Those nicknames are killing me, man. Especially "Goodyear Blimp."

It would be nice if somebody could hack into and steal all NK's records (I bet most of them are still paper, though). It'd make for...interesting reading. We'll find out in no more than a decade or two.

I'm suddenly reminded of Cuba.


The Mitchelin Tire Guy may go down, but he might not for a good long while. He and his family have stayed in power for many years now; Mr. Kardashian has just proved his willingness to execute his generals to stay in power. I'm not saying he is stable, he certainly is quite the opposite, but I think talk of his end may be premature till we actually see evidence of it happening. He lives in a wooden home soaked in kerosene, but there isn't a match for miles.


Also, "Un v. UN" needs to be a title for this thread at some point.

I think Fast Food Fan is exactly as crazy as all the medieval kings who executed their close relatives to stay in [absolute] power.

Wassup nowadays? Nothing as normal? >_>

Someone has been playing too much CK2.

Someone has been playing too much CK2.

Apparently there was a brief disagreement over national policies resulting in Kim Jong-un letting the state security loose on the failed North Korean Gorbachev and his followers.
I guess there won't be any Perestroikas in North Korea in the near future.

Also, fun fact: the largest discovered deposit of rare earth elements in the world is located in DPRK.

[10ebbor10]

Well, for rare earth's it's not size that matters, but concentration. The 2.7% stated in the article does seem like a lot though.

[Sensei]

Hey, maybe now the US will show some interest in Liberating the North Korean People.

[misko27]

Because Supreme Leader Nuclear-holocaust-in-a-box wasn't reason enough.

That almost strikes me as totally irrelevant, actually. For the US it does all the good of Oil trapped under 32 miles miles of Antarctic ice and rock. Plus, China was already the primary source for those materials, so it is a) not remotely surprising the nearby nation of Northern Koreastan has a lot, and b) the Chinese have their fingers ALL over that cookie jar. And frankly I think the West would rather buy from China then any government Kim Land might have for the next 20 years or so, whether under the Un or the UN.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That's all well and good, except that Executioner Smough just straight-up murdered the leader of the pro-China faction. Now, maybe Fat Albert is still willing to work with China, but the way things have been going between them lately suggests that North Korea and China aren't getting along anymore. The All-Consuming Devourer clearly wants to be as singularly powerful as his predecessors.

This is becoming the "Nickname Kim Jung Un" thread, isn't it?

You have nobody to blame but yourself.

[ShoesandHats]

Has the Stay puft Marshmallow Man been used yet?

[Descan]

Yep.
