With so many rumors going around on Kim's situation, what can we expect for a world without this tyrant, can we put hopes on his sister, another "Kim", to be different?

We can always hope but the odds of a successor being much different are slim.

Be careful what you hope for. Why would are we better of with out Trumps friend? Are you saying Trump is a moron for claiming he is a friend?

The only difference here would be.

1. She doesn't have a history of being involved in any kind of brutality/planning etc.
2. She's a woman. While there have always been ruthless women, they are usually less violent then men. ( I know that I will be slammed by some for this..)
3. When KJU took over he was advised by his uncle/aunt along with many other rollovers from his father's team. I'm don't think anyone has so much power/sway in NK at this time. That gives her the power to make changes, IF she wants to.
4. The fact that Trump would be willing to make a deal, might be temping for a new leader as it gives credence and could solidify her power.


But overall she would probably do whatever it takes to make sure that she stays in power. That would mean keeping up the brutality..

You have plenty of company. Sexist remarks are common on this forum.

Or that doing so is a negotiating tactic which we have seen from him numerous times. That doesn't preclude him from being a moron anyhow.

Won't be dragged that rabbit hole...

How has that worked out for covid-19?

Best to stay out of an indefensible position.

See the unquoted portion of the comment.

Ok he is a moron and we get that.
Now how about the question? How did his as you call it "negotiating tactic" of calling China's leader his friend work out with covid-19?

Why does this have to be about trump? Oh i forgot....every thread has to be about him...

So a thread about a dictator hostel to the US has nothing to with the US. OK that makes sense.

Of course it’s a negotiating tactic, which leader isn’t full of themself and enjoys complements?

Why don't you answer the question?

And calling him something else would have been beneficial how?

Can't anyone answer a simple question?
Let me answer it for all of you. Calling China's leader a friend as a "negotiating tactic" failed when it came to covid-19.

Now I will should you the curtesy that you and others don't show me and answer your question.
It would have made no difference. See how easy that is?

Sorry for pulling a Jew on you... But you answering my question negated the premise of yours. If Calling him a different name wouldn't have changed anything, then what are you asking?

ETA: "pulling a Jew" - the immensely frustrating habit of answering a question with another question

Did his so-called "negotiating tactic" as some call it work with the covid-19 situation? The answer is no. I would say it just him being an idiot and not any so-called "negotiating tactic".   

On one hand you hear over and over don't pay attention to what he says. Translation: words don't matter.
Then on the other hand some no name idiot says something and everyone is in uproar to have it taken down.
Either words matter or they don't!!!

Words matter. They matter very much. But when you see someone who is reckless with his words, you tend to disregard what he says. "I love you" is possibly the most important phrase in human society. We live for those words. But when the neighborhood drunk yells them to everyone who passes by, we just ignore him, regardless of the importance of those words in every other setting.
