Morters...AA guns...next they'll strap some top admiral to one of those new sub-launched missiles of theirs.

Hong Kong media reported that he used dogs once.

On his uncle.

Still.  I think the greatest threat to South Korea's well-being is declining sales of Samsung mobile phones.

Dog eats man?  That's quite a Korean reversal.

I'm a good eight minute walk from the new Government Complex in Sejeong, where they moved a dozen ministirial headquarters down from Seoul, and I can hear a crowd protesting clear as day. They are screaming in megaphones in a very traditional Korean kind of way.

Nah, I think Koreans are particularly loud and violent.  Japanese and HKers tend to be mild

Eight seconds before I edited my statement.

[Monoriu]

Koreans aren't just loud and violent.  They are very organised and actively look after each other.  Chinese protesters tend to be fragmented and wild.  Japanese are organised but mild, mostly. 

[Valmy]

It is very normal for any country to go after hostile elements and punish them and execute them

LOL

China has yet to invite Kim to Beijing since he came to power.

North Korea is a country that you would not think could possibly exist except they actually do exist.

If Tom Clancy wrote a novel that included a country like North Korea in it, everyone would say it is ridiculous and unrealistic to hypothesize that such a screwed up system could possibly sustain itself. And I would agree with them.

Wouldn't they just say that he clearly modeled it on NK?

Or would we be too focused on how he wrote a book from the grave?

Why?  Didn't similar systems exist throughout humanity's history?

A nation ruled by a wealthy dynasty, that oppresses the poor?

Where hunger strikes the poorest when crops are bad and has immense expenditures on the military?

And where the current ruler, being young, is now executing those that could pose a threat to his rule, being tied to the faction that was led by his uncle?

Oh, I don't know... how about all monarchies on the planet until at least 1750?

In fact, for medieval or even early modern states, this state of affairs would be very much politics as usual.

Well if you are going to be that hilariously broad you might as well toss non-Monarchies in there to. Losing an election in Florence could be hazardous to your health.
