  • 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.

You have to be stronger than the propoganda. The proof was when Biden stole office (watch 2000 Mules) and now Kim Jong went back to being a threat. and until Biden can find a way to profit off N.Korea then nothing will change

    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.
