Reference April 10 Round 5 Summary - Member Comment

It was brought to my attention (from one of the more astute NFGA members) that Kim Jong Un, not Kim Jong Il is the current leader of North Korea.

While any feedback from this group is appreciated but totally unexpected, I must confirm my statement while attempting not to offend the intelligence of the individual who brought this to my attention.

Kim Jong Un (Romanized spelling) is the current leader of North Korea after his father’s (Kim Jong Il) passing in 2011.

Additionally, rhetoric is defined as “complex or elaborate language that only succeeds in sounding pretentious.” Kim Jong Il frequently used rhetoric and changed it even more frequently which was subsequently called out by his international counterparts as "popping off" and "saber rattling." Hence, my reference to “fluctuating rhetoric” by Kim Jong Il.

On the other hand, Kim Jong Un has not “fluctuated” and has only issued statements that are (so far) in line with his original intent to start a conflict with the US and/or its allies.

Qualified member comments are more than welcome but not at all expected.
