Being run by despotic crackpots whose minds are divorced from reality and don't give a crap about their people is what makes them weaker. This is a nation whose propaganda reported that their previous leader's birth was heralded by a swallow, caused winter to change to spring, a star to illuminate the sky, and the spontaneous appearance of a double rainbow and gave him no less than fifty four titles including "Glorious General, Who Descended From Heaven" and "Dear Leader, who is a perfect incarnation of the appearance that a leader should have". But
this is what you think makes them weaker? Their "elections" have gone this way for decades, and this results surprises nobody.
