The boy who would be king

This sour looking kid is a four star general in the North Korean Army. His dad is the current king.  He is going to be king in a landslide election - that is when dad decides he has had enough and passes the torch of what is leadership in this backwater nation.

Kim (may I call you Kim?) is a kid who struck it rich as an accident of birth. He also, unlike his countrymen, doesn't look like he has missed a meal.  Beware of fat little kids who wear generals uniforms and are in line to be king because daddy wants it.

Reflecting on the virtues of a democratic republic, one thing we have going is that except for a recent disaster of father-son, we don't do the king thing. Good lord, there are some who support nitwits that's for sure, but generally we don't care much who is what as long as they might be capable of doing something in the public interest.  Clearly North Korea isn't so burdened by the consideration of competence. 

Who knows. The kid-king-designate might break the mold but I sure wouldn't bet on it. Nope.

  1. The apple won't fall far from the tree. This mindless twit will be just as worthless as his father. A disgrace to our species.

  2. He was educated in Switzerland. Perhaps he was influenced by Western thinking more than anyone knows? What if he is just keeping up appearances and waiting his turn so he can reform the country?

    A long shot, but not entirely impossible...
