Kim Jong-un

When I created this jocular North Korean Christmas card last December, with Kim Jong-un wishing everyone a Merry Christmas on one of his missiles, I had no idea we'd reach the stage at which we'd be receiving daily bulletins on his wobbler throwing (CLICK) let alone BBC analysis of Pyongyang's bellicose hyperbole (CLICK). Basically, Kim Jong-un is a spoiled brat throwing tantrums in the expectation of getting his own way. If any concession is made to him, his childish behaviour will have reaped its reward. His generals will be convinced the sun shines out of his anus. Armed readiness is prudent, in case his tantrums escalate to insane attacks, but the spoiled brat must not be placated.
