This is a universal rule on tl but apparently it needs repeating. Website feedback or PMs to the mod involved for questions about moderation. - KwarK

Don't really think he has any influence in the NK government, dunno why anyone is expecting that he would be the next head of state. No way when he is that westernized...but he does seem like a good guy who managed to escape the BS and brainwashing in NK. And fortunate to be born in privileged circumstances.

the dark side of moderating a community like TL is that whenever you make a mistake people will not just shut up.

Kim Jong Il was relatively westernised compared to his father, as a lover of American pop culture and basketball, not to mention that mongrel attempt at a Pompadour which he calls hair. Ideologically too, he was a more modern leader, although he fell short of the stage presence or charisma of his father. I suspect that the present leader, Kim Jong-un, may be the most Westernised man in North Korea.

As singular as the power in North-Korea appears, a single leader will make little difference.

Kim-Jong-Ill bloated the military, and they will be damned if they are going to let some nobody gut their massive budget. They know what it's like to be a North-Korean without a gun, they keep them under control and execute them on a daily basis.

How exactly do you take power from people with guns?

North-Korea is locked in place, unless the military happens to turn democratic.

It seems the main point of this thread seems to be discussing the mods decisions of warnings and bans.
And rightfully i may dare to say.

Btw it seems Han Sol is a rebel xd.

Maybe we have finally found the person to unite the Koreas, I just hope his outside education continues to expose the truth behind the whole situation so he can look at it objectively and be a great leader one day.

Seriously, all the warnings and bans are derailing this thread from the actual subject, and onto bashing mods. I agree with most posters, these warnings are pointless, they take away from the object of the thread, and serve only to increase negativity.

Whomever is modding this thread, please go have a nap, and then come back with fresh mind, and less anger.

ONTOPIC: I really hope this (and more openness towards different ideas in NK) will further the relationship between North and South Korea, and help move towards a united KR.

This was actually pretty clever.. Not worth a warning, imo.

That was an interesting interview.

I tried to work out how close in line he (Han Sol) is to being the supreme leader of NK. The answer appears to be surprisingly close.

If the current leader Kim Jong-un, is assassinated, then as Kim Jong-un has no children, control may pass to Han Sol's father (who was next in line until 2001), and then when his father dies Han Sol is next in line as the eldest child. This may require Han Sol's father to act in a more statesman like way, e.g. give up his dream of attending Disneyland in Japan.

Unfortunately this puts Han Sol's father in a dangerous position. If the military doesn't like the behavior of the current leader, Kim Jong-un they may attempt to assassinate him. The obvious, and sadly frequently implemented, defensive response in these type of situations is for the current leader to kill all obvious successors to leadership, including Han Sol's father, and Han Sol himself.

I feel a little sorry for the guy.

well you get interviewed and famous for beeing the nephew of one of the most psycho rulers of the planet
you come in and say hes all bad and look good
you study abroad in fancy schools, with pretty clothes, with an almost perfect english

where his money comes from ?
oh wait, from the million of people dying / starving in his birth country ?
if anything this sort of interview is borderline disgusting and he looks like a little fat arrogant prick

he's not the heir of anything
his opinion is worthless and obnoxious

In the extremely unlikely chance there will be one Korea, that will be very good for US imperialism. We will now dominate the whole Korean peninsula and be right on China's doorstep by land. Things are getting better and better. People hoping for a united Korea are just hoping for the expansion of US power whether they realize it or not, ironically.

The Mexican-American War gave us some of our most important actual territory. The Spanish-American War beat the last of the Spanish in Latin America and gave us heavy power there to this day. The end of WW2 basically gave us Western Europe and parts of the Far East. The Soviet collapse gave us much of Eastern Europe. Anyone else, like backward Arab dictators and monarchs, we just throw money at them and they wag like dogs. Any countries that don't kneel, we destroy them, like Iraq and Serbia.

Who's next? >: )

Why does that Star Wars joke get warned?

Han Solo, hilarious! I don't see anything wrong here.

User was warned for this post

Lol at these warnings...

Mods don't like Star Wars?


How are you not warned yet ? ; D

The joke was fine IMO, and I don't think that having a small joke in a serious topic is such a bad thing !


Edit : Ok I read it, but it's hard not to react to this

Interesting interview! He's quite intelligent for a guy of his age and really hope people won't reject or disapprove of him just because he's the grandson of a dictator. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure there are ignorant people who will.
And to be honest, I was shocked when I heard that the interviewer was speaking Swedish with a Finnish accent :D

he seems like a well mannered guy, but he's not just some kid. he's a privileged individual who lives off of the benefits of a dictator state that treats it's people like cattle. it's great that he has a wider view of the world than his grandfather likely did. but I doubt he'd have any compassion for the people in his country who suffer and die for his well being.
