Guest hitoallusa Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I thought North Korea had a very strong anti-american sentiment but the new leader seems to open up a new possibility. I think being young comes with some possibility to break with the tradition... http://news.yahoo.com/dennis-rodman-return-north-korea-august-1-205346437.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Some believe it is not the youngster who is actually running things, but rather his old-guard aunt and uncle: http://article.wn.com/view-mobile/2013/04/08/Kim_Jonguns_aunt_Kim_KyongHui_and_uncle_Jang_SungTaek_callin/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted April 16, 2013 Members Share Posted April 16, 2013 Many are suggesting that KJU needs to close the ranks to consolidate his "leadership" which could mean "old guard" military as well as family members. That seems to be the opinion behind the current sabre rattling by KJU. Dennis Rodman, aka the worm, is a very unlikely ambassador for the US to anywhere never mind North Korea. However, KJU has been to Switzerland and minimally exposed to the West. He seems to like basketball and western food. It has been suggested, and I know not how many tongues in cheeks, that BO and KJU meet on a neutral court with a contingent of US retired NBA players and get up a game. There can be "substantial" talks during the game and afterwards a round of MacDonald's for everyone. What could be the downside of such a meeting? Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
