detroit.html
there was an incredible series of articles written called Broken Detroit: Death of a City Block that I can't find anywhere on the web any more. it chronicled 50 odd years of the rise and fll of one Detroit neighborhood.

Just read that NK has the largest sports stadium in the world, seats 150,000 people for soccer matches.

Probably only fit about 100,000 normal sized people.

Pretty good documentary.
Found out they built this huge dam in the mid 80's called the barrage, its apparently one of the greatest accomplishments showing how amazing the party is and they shoot lots of official photos with it as a backdrop.
In reality it flooded valuable farmland and has contributed to the famines in the 90's...

This reminds me of the time in high school where Governor Murkowski (the lifelong Alaskan politician who got ousted by Palin in a primary) came to do a question and answer session on politics. When one of my classmates asked him what his opinions were on the rumors of nuclear weapons in North Korea, he went on this long rant about a trip he once took to North Korea and how strange of a place it was -- there were business districts devoid of any people, with entire shopping malls selling only teddy bears and the only other patrons of the mall besides western tourists were paid shoppers to make the mall look busier than it really was (because no North Koreans can afford teddy bears). And then he also told us that the amusement parks were full of paid patrons as well. I wonder if he's been to the "fun fair." He never got around to talking about the nuclear weapons, which was probably the only non-hilarious question that my class asked that day (probably why he lost to Palin).

The people in the pictures all have surprisingly nice looking coats. I wonder if that's because they have no heat during the winter. Jimma would approve.
Those are the people chosen by the government to pretend they are sad. I'm sure the coats were taken away after the photo shoot. They probably got an extra cup of rice for for being good citizens.

The highlight for me a comedy routine with plate spinning that enlisted an audience member, obviously a plant, but to see this man in his dark suit with Kim Il Sung pin stumble around in slapstick seemed almost subversive after what I had seen on the streets for several days, and I laughed and laughed.
If you poke around at all online, you can see a bunch of documentaries that basically follow this same trip itinerary. It might be in this thread somewhere.
What a great line:

I'd love to visit NK. Also love to visit siberia and other assorted "shitty" places.
Ever been to Junction City. Seems to be a close representation of NK.

Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- North Korea said Thursday that it plans to carry out a new nuclear test and further long-range rocket launches, all of which it said are a part of a new phase of confrontation with the United States.http://edition.cnn.com/2013/01/23/world/asia/north-korea-nuclear-test/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
The North's National Defense Commission said the moves would feed into an "upcoming all-out action" that would target the United States, "the sworn enemy of the Korean people."
Carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, the defense commission statement followed a United Nations Security Council resolution on Tuesday that condemned North Korea's recent rocket launch and expanded existing sanctions.
North Korea, which often issues bellicose statements in its state media, said Thursday that it rejected all Security Council resolutions concerning it.
It described this week's resolution as "the most dangerous phase of the hostile policy toward the DPRK," using the abbreviated version of its official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

I kind of feel like all we'd need to do was send in a small team of navy seals to take out KJU and hijack and take over their state news department and we'd instantly be able to save an entire country of people. I mean everyone in that entire country except for a few pampered elites in pyongyang has to absolutely despise that guy, right?

I mean it's essentially the equivalent of me saying I'm going to build a long range rocket and nuclear warhead and take over the world...and then starving my family in an attempt to do it. meanwhile I can barely get a model rocket off the ground in my backyard.

I think we should figure out where they are going to launch from and drone strike it.

so you guys want to spend millions of dollars and launch a government counter-offensive to thwart my backyard model-rocket launch?
I really giggle at the thought of a youtube vid of a kid getting ready to shoot off his model rocket in his backyard with his dad there filming, when you hear the buzz of a drone flying overhead and the model rocket just explodes.

What are the actual consequences of shooting down their next missile test? Do they storm SK with their starving 1960's army? Do they shell Seoul? Or do they deny it was shot down at all?
Well seoul, a city of 23 million people with twice the population density of NYC, is only 45 miles away from the NK border. It would be pretty easy for NK to bomb/shell the bejesus out of Seoul if they wanted to which would probably kill quite a few people.

