So for the next few years, should we beg for Kim Jong-eun's brain to mature fast? LOL.

Well his fat belly has certainly matured quickly!
The 'Great Successor' appears to have been quite the 'success' at the all-you-can-eat buffet. He needs to be on a diet plan of tree bark and grubs.

Back in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s I was an intelligence analyst, in charge of early warning for the Korean DMZ at 18, six months out of high school. Most of my co-workers (both Korean and American) were in the 18-25 year old age group, as were most of the soldiers in the field. South Korea is still there and doing rather nicely, as I understand it.

Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child. . . . Amazing - worrying about N. Korea's new leader and they hit the nail on the head on what's wrong with ours.

Historians warn that the track record of young leaders is weak.Off the top of my head: Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, Hannibal, Charles XII, Frederick the Great, Charles V, Augustus, Louis XIV (also known as Louis the Great), Henry V, Peter the Great, Hezekiah and Josiah of Judah, Elizabeth I (sometimes, appropriately, known as Elizabeth the Great).
We've got four to six Greats and an Augustus there, which ought to tell us something.
Methinks the historians in question are full of crap.

Englands King Edward VI ... had his uncle beheaded for taking too active a role in governing the country.Nonsense. Eddie was 14 at the time and wasn't in control. Edward Seymour, presumably the uncle in question, was executed because he lost one of the power struggles between nobles fighting for the control the king didn't have.

The few details that have emerged about Kims life to date show little indication that he has had to make decisions under pressure, and being raised with too little stress is bad, said Wang, the Princeton neuroscientist. In studies of rodents and primates, stress hormone responses go sky-high in those who never experienced stress as youngsters. If Kim wasnt raised facing any stress at all, Wang said, he hasnt developed coping mechanisms. Substitute Obambi for Kim, and you've got an indication of the trouble THIS country is in today. In fact, this whole article is relevant for us today, if you simply do an "edit replace Kim" with "Obama."

Young emperors usually do not last.
Tutankhamen, Alexander, Caligula, Nero, etc. they usually have a short time before someone offs them somehow.

Maybe he will surrender the Korean War, and sign a peace treaty?
