Another of Kim Jong-un’s brilliant ideas comes in the form of geopolitics. Kim is excellent at playing off the super powers. If he wants some more aid or for people to back off, he just threatens nuclear war. The US and everyone else backs down, he gets what he wants and then slowly, slowly removes the nukes from the table (which may or may not even exist). So without actually fighting anyone, he gets his own way.
To be fair, he got that idea off his dad, but it’s a keeper.
