Kim Jong-un's Barbaric Purge of 'Unsound' Military Brass

[John Dibble]

So killing people with bombs is barbaric dead0? I can't really see the justification for mourning the loss of North Korean military brass.

It's funny what you get excited over. Israel or The United States killing dozens of civilians with explosives isn't a big deal, but 1 North Korean official killed by an explosive is...

I think the point is that they were for the purposes of execution rather than warfare. It's certainly not the conventional way for killing someone.

That said, it appears that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. Dear Successor may be every bit as crazy as his father was.

Actually, from the perspective of the Kims what they are doing is very rational, nothing really crazy about it. If it was, it would be unique. But this is quite normal for such states.

I'm very well aware that megalomaniacs don't necessarily think their own behavior is odd. That doesn't mean it isn't odd or even crazy to the rest of us.
