The Mysterious Case of Kim Jong Un and his People


Coochie Coo: A smiling Kim Jong Un, three confused babies, two women holding back tears and a proud officer


The Pyongyang nuclear crisis might soon be over after North Korea showed the first signs of a retraction from its belligerent stand. But this article is not about why Pyongyang wants to blow the hell out of US and South Korea, or what would happen if a nuclear war breaks out, and stuff like that. Seriously, you cannot ‘talk’ about the chances or aftermath of a nuclear war. You can only ‘take steps’ to ensure something like this does not happen. This means that the possibility of a nuclear war or North Korea attacking its Southern neighbour depends on how the world leaders act. An opinion piece, howsoever articulate, won’t be able to do what a dialogue between two nations can. So let us leave it at that.

Whether or not North Korea nukes anyone is not worth writing an article on. More than half of the world doesn’t care because they know that due to lack of resources, North Korea won’t be able to do what it threatens to. But it is a unique country, nevertheless. For instance, no one can cry like the people of North Korea and no leader in the world can boast of enjoying a pop star status in his country like Kim Jong-un.

There are pictures to prove the above and you can see them if you click on the link below that would direct you to my opinion piece on Newsyaps.com:
