He is in the Stalin mold. You can't easily dislodge that form of authoritarianism. Similar to Cuba. Any military coup is snuffed out before it even has a chance to emerge. Hitler was only dislodged because he made some mistakes and he was fighting the world. China props N. Korea up. China will dominate the world a decade or two. Combination of money and power and stupidity by the West.

Just hope you aren't born in N. Korea in your next life.

It's a bad place. True or not, I'd avoid vacationing there.

@jsegor Yep. Much better off to the south a bit...

A firing squad (10-12 people) all with full mags on aks or similar, would definitely make swiss cheese out of something without having to reload.

@MichelleD Ahh that makes more sense. I didn't catch the firing squad bit.

@Hamulus I don't think firing squad was mentioned but why would you have just one giy up there shooting when there is greater physical and psychological effect with a full squad. More efficient too cuzz you know he's dead.

@MichelleD I think the "Great Leader" doing it personally with a revolver and reloading it a bunch of times would be more terrifying. Everyone just frozen not moving while a clearly deranged man with a gun is a few feet away turning what was once a talented and accomplished man into jello... And you are not to make a sound or move, or show any emotion.

@Hamulus yeah, but he's too pampered to do anything himself. That only happens if they are military men, which is why it makes the impact it does.
