Looked at in comparison with his fellow citizens, Kim Jung-un might be considered as being a fat man.  All around him are men and women, boys and girls, who might, in another situation, be considered as being of light build. When compared to the rather short and stocky appearance of their 'dear leader.' Which raises the question, why is this? Could it be that the 'dear leader' has a bigger claim on the not abundant food supplies available to the population of North Korean?  Could it be that the scarce resources of the country are being eaten up by its military expenditure. In its quest to become a nuclear weapons armed country? Of course, some people, probably including the 'dear leader', might think it unbecoming of me to comment on this matter.  After all, is it not the prerogative of the 'dear leader', that, like probably all 'esteemed leaders', he should have the most and the best of everything in North Korea?

If us sentient humans are to continue to evolve into increasingly more enlightened and tranquil beings.  Then it is incumbent upon us, that, we are continuously observing ourselves, the impact of our behaviour on ourselves and our habitat, and strive to achieve symmetry and synchronicity.  Probably more than anything else, it is crucial that we review and evolve, develop, our beliefs about the past.  And not try to maintain their professed 'purity' and arbitrarily make them an alter or shrine to our future, as the past cannot be the way to the future. But rather an obstacle, if it is used to condition the future. In her moment of reflection and re-examination, on her journey of hoped for more enlightenment, America, or, rather, the United States of America, is at war with it self again, after 156 years of the start of  its murderous 4 year Civil War.  A monumental slaughtering which was visited upon the land, 78 years after the ending of the 8 year War of Independe

It is a strategy which, I believe, should put an end to the 'action-reaction' deadly waltz which Washington and Pyongyang have been indulging in for the past several months. The Americans, South Koreans and Japanese need to stop reacting to every development from North Korea. Even when those developments are worrying and potentially very grave.  Not responding does not mean not doing anything to try to counter the provocations from North Korea.  It means not feeding the megalomanic pretensions of Kim Jung-un and his regime.  Not providing him with the stage for him to massage his ego, his Hitlerian aspirations. It means continuing planning for certain possible or probable scenarios, but not publicising them for Kim and his government.  It means not constantly calling for sanctions against North Korea, and not putting relentless pressures on the Chinese to do America's dirty work for it.  It means the United States, especially the her Ambassador to t

America is insisting that Russia complies with all that it is asking of it, e.g., with respect to the Ukraine conflict, Syria, etc.  It is increasing the squeeze on Russia and not lessening it. Which means that, the smaller self-respecting countries which America has been bullying, be it in Africa, Asia, South America or the Middle and Far East, Russia cannot afford to eat her self respect and submit to America' attempt to dictate to her.  It has to resist, because, if it does not, the pressure will be increased even further; probably until the point where it begins to hurt America to an unacceptable level. What is needed is a proper mechanism for Russia and America to have bilateral discussions, assisted with a suitable mediator.   To help them to resolve their bilateral problems, and end the drain on resources which could be being used to address other world problems needing to be resolved. So far the leaders of the more influencial European countries, although

To me, President Kim Jun-un. Though I am like a god, indeed, more than a god to the 25+ million people over whom I rule, what makes good sense to sane people appears to me like nonsense, as weakness.  Which is why I am prepared to do obey the voice in my head, even if it should result in the death of millions of North Koreans and hundreds of thousands of South Koreans, Japanese and others.  Yes, in my madness, my delusions of grandeur, if you will, I am prepared to take on the Americans and their allies.  Because I believe myself and my government, my army to be invincible. Yes, I am like the primitive but murderous renegade in some West African country.  Who believe that their 'juju medicine', which, in my case, is my nuclear weapons, makes me invisible and impenetrable to the might of the Americans and their allies. Because, I, Kim Jung-un, leader of the people of North Korea, is too bereft of sanity, of wisdom and love of peace, to pull back now.  To care

Or might good sense prevail, probably with both countries resorting to arbitration to resolve their escalating estrangement?  But which country or group of countries have the credibility and prudence to act as a mediator to bring them together and execute the 'proverbial knocking of their heads together'?  Not the British, or the French, or the EU or Nato Commissioner and Secretary General.  Probably the United Nations Secretary General, but how about the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel?   Might she not be acceptable to both parties, having just that bit more impartiality than the any of the others, probably except for the UN's Secretary General?  Or what about the Chinese; might they be able to perform the role of being effective mediators; probably with some horse trading on issues such as the North Korean crisis? For now, it seems inconceivable that either the Russians or the Americans will want to be the first to call an halt to the expulsion of the

What is clear is that Kim Jung-un is doing a great job souring the relations between America and China, and Russia also.  This does not augurs well, as, while Kim Jung-un is busy trying to place the world under duress, the Americans are doing the same to the Chinese. But what should the do? Should they contrive to have Kim Jung-un killed by foul or 'fair' means?  Whichever proves to be the quickest and less likely to trigger the massive onslaught from the North Korean government, which we have oftentimes been told would be the likely response?  Well, if it can be done, then so be it, as it is infinitely better that one mad man should die, instead of him causing the deaths of tens of thousands. North Korea is not Iraq of 2003, neither is Kim Jung-un on par with the late Saddam Hussein, who was a brutal dictator, but not a psychotic one like Kim Jung-un. So, what can be done, that might not directly trigger the cataclysmic response which it is feared a military