Does NK even have missiles to shell Seoul with, though? Their last nuclear test was a huge failure, iirc.

They have regular artillery, but lots and lots of it. I think I read somewhere that the NK could hit Seoul with 10's of thousands of shells per hour if it came to armed conflict again.What are the actual consequences of shooting down their next missile test?

some of you haven't thought the whole "shelling of seoul" thing through as much as the powers that be in north korea have. they can talk crap and act like a super-power all they want but the second they start attacking other countries, that crap's gonna end pretty quickly and poorly for them. I'm guessing they're not willing to effectively commit suicide just because somebody shot down their shitty rocket.
Yeah, it hasn't just been the seoul thing either, it has been a china thing. China was their bro forever. However, lately China has been displeased with them publicly for pursuing the long range missile/nuke stuff. Best thing to do would be for us to figure out a way for the missile to "accidentally" hit something it wasn't supposed to and cause some damage. They would lose pretty much all support if something stupid like that happened after the whole world(including big china bro) had basically told them they were stupid for proceeding how they have been.

We have lasers that can give South American dictators cancer. Surely we have a way of guiding this missile to "accidentally" land right on top of the great wall of China or something.

Well, sure. But, they way they are going about trying to get the cows seems like something the evil character in a Disney cartoon would do. You know, something overly elaborate that has little chance of succeeding to get something silly simple. This has Doofenshmirtz written all over it.

The thing about NK is you can't let them get all these nukes and missiles is they are crazy/desperate enough to use them. Also if you let them get all there toys, you can invade them to take them away. They have the 1st or 2nd largest military in the world. Only nukes can stop that large of a force without thousands of losses from any collation that would form to stop them.

Um, you need to turn off the DPRK network dude. The country has nothing. Nothing. At least Iraq had dudes who had religious beliefs... You're kidding yourself if you think those guys actually believe that their leader is a God of sorts and wouldn't flip the second they have the choice. The country simply doesn't have enough people to support an army that size unless most of them are pretty worthless.

The thing about NK is you can't let them get all these nukes and missiles is they are crazy/desperate enough to use them. Also if you let them get all there toys, you can invade them to take them away. They have the 1st or 2nd largest military in the world. Only nukes can stop that large of a force without thousands of losses from any collation that would form to stop them.
:lol: Like that even matters.
NKBRAGEO
Iraq had like the sixth biggest army in the world when we kicked them in the Dick. That army would drop their rifles the second they had the chance to defect.
Iraqis did not think that Hussein is a god. NKers do. Most of iraq's army at that time was untrained conscripts. Most of NK's army is made up of zealots. They are well trained and more importantly well feed for the rest of their country.
You'd think someone with a name like "storm"nut would know more about Operation: Desert Storm, where like the Republican Guard was most certainly hardcore!

I mean it's essentially the equivalent of me saying I'm going to build a long range rocket and nuclear warhead and take over the world...and then starving my family in an attempt to do it. meanwhile I can barely get a model rocket off the ground in my backyard.
I kind of feel like all we'd need to do was send in a small team of navy seals to take out KJU and hijack and take over their state news department and we'd instantly be able to save an entire country of people.

