North Korea Launches a Rocket

I don't get Kim Jung-Un.
Dude grew in Switzerland, seemed to be a fan of NBA and basketball in general and was most likely raised by western standards.
Then, why does he follow his father's way ? Considering his lineage, I don't think that somebody would have dared touch him if he'd changed NK's foreign policies and opened this country to the world. Coulda entered in History by being more friendly with South Korea and the world but chose to continue that NK bullying bullshyt policy...

If you were an NK leader would you not make rockets? I probably would. The word doesn't really want NK to open up, they want NK to join with SK
Well, considering the state of my population and the fact that my western education may have open my views on the world, no ! What's good about rockets when your people is starving ? There were a great famine in NK like 10 years that killed millions...
Even if the world wants NK to join with SK at the West's own benefice, wouldn't that be better for North Koreans ?
Korea would be a powerful country if united. Add to the fact their strategic locatiom they will be an ally wonder.
That's illogical to assume his mind would work like that though. No person goes to Europe and then decides their country should just disappear
How is that illogical ? It's not about the disappearance of his country, it's about an alliance with SK (I didn't mean "join" as in being swallowed by SK) ?
Dude lived in Switzerland since 10 and for around 8 years. I don't understand why he followed his father's way while growing he had a western education and different views about his country. That's all what I was saying.

It's not just a catch buzz line that shyt speaks volumes.
He could probably do a lot of things for the good of his people, he chooses not to because he's literally on top of the fukin world over there. (i guess not literally but you get the drift).
I wonder though....
what if there's a "council" of sorts that want that power and use him as a proxy of sorts

Bashar Al Assad and Benjamin Netanyahu spent plenty of time in the west too breh. They're not going to go back to their countries and suddenly be like "fukk it let me do what Obama wants". These leaders won't become complete leftists because that's not what their position is. They're going to try to perpetuate the systems they're leading.
I was not talking about being a slave to the West and the US or being a leftist... But having at least the will to feed your own people and grant them a little better life.
The problem as you stated is the perpetuation of the system they're leading.
A system satisfying very few while you have experienced a different one which was not perfect but at least better for the people (you included because you grew under it). And when I say better, I'm talking objectively : living conditions, education, health, mortality rate, life expectancy, access to technology and so on).
I guess Brown Pride's right : absolute power corrupts absolutely...
Considering that, in his place, would you have perpetuated it (once again it's not a West/East thing) ?
And as for Al Assad and Netanyahu and their kind, their direction strikes me the same as Jung-Un's.
I would probably try to keep a strong relationship with China (for security) while trying to follow their path into prosperity. That said I as an outside observer I don't really see a need for Korea to stay partitioned but if I was an insider I'm just saying I wouldn't stop building military technology while I was at it

yea. People have to pretend to love him to the point were some of them actually do love him.. He smashes whoever he wants, buys whatever he wants.. and he lives a modern Western technologically advanced lifestyle while his people are starving and are depressed.
Right or wrong, powerful men don't like being told what to do. He wants to be treated as an equal- but the world will never treat his government as equals because of him and the nations trend of having sociopath leadership.
He would be powerless if they merged with SK. SK is nothing but a western puppet anyway. His son will grow up and live the same way as him- as long as dude can keep his rocket launches to a one every couple year average and not get fcked up.
