Taking the World Stage (Full Episode) | North Korea: Inside the Mind of a Dictator
Ойын-сауық
This episode sees Kim Jong Un make the unprecedented step of trying his hand at diplomacy as he attempts to relieve his country from crippling sanctions. Through interviews with people who were in the room at the summits, we examine Kim’s “bromance” with Donald Trump; but with a breakdown in talks and the world in chaos, Kim returns to his old ways, unveiling a terrifying new weapon.

Now, I really dont agree with pretty much everything turmp preaches, but i love how they portrayed him in this video. They dont say he good, they dont say hes bad, they just talk about what he did in relation to north korea, his thought process, and nothing else. there was no obvious bias towards or against him, which helps you focus on the actual situation being described. All news and media should be like this. facts only, and no deep speculation presented as fact.

I do believe Kim Jong-un wants good foreign relations with the world that would benefit the people of his country. But I also believe he's afraid of the repercussions of that. If he lets his guard down, that could show a sign of weakness or cowardliness for his people that could initiate a coup. If that happens, the next dictator might be worse than his Grandfather and Father.

I really hope in my lifetime that I get to see North Korea change for the better, at least in terms of average happiness and equality, without being pretentious like it always is. It's still sad that the majority of North Koreans aren't experiencing modernity, or much freedom rather.

I couldnt believe how close i was to north korea, although i was in south korea for vacation. I asked my grandfather to see the parts of the 38th parallel as my grandparents house isnt that far from there (30min-1hour). He didnt want to take me because he wanted me to spend my time enjoying my trip while in south korea. I guess he didnt want me to go to deep into what north is like.

What’s at crazy is that he was educated in the West. I think that’s a golden opportunity for change within his reign.

When an idea contradicts one's world view, they deny it.
I’m curious to know how people felt about the meeting of President Trump and Kim Jung Un. I know it was frowned upon, especially the media portraying worst than it actually was (no surprise). I didn’t think it was as bad as it was made out to be. If you’re a world leader and see an opportunity to maybe talk some sense into a bad person to lay down the nukes and possibly even talk peace with the rest of the world and maybe even help that bad leaders people, would you take the chance?
I just love all you honourables, you made our world so wonderful. It's so nice to see you're intelligence. Thanks for making social media. And welcome us to view.