A FATHER in North Korea is reported to have been executed by firing squad after murdering his two children to eat them during a "hidden famine" that may have killed more than 10,000 people last year.
In a litany of horrors documented by undercover reporters, another man dug up his grandchild's corpse for food and a third, driven mad by hunger, boiled his own child and ate the flesh.
The stories were collected by Asia Press, a specialist news agency based in Osaka, Japan, which has a network of "citizen journalists" inside North Korea and is regarded as credible.
Dozens of interviews and clandestine reports have led it to conclude that "considerable numbers of people" - probably more than 10,000 - have died in North and South Hwanghae provinces, south of Pyongyang, the capital.
North Korea has not officially confirmed any deaths. A government-supervised mission by the UN last September reported a food surplus in both provinces, yet the clandestine reporting depicts a pattern of misery and death while Kim Jong-un, the country's leader, spent lavishly on banquets and missile tests. One informant, an official in South Hwanghae, said: "In my village in May, a man who killed his own two children and tried to eat them was executed by a firing squad. Digital Pass $1 for first 28 Days
"While his wife was away on business he killed his eldest daughter and, because his son saw what he had done, he killed his son as well. When the wife came home, he offered her food, saying: 'We have meat.'
"But his wife, suspicious, notified the Ministry of Public Security, which led to the discovery of part of their children's bodies under the eaves."
In its detailed 12-page report, Asia Press identifies reporters and sources by pseudonyms. "Particularly shocking were the numerous testimonies that hit us about cannibalism," said the agency's Jiro Ishimaru.
Gu Gwang-ho, one of the reporters in North Korea, wrote: "There was an incident when a man was arrested for digging up the grave of his grandchild and eating the remains."
In May in Haeju, South Hwanghae's main city, a man who had killed 11 people and sold the meat as pork was executed by firing squad.
"In a village in Chongdan county, a man who went mad with hunger boiled his own child, ate his flesh and was arrested," said a mid-ranking official of the ruling Korean Workers Party.
These incidents reportedly took place as Mr Kim, 30, marked his ascent to power with a new image, a glamorous wife and two costly rocket launches.
Last week, he followed these with a defiant pledge to retaliate against the latest UN sanctions by staging a third nuclear weapons test "aimed at the United States".
Early last year, officials confiscated food from farm collectives in North and South Hwanghae to supply the army and reward the privileged residents of Pyongyang for their loyalty to the Kim dynasty, the undercover reporters say.
But then a drought struck and, from April to June, farmers and their families in these "breadbasket" provinces began to die.
"One family was completely wiped out, everyone died of starvation, while another family gave up hope of living and killed themselves," said Gu.
A hospital administrator said there was no wood for coffins or cremations, so the dead had been wrapped in straw mats and tipped into an unmarked common grave.
"The farming villages I visited from May to June were in such a tragic state that I had to cover my eyes," the party official added. "There was no food at all. Casting out elderly parents or abandoning children was nothing rare."
"Political waste" on celebrations and extra rations for Pyongyang were key factors, according to the reporters.
Mr Kim, a plump, beaming figure, ordered new apartment blocks, imported equipment for a fairground and a dolphinarium, staged lavish festivities and appeared at a pop concert with his pregnant wife.
"The smooth transfer of power . . . was the top priority," according to the reporters. The famine in the Hwanghae provinces has passed its peak, the reports say. It is probable that when the UN team visited the area in the autumn, it was shown no evidence of it.
Japanese government sources say North Korea has developed a compact nuclear weapon that can fit on to a missile capable of reaching the US's west coast. The device may be equal in force to the atomic bomb that destroyed the city of Nagasaki in 1945, the sources told the Asahi Shimbun newspaper.
As Mr Kim celebrates his first year in power, it is clear thousands have paid for his adventures.

PYONGYANG—As the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday on the constitutionality of banning same-sex marriage, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un told reporters that, considering he’s not a completely awful human being, he unequivocally believes that gay people should be able to marry. “Of course I believe gay and lesbian couples should be treated equally under the law, for God’s sake; I’m not a monster,” the despotic leader said, adding that the idea of trying to stop a loving couple from legally marrying one another is not only wrong from a moral and ethical standpoint but also violates the Fourteenth Amendment. “I have no idea what’s going on with the justices over there, to be honest. The whole thing is a rough ridin' embarrassment.” Kim added that, should the Supreme Court not declare same-sex marriage constitutional in all 50 states, he would strongly consider launching a nuclear weapon at the United States

Communications intercepts in recent days indicated that Pyongyang could be planning to launch a mobile ballistic missile in the coming days or weeks, the official first told CNN. It's unknown whether it would be a test or a strike.

Not sure if it matters since they don't have a missile with that sort of range.
Post by: Dugout DickStone on April 04, 2013, 11:21:53 AM
In one of the articles I read about NK moving that missile over to their east coast, analysts said the missile wasn't aimed at the US. What exactly does that mean.....we have some spies that know where that particular missile is targeted, or is NK too dumb to just point the missile to towards the US??

China has been the reason no one has addressed NK in the past. China just recently jumped off the NK ship with their last nuke test a month or two ago.

