once I saw someone asking, in all apparent sincerity, why iran was so 'crazy' and belligerent toward the united states, a country that less than ten years prior had invaded and destroyed the countries to iran's immediate east and west and had named iran part of a league of supervillains which is a fair question i guess, if a dude is waving a gun around and just shot two people, maybe you want to talk them down

Even China seems fairly fed up with North Korea. It's not really in anyone's interests to have them as a nuclear state.

After all, it's been imminent for going on fifteen years now.

The CIA at least tries hard mode and goes after heads of state. it was a really overwrought assassination plan too, killing him with vx. probably could have gotten easily him with a carbomb. it reminds me of when the fsb had litvinenko killed with polonium when they could have just used cyanide. nationalist dictatorships are real tryhards that way i guess Dreddout posted:But what if you don't actually want them to topple? nobody actually wants the nk regime to collapse because as nutty as the kims are a collapse would flood china's rust belt with refugees and stick south korea with the burden of rebuilding. that said there's an open-secret agreement between china and the us+sk that if war breaks out again on the 38th parallel the chinese will hold their noses as long as us troops aren't stationed too far north.

In fact, had it been administered correctly it probably would have been impossible to detect, but the dumbass assassin administered something like 1000x what he needed to.

Kim Il Sung was leading anti-Japanese partisans throughout the 1930s, and represented the legitimate resistance to that occupation. He was, you could say, the Korean Tito. Contrast that to the South Korean government, where we literally installed Japanese compradors and war-era communist hunters to head the government & military, and you could start to see why the North Koreans became so crazy.

He wasn't even leading partisans in Korea, he was leading them in China. He was more or less entirely installed as a puppet by the Soviets, as opposed to say Ho Chi Minh who led a decades-long resistance campaign against first the Japanese and then the French before assuming power.
