North Korea's Kim Jong Un Gets Drunk, Punishes Military Leaders Until They Cry
Source: International Business Times
Kim Jong Un got drunk and ordered military leaders to write statements about their failures while visiting his summer villa, according to a Japanese press report published Tuesday. The punishment also required the military veterans to write an apology.
"That none of you were able to produce not even one military satellite is a misconduct that is commensurate to treason," Kim allegedly told senior officials at the time. The veterans were required to stay up all night writing the letters, but when Kim found them in the morning, he was allegedly confused about why there were gathered at his vacation home. "Why are you gathered here?" Kim allegedly said, before adding: "Be careful about your health because you are all old."
Some of the military leaders began crying, fearful that Kim would order their executions or forced deportations from North Korea, as he has done in the past to other North Korean leaders who were faced with his reportedly hot temper.
"The government uses threats of detention, forced labor, and public executions to ensure obedience and imposes harsh restrictions on freedom of information and movement. It criminalizes leaving the country without official permission, and in some instances state security services actively pursue North Koreans into China, seeking to detain and forcibly return them," Human Rights Watch concluded about Kim's rule in a recent report.

In-fact everything we know about the situation says otherwise for the entire citizenry. But, what the hell do I know. Enough people in this country thought Trump was a good enough idea that it put the election in close enough quarters the Russians were able to swing things.