Ok, where is the divergence?
Re-read for comprehension.
Here is a helpful hint:
Quote
Testifying before a parliamentary hearing, Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin of South Korea said the missile North Korea had moved to the east coast, possibly “for demonstration or for training,” appeared not to be a KN-08, which analysts say is the closest thing North Korea has to an intercontinental ballistic missile, though its exact range is not known. The new missile was unveiled during a military parade in the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, last April.
South Korean media quoted unnamed military sources as saying that the missile was a Musudan. Deployed around 2007, the Musudan is a ballistic missile with a range of more than 1,900 miles, according to the South Korean Defense Ministry. Guam is nearly 2,200 miles from North Korea.

Looked it up, an ICBM is classified as a missile with a range of 5500 KM. the failed launch of NK's ICBM traveled over 3000 KM on two of its 3 stages. This rocket was successful in all three stages this year.Putting this down right now. NK is going to launch a missile (test or live), US is going to shoot it down.

Israel was trying to defend against hundreds of tiny rockets that were only in the air a very short time. Seems like we'd have better luck shooting down one that has to travel like all the way to Guam or whatever. S. Korea may get shelled but I'm not really worried about those guys. Hell, it would probably be good for our economy.

This isn't Obama's fault
Fault? No, he just drastically underestimated a situation that's spiralling out of control. I mean, foreign policy and national defense, barely even in his job description.
Obama apologists are so rough ridin' pathetic it makes me sick.
I'm the couldn't be less of an Obama apologist. I'm just saying. North Korea being crazy and dumber than crap is not obama's fault.
Thanks, when some 15 year old girl asks me whose fault it is I'll remember that.
It is another example of what a stupid rough ridin' idiot he is though.
Look, this happens every year where NK rallys up the troops against the Americans and the South Koreans because "war is imminent", and nothing ever rough ridin' happens. What is the president supposed to do? Strike? If it turns out that there was no real threat, we'll have another Highway of Death situation on our hands. We'll get our defense missiles ready, North Korea will pussy out again, and we'll laugh at this non-issue.

Probably, its just NK. No big deal, they only have a few nukes they test every once in a while and a homicidal maniac dictator operating an indoctrinated police state. I mean, what risk could they possibly present.

A bunch of SK companies have production facilities there and its staffed by North Koreans but the wages go directly to Pyongang, estimated 90 million dollars a year.

Read an article a couple of weeks ago saying its no big deal because they have not closed down the joint SK/NK business park in Kaesong. NK just closed it :ohno:.

Post by: sonofdaxjones on April 09, 2013, 10:46:51 AM
I mean look at this potential treasure trove:
In fact, North Korea is sitting on the goldmine. The northern side of the Korean peninsula is well known for its rocky terrain with 85% of the country composed of mountains. It hosts sizeable deposits of more than 200 different minerals, of which deposits of coal, iron ore, magnesite, gold ore, zinc ore, copper ore, limestone, molybdenum, and graphite are the largest and have the potential for the development of large-scale mines. After China, North Korea's magnesite reserves are the second largest in the world, and its tungsten deposits are almost the sixth-largest in the world. Still the value of all these resources pales in comparison to prospects which promise the exploration and export of rare earth metals.
Rare earth metals are a group of 17 elements which are found in the earth's crust. They are essential in the manufacture of high-tech products and in green technologies, such as wind turbines, solar panels or hybrid cars. Known as "the vitamins of high-tech industries," REMs are minerals necessary for making everything that we use on a daily basis, like smartphones, LCDs, and notebook computers. Some Rare earth metals, such as cerium and neodymium, are crucial elements in semiconductors, cars, computers and other advanced technological areas. Other types of REMs can be used to build tanks and airplanes, missiles and lasers.
South Korea estimates the total value of the North's mineral deposits at more than $6 trillion USD. Not surprisingly, despite high political and security tensions Seoul is showing a growing interest in developing REMs together with Pyongyang. In 2011, after receiving permission from the Ministry of Unification, officials from the Korea Resources Corp visited North Korea twice to study the condition of a graphite mine. Together with their counterparts from the DPRK's National Economic Cooperation Federation they had working-level talks at the Kaesong Industrial Complex on jointly digging up REMs in North Korea. An analysis of samples obtained in North Korea showed that the type of rare earth metals could be useful for manufacturing LCD panels and optical lenses. Montreal Review August 2012

While the DPRK cannot hold its own if faced with an assault, they can level South Korea and destroy Seoul and other cities. Considering SK is the 15th largest economy, and a place where tens of millions of people live, it is in nearly everyone's interest to avoid this.

