While North Korea displayed its military might to the world to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War's end, it seems the country is fighting to rescue one of its prestige projects. Seoul-based news website, Daily NK, says the plan to develop a "world-class" ski resort at Masikryeong in North Korea's east has run into major problems, with heavy rains causing landslides and the collapse of part of the building site.

It is increasingly clear that he lives in his fantasy world. His dad Kim Jong-il lived in a fantasy he created himself. This guy grew up in it, which could be the reason his delusion is worse than his dad. The guy who created his own bubble vs the guy grew up in a bubble to start with. The latter could be more divorced from reality than the former.

This was one of those big show projects to exalt communism and the Dear Leader.
Someone or maybe more than one will have to be executed for this. They have disgraced Dear Leader, after all.

Right. Classic Michael Jackson Syndrome. Both Mike and Kim’s have money to burn to create his own bubble, despite wretched economy of his country.

I did not know North Korea was hosting the 2018 Winter Olympics. It just occurred to me that maybe Jong Un was trying to raise multi-millions from the US and perhaps China and Russia for the construction costs for these games via blackmail when he started firing rockets all over the place and threatening nuclear warfare. Just a thought. Wonder what else is up his sleeve?
Have to wonder who Jong Un is contracting with to help the Norks plan and construct the several venues. I doubt there is much expertise in North Korea for this.
