Starving his populace isn’t the act of a mentally ill individual? Really?

Depraved, malevolent, evil. All of these things. Certainly, it is not normal behavior. But the problem is that people often confuse this type of psychopathic behavior with "irrational" and "suicidal". The problem is: what if he isn't? What if they actually know what they are doing, but we make poor decisions because we are assuming that they are just behaving irrational and crazy. I don't know what the best way to solve the issue is. I suspect nobody does. What I do know is that sticking our heads in the sand about their capabilities isn't a good first step. I also know that formulating a strategy in response (a strategy which is well thought out), should start by correctly evaluating why they are doing what they are doing, and not just getting all emotional decrying his "craziness". Personally, I don't think it is just craziness driving this, but rather something much more akin to what has driven them for decades.

He is essentially committing national suicide right now.

He has starved his populace. He has mismanaged the nation to the point that only his top government leaders can purchase gasoline.

He has sunk all his nation’s wealth into developing weapons for an enemy that doesn’t exist.

Nobody has their eyes on North Korea. Nobody lusts for it’s location, material wealth, or natural deposits.

I don’t consider the man to be of sound mind. He is maniacal. He most certainly has mental health issues.

Who knows what makes him tick? While we’re evaluating him, he could just as easily be ready to go out seriously damaging the United States. Maybe in his mind, that would be a world class event that would solidify his name in the history books.

What we do know, is that he is either on the verge of, or has a limited nuclear capability already.

The question now is, do we let a man like this develop hundreds of weapons, or do we stop him when he has only a few?

This doesn’t get better from here.

We tried to wish it away for two decades. Well, here we are.

Kim will threaten every person on the planet when he has the opportunity.

Someone needs to stand up to him. Who else is going to do it?