North Korea cannot level Seoul. They would be able to inflict damage but no where near what people fear. Keep a couple things in mind. These are static firing positions that have been plotted for decades. They are using Soviet era technology that has had little maintenance . The US has had over a decade to refine our countermeasures for incoming indirect fire. See Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel's Iron Dome.
We can stop shells in mid flight? They have have enough pieces in place to level Seoul within the first hour of firing. Our response would take longer than that to muster.

(interesting info here. Pretty well researched. Also note that I would be willing to bet that google earth has provided better maps than what NK currently has, assuming they haven't been using Google's program to update their own works.)
The secret here is counter battery fire. It is true they would get off a few rounds but the US has been putting a lot of R&D into these systems, especially because of the recent decade of war. NK equipment is old and slow whereas the US is going to be using the newest technology. So not only has a lot of research been done in the last 60 years to locate these targets, we've also been developing the technology to counter fire unknown positions. NK has many pieces that can reach Seoul, but many of them seem to be in hardened positions. I trust American and Korean technology, training, and superior tactics to effectively neutralize them quickly before Seoul has catastrophic damage to the entire city. Now there are wild cards, if NK decides to use a tunnel to plant a nuke, that is a complete game changer. I'm assuming a simple symmetric engagement with conventional artillery, ground, and air force deployment.

North Korea cannot level Seoul. They would be able to inflict damage but no where near what people fear. Keep a couple things in mind. These are static firing positions that have been plotted for decades. They are using Soviet era technology that has had little maintenance . The US has had over a decade to refine our countermeasures for incoming indirect fire. See Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel's Iron Dome.
Come back from fantasy land. There are nearly 100,000 KNOWN artillery positions pointed at Seoul. In less than 1 minute you would have over 1 million 152mm rounds in flight. Nothing is going to stop that, nothing.
They have been perfecting this for over 50 years.

They have been perfecting this for over 50 years.
There hundreds ok known sites with only a few that can ACTUALLY reach Seoul.
Keep in mind there are only 8,000 or so artillery systems on the border, with only a fraction of a percentage with significant range. I can't stress this enough, it's cold war cast off equipment. That means no electronically assisted reloading, no computer assisted repositioning equipment. They are old and slow guns.
Second point, that 'over 1 million 152mm rounds in flight' is just a bizarre interjection. I mean I'm sure you were being facetious, but its still a really stupid thing to say. Here is the issue at hand. The weapons that can reach Seoul are all in hardened positions. If they move into a firing position allied forces can strike them easily. These are known targets so they will be pre-assigned targets for artillery and air resources. The rest of their artillery would have to be moved into position to strike other targets. With allied advanced reconnaissance tracking them it would be a task, but very do-able task. Most importantly is that the NKs might be able to release a handful of volleys. With the significant advantage in technology in counter battery fire, those positions would be wiped out before they could inflict serious damage to major population centers.
Lets look at the 2010 artillery incident. The NK's had a 40% hit rate on Yeongpyeong island with PRE POSITIONED artillery pieces. South Korea's counter battery fire was able to inflict significant damage in response to NK aggression.
Yes it would suck to live in Seoul during the opening moments, significant, but not heavy casualties might occur, but the city will not be in flames from millions of rounds impacting.
The wildcard people don't talk about enough is the training and maintenance of their military. Yes its huge, but is not well funded or equipped. Look at Iraq Part I and II. There was a great fear of their traditional military. There were points in the invasion where it became painfully obvious the Iraqis had no idea what they were doing because they had prepositioned all their artillery to places marked in the desert by 40 gallon oil drums. American tanks literally drove around them and the Iraqis couldn't walk in their fire fast enough or efficiently enough to counter an advancing column.

