Country is on the verge of mass famine, great work on the weapons program though Kim.

It’s really sad seeing resources allocated in the worst way possible

It's the Standard Issue Dictator Plan

Use the country's resources to keep in power instead of helping the people.

I don't want to give Kim Jong-un any ideas, but wouldn't treating your citizens well and keeping them happy a better way to maintain your power?

Doesn’t really matter with such complete brainwashing they don’t know any differently

GSBro1 t1_j9b0qr7 wrote

The biggest flaw in my suggestion is assuming Kim Jong-un would make a rational decision which, ofc, is impossible for him to do.

No thats the worst thing you can do if the citizens are to busy working to feed them selfs there to busy to turn on you. The second life gets better there going to have free time and see how badly there been fucked. If there not half starved to death there going to have the energy to do more than just keep them selfs alive and think about fighting back. IF they do not fight back there far more likely to try to run away to China/SK or even hurl them selfs in to the sea and try to end up anywhere else but NK.

That would be by design. A hungry population is too concerned over where their next meal is coming from as opposed to plotting a revolution.

Thank you for my new favorite conspiracy theory.

North Korea very well may go down in history for saving all of mankind.

In the Call of Cthulhu tabletop game, there are actually rules for hitting Cthulhu with a nuke.

It says it works for a few hours, then he reforms, pissed off and very very radioactive.

They have effectively made the problem 10x worse

peepjynx t1_j9b25gw wrote

Wouldn't that be the gaslight of the century though. Having Japan repeatedly thank them for the missiles so the kaiju don't get out of hand.

Sending clips and deep fakes of Godzilla being struck down.

How long can this family hold power? At some point, there has to be an uprising of the people.

opposedeggs t1_j9ak6am wrote

Mental warfare is real. Most the change will have to start with the mentality of the collective, but 99% of that population is brainwashed, indoctrinated, and/or scared to do anything. They also have no resources for an uprising so it would be tough to overthrow the government unless they are foreignly funded. That nation will be like that for a long time.

bonyponyride t1_j986h2k wrote

We know they have nuclear capabilities, and we know they have ICBMs, but what kind of technological leap is required to make a nuclear warhead that functions in an ICBM? It seems like that would be vastly more complicated.

1

NotShey t1_j9a4fbi wrote

The main issue is miniaturization of the nuclear weapon. Basic nukes are huge, and ballistic missiles have a very limited payload. Making a nuclear warhead small enough to fit on a ballistic missile is very technically challenging.

It's unclear on where NK is on doing this, but with Chinese or Soviet assistance, it's not implausible that they would be able to do it.
