And in related news, Kim Jung Un warns that if his regime falls, instability will spread across the region. There will be little to stop the spread of food and light bulbs.

I don’t know about instability, but Christians in the Middle east are doomed.

What do you want us to do about it? Putting down Al Qaeda and the Mooztard Brotherhood is your job. Not ours,

That self serving statement is probably correct. Power vacuums suck.
