Shattuck: Smiles can’t mask this brutally oppressive regime
The Boston Herald ^ | 02-11-18 | Tom Shattuck

Her name is Kim Yo Jong and she’s the belle of the ball at the Winter Olympics in South Korea. She’s young, attractive, confident, and the kid sister of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

You wouldn’t think they were related, as he embodies the physicality of a manatee and she looks ready to anchor the 6 o’clock news.

But they are the same person. She is a true believer in the same cruel, oppressive ideology, and she has proven to be a talented soldier for the same cause. Thought by some to be the real brains of the operation, she was promoted to the politburo last year, having made her bones as the vice-director of the propaganda and agitation department — she sounds like a real people person.

Oh, Kim Yo Jong, you had us at “Annyeonghaseyo.”

Liberal media outlets like CNN could take no more. CNN splashed the headline “Kim Jong Un’s sister is stealing the show at the Winter Olympics” across its website, while many more scribes beamed with pride about the “Ivanka Trump of North Korea.”

Finally, a millennial businesswoman they can get behind. Too bad she’s in the business of brutality.

Every time the name Kim or North Korea is mentioned in connection with the Olympics it should be followed by “..who blew up an airliner killing 115 people by using a time bomb in order to disrupt the Olympics the last time they were held in Korea.”

But didn't the smiles at past Olympics soften brutal regimes and pave the way for world peace in the past?

It would be good to have a unified Korea. Actually, it would be a quick unification, since the only thing keeping the Koreas apart is one stupid family with an idiot that is surrounded by a group of yes men.

“What do you think of your brother murdering your family members??.......

I highly doubt she would speak against her brother in a negative way, she too could suffer a similar fate.

Yep. They are trying to prop her up as some kind of leader but I’ll bet she’s crapping her pants half the time. Nobody in that country lives easy, not even fat boy who I can imagine is paranoid as hell about being taken out.
