I’ve had a theory about Kim Jong-un, ever since he took power.
One thing to remember is that he did study in Switzerland for awhile, so he’s certainly familiar with the outside world. And it was his older brother that most assumed would succeed Kim Jong-Il.
So my question is, is he really committed to continuing the regime. Or, is there a possibility, that he’s really looking for a way to end it?
Well, certainly getting into a “war” with the US, is one way to do it.
Again, just a thought I had, I have no way of knowing if it’s true or not.
I think if Kim Jong-un wanted to “end this” then there is a better way to do it.
He could be like Raul Castro (but more sincere) and say “Let’s normalize”.
He could say “Can we unify with South Korea?”
He could say “Come over to my house and build many factories!”
OR
He could invite us to nuke him.
