I really don't think Kim gives a shit what happens. He is probably literally living a kilometre under ground in a palace with as much food and women and luxury as he wants.
He wants the big one - the war - and he doesn't care what happens to his people or anyone else.
Kim is the head of a brainwashed cult of "Dear Leader" and his actions are not rational.
- crispinb 9y agoIf this is so obvious, why don't any of the people who know the DPRK well think this is what's going on? The majority of them believe the purpose is deterrence. Literally no-one outside of blogs and newspaper comment sections believes its intention is war. What information do you have that they don't?
- hoodoof 9y agoSorry, the missile launched over Japan is not deterrence. Along with the many explicit statements that he intends to use his weapons.
- crispinb 9y ago> Sorry, the missile launched over Japan is not deterrence. You say that as if it's a known fact. But deterrence seems like by far the most likely hypothesis to most observers. What's the alternative? > Along with the many explicit statements that he intends to use his weapons KCTV is a State TV station, issuing propaganda. It often claims it is on the brink of invading South Korea, destroying Seoul and raining fire upon New York, Guam, and sundry other targets. Perhaps a small proportion of the less critical part of the DPRK population, having been force-fed State propaganda since childhood, believes what it is told. No-one else does.
- CSDude 9y agoYeah, because Fallout style life would be great every one would want to live rest of his life underground
- polotics 9y agoIt's a bit more complicated than that. May I recommend Mr Lindley-French strategy blog?
