On December 17, 2011, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il died and on December 28 of the same year the keys to the Communist country were handed over to his son Kim Jong-un. At 32-years-old, he became the Chairman of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the world’s youngest state leader. Since that time there has been a whirlwind of changes, some bizarre, some insane, some Dr. Evil-ish.
Apparently, Kim Jong-un had 80 mid and senior-level officials killed since he took power. The Supreme Commander had his vice premiere executed for the totally valid reason of not having proper posture during a public event. No slouches under Kim Jong-un’s regime, I can understand that.
Kim had his own uncle Jang Song Thaek, who was also the second-in-command, killed. Allegedly, Thaek was stripped nude and then fed to 120 dogs who had been starved for five days. Jeez Kim, don’t go all Ramsay Bolton on us.
This has all gone on as Kim lives in the lap of extreme luxury as his country starves to death.
Not crazy enough? He’s had Dennis Rodman visit him four times as some sort of “diplomat.”
And each day that passes, North Korea comes closer and closer to having a nuclear arsenal.
