Kim Jong-un and His Toy Nukes

“It's Christmas at ground zero
The button has been pressed
The radio just let us know
That this is not a test”
Weird Al Yankovic

Hey, everybody, guess what? It looks like Kim Jong-un, a Daejang (four-star general) in the Korean People’s Army, heir to the dictatorship of North Korea, may have gotten his Christmas present early. Santa Claus brought Un a brand new nuclear reactor! Isn’t that amazing?!

His Daddy gave him the entire set of North Korean People’s Army military set as an early Christmas present, complete with soldiers, jet fighters, ships, and nuclear missiles. Now that he has the nuclear reactor, Un’s set is complete. He fired off the first missile yesterday at South Korea, killing two South Korean soldiers.

According to the Associated Press:

“North and South Korea exchanged artillery fire Tuesday along their disputed frontier, raising tensions between the rivals to their highest level in more than a decade. The communist nation warned of more military strikes if the South encroaches on the maritime border by “even 0.001 millimeter.”


“Angry at South Korea's refusal to halt military drills near their sea border, North Korea shelled the island of Yeonpyeong, and Seoul responded by unleashing its own barrage from K-9 155mm self-propelled howitzers and scrambling fighter jets. Two South Korean marines were killed in the shelling that also injured 15 troops and three civilians.”

In other words, Un had a temper tantrum.  North Korea isn’t much of a going concern. All they make is military hardware. The proceeds of those sales go directly to the governing elite. They don’t even make their own electricity; they buy it from China. North Korea’s GDP depends upon selling military weapons to countries like Iran. Now that they have their nuclear reactor, yesterday’s incident may have been a sales demonstration to potential customers.

This is not the first “demonstration.” Anytime they need groceries, they set off an attack against South Korea. The West, particularly, America, quakes in its boots and sends them the monetary aid they require – demand – which they then spend on capital purchases for their military and arms industry, while their people scratch a living out of the dirt.

Jimmy Carter blasted former Pres. Bush for not caving into North Korea’s blackmail. Now the spoiled-brat of the Yellow Sea has his nuclear reactor. As soon as it went online, apparently, he was eager to test it out.

We must keep Kim Jong-un happy, and while we float out a flotilla for show exercises, Obama is probably wiring Un’s Daddy the money.

Merry Christmas, from the United States of America.   Have a blast, Kum Jong-un.
