I strongly believe that Kim Jong-un is not mad. Quite the contrary. By producing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles capable of delivering them to US territory, Kim has obtained near-assurance that the aggressive US will not attack it, in yet another attempt at regime change.
Born in 1984, Jong-un was seven when the US first bombed Iraq, supposedly to force its troops out of Kuwait. Then the US imposed sanctions on the country that killed half a million children. He was 11 when the US intervened in Yugoslavia, bombing Serbs to create the dysfunctional client state of Bosnia-Herzegovina. He was 15 when the US bombed Serbia and created the dysfunctional client state of Kosovo. He was 17 when the US bombed and brought regime change to Afghanistan. Afghanistan today remains in a state of civil war, still hosting US troops to quell opposition. He was 19 when the U.S. brought down Saddam and destroyed Iraq, producing all the subsequent misery and chaos. He was 27 when the US brought down Gaddafi, destroyed Libya, forced the Yemeni president from power causing chaos, and began supporting armed opposition forces in Syria. He was 30 when the US State Department spent $5 billion to topple the Ukrainian government through a violent coup.
