Kim basically just couped the only power in the country that wasn't the Party. There's been some serious tension between Kim Jong Il and the military ever since the Cheonan and earlier. There's even some evidence that there could have been an attempted coup by the military leadership, and that the military acted to instigate war with South Korea without Kim's consent. While Un was definitely sided with the military by Il the soften this tension, Un just stuck a wrench int he military-Party relations. This will be an interesting year in North Korea.
It's all bullshit. The guy is absolutely not leader material. He doesn't know first shit about any of the titles he's being buttered up with. Hell, for all the "studying abroad in Switzerland", he didn't achieve anything. He wasn't even a good student. He flunked from IB. By all means, he's just a random manchild whose father's legacy just happened to be a shoddy communist state.
[QUOTE=cccritical;36829149]nah he hasn't even expanded in some 50 years, sitting on 1 base and the minerals are almost totally depleted (miracle considering he thinks 1 drone each is saturated), one ghost and one nuke could force a gg [editline]18th July 2012[/editline] he got to 200 food pretty quick but he's keeping it all to himself[/QUOTE] What if he burrows infestors and sneaks them into our mineral fields :tinfoil:
[QUOTE=just-a-boy;36835816]he's just a random manchild whose father's legacy just happened to be a shoddy communist state.[/QUOTE] North Korea isn't and never was a communist state. In practice, it has always been a totalitarian dictatorship, even though they once had Marxism-Leninism as their official ideology before they changed it to Juche, and the military gained a great deal of power after Kim Jong-il succeeded his father.

"The move followed a high-level military reshuffle in which army chief Ri Yong-ho was removed ''due to illness'' and a little-known general promoted." Illness? Yeah, maybe lead poisoning. The kind introduced by 7,62 bullets.
Congrats.

I couldn't distinguish if it's now a Far-Right or a Far-Left because once both ways gets too extreme, they start to sound the same.