The guy who smuggles in thumb drives of current movie/TV shows was kind of interesting. At first when he got all self-important and was talking about how popular culture will be the thing that drives a regime change, I was all, "uhh okay sure." But then the more they talked about it I guess it at least sorta makes sense.

That's normal (for there). Basically every room has to have their portraits in it or you're considered disloyal.
So guys what was the weirdest part for you?
I kinda love the crap out of watching every documentary about North Korea that I can get my hands on so a lot of this was pretty familiar to me. That said, the women standing up to the soldiers was pretty damned extraordinary. Especially over something as seemingly trivial about whether a woman can wear pants or not. The soldiers just sort of simultaneously talking crap and taking their dissent instead of immediately beating the crap out of them/hauling them off was also pretty surprising.
I was also a little surprised that they didn't show any scenes of public executions as you sometimes saw footage of those being smuggled out under Kim Jong Il and making its way to Japanese/South Korean news stations. Is it because that sort of thing is considered too gruesome for primetime tv or because Kim Jong Un is trying to be less brutal in public and is shifting to an almost exclusive use of labor camps like Yodok for the purpose of purging political dissidents?

It was reported that he has piled on so much weight that he has fractured both his ankles and remains in hospital after an operation.
The leader of the impoverished nation is estimated to have ballooned to 20 stone as a result of fine wining and dining - putting enormous pressure on his feet and legs.
A source who has recently returned to the South Korean capital, Seoul, from the North said Kim is still in hospital under guard from his personal protection team.
Obese Kim is believed to have sprained then fractured his ankles during a gruelling tour of military bases and factories in shoes with Cuban heels to give him a little more height and a physical appearance of more authority.
The leader got a taste for Swiss cheese while a student in Switzerland - and is understood to love it so much that he imports vast quantities, despite Western sanctions.
'He has become noticeably overweight since he came to power,' said the un-named intelligence official.

Apparently the country is on "lock down" (moreso than before?). Some gems...QuoteIt was reported that he has piled on so much weight that he has fractured both his ankles and remains in hospital after an operation.
The leader of the impoverished nation is estimated to have ballooned to 20 stone as a result of fine wining and dining - putting enormous pressure on his feet and legs.
A source who has recently returned to the South Korean capital, Seoul, from the North said Kim is still in hospital under guard from his personal protection team.
Obese Kim is believed to have sprained then fractured his ankles during a gruelling tour of military bases and factories in shoes with Cuban heels to give him a little more height and a physical appearance of more authority.
The leader got a taste for Swiss cheese while a student in Switzerland - and is understood to love it so much that he imports vast quantities, despite Western sanctions.
'He has become noticeably overweight since he came to power,' said the un-named intelligence official.
Maybe Kim can go the ol' Chaz Weis route and run the show from the comfort of a rascal scooter. BOOM, problem solved.

Doesn't solve the height problem, though. What a Segway? That would be so awesome.

Seoul (CNN)North Korea is currently planning a "terrorist attack" on South Korea according to the South's spy agency.
A lawmaker, briefed by the National Intelligence Service (NIS), says leader Kim Jong Un himself gave the order to make preparations.
So, with the latest satellite launch(obvs long range missile), nuke tests, and now the supposed threat of terrorism, seems like war with these assholes is basically inevitable.

I think the Kim Dynasty is aware that if they ever actually crossed a line with South Korea, i.e. used a missile or did something else to instigate war, their reign would come to an abrupt end.

IDK. He seems crazier than daddy. I mean, it seems like he is executing someone in his close circle every couple months. In laws, generals, advisers, etc. Guy isn't just playing crazy, but actually having dogs chew on ppl until they die(ppl not the dogs).Right. But he's also self-interested. This posturing has gone on for a long time. I very much doubt anything serious will happen.

What would trump do?
Trump would build a gigantic super luxurious building right on the border so that everyone in North Korea could see it. Regular guests would be Dan Bilzerian, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Wayne Newton. They would dine on a penthouse balcony for NK spies to behold. On the north facing exterior would be a system of thousands of tied together Samsung TV's displaying what life is like in South Korea. Jobs, horse meat, happy people.
