>Kim Jong Un is no fool.
Eh, do you actually think Kim Jong has any power in North Korea ? I see him as a pure figurehead, with all power in the hands of top military brass.

- gribbly 9y agoThat his supposed power is entirely based upon the North Korean military, I see him as nothing but a puppet.
- kumarvvr 9y agoWell, his family's cult of personality ensures that the military will tow the line. It's not unheard of in history for one person to have absolute control over a large military force. Hitler comes to mind.
