North Korean dictator orders execution by mortar

There’s a general presumption in geopolitics that most national governments are, by and large, rational actors. They might be sinister and ruthless, and they’ve all got their little quirks, but for the most part they’re sane.

And then you’ve got Kim Jong-Un, the gibbering lunatic who runs North Korea. He’s the third generation of psychotic “leadership” that tortured country has endured. He’s turning out to be a clever little demon.

Kim Jong-Un has been purging the North Korean military of officers he perceives as a threat. His latest victim was Kim Chol, vice-minister of the army. The minister was arrested for being insufficiently glum during the officially mandated mourning period for North Korea’s previous dictator, Kim Jong-Il. Allegedly, he was “drinking and carousing” during the mandatory days of sorrow. (For most North Koreans, “drinking and carousing” means finding water that isn’t contaminated with bacteria, but the military lives much better than the peons.)

This show of disrespect for the previous Dear Leader left Kim Jong-Un so distraught that he ordered the vice-minister not only executed, but erased. ”Leave no trace of him behind, down to his hair,” the executioners were told.

So they ranged in a mortar on a particular spot, forced Kim Chol to stand there, and then lobbed a mortar round into his lap, blowing him to smithereens.

Not with the current administration but that will change in 8 days.

The radical socialist of the 60's have no idea what is about to happen to their utopian dream.

We are cutting their OODA to shreds.

They dropped the mortar in his lap, did they? North Korea is therefore a nation to fear, as that is pin-point accuracy with a WW1 weapon. It might also be pure BS propaganda from the USA/UK.

It seems North Korea is flush with cash again. Whats the cost of a mortar round compared to a rifle round?

If i was Kim Chol i would be hoping the mortar was chinese made, greater probability of it being a dud.

The world has really gone mad, these are strange times.

But still, even if it's dud, imagine being hit with one, especially if it hits you in the nuts!
