We've all seen them; Kim jong-un's henchmen taking notes as he waffles on.
So, what are they up to? It seems that the fat boy's words are regarded as ultimate, god-like, wisdom, and not a single word should be lost.
The top big-wigs need to be seen by the hoi-polloi (on TV) writing down every word, and treating their supreme leader with total reverence. I wonder what they do with the scribbled pages when they get home?
Those military chiefs must know far more of whatever he's lecturing about, than the fat boy himself, but they are forced to look as if they are in awe. They must be sick of it.
It really is surprising that someone doesn't take a pot-shot at him.
L'Hysterie collective se note également parmi les "fans" de Trump.The yellow haired psychopath is not better than Kim something.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Only you could compare the horrors of the North Korean regime to that of the USA.
DeleteThey're writing down their lunch order. They don't have to eat grass like the people.
DeleteWhy not ? Kim and Trump are behaving like crazy people.Hate, non respect of humans, racism and praising neo nazis (Trump seems to find them being good people) what else do you need? Only you in your tiny retired French village think that one is better than the other. Up to you.
DeleteFat boy is seriously threatening to launch nuclear weapons against American territory; Trump is doing his best to avoid any attack, by sanctions etc. Hardly the same.
DeleteYour opinion not mine. Trump longs for a war. He's mentally sick.
DeleteHe is certainly very odd, but I don't see him as a war-mongerer.
DeleteI know what they don't use them for. They would put more on than they took off.
ReplyDeleteIt is curious though. I wonder if anyone checks them to see what they've written?
DeleteThey are writing down their orders. They use a secret code and invisible ink. You can bring it up with lemon juice, I seem to remember from childhood. You can probably check the spike at the nearest Chinese restaurant to see what the orders were.
DeleteMaybe some of them are doodling cartoons of fat boy.
DeleteI'm with you in wondering why somebody hasn't taken a shot at this pudgy megalomaniac despot.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he's determined to be recorded in history alongside Hitler?
He certainly likes to live dangerously.
DeleteIt's a bit like that in America with Trump! Another dangerous man.
ReplyDeleteNot as dangerous as fat boy; but not far off.
DeleteAfter 2.30 UK time all your comments are going to be about Trump, not Kim.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for more suggestions about their notes/sketch pads.
DeleteThe notepads actually remind me of José Mourinho when he first started football management in the UK at Chelsea and he would stand on the touchline making notes on a small pad and everybody wondered what on earth he was writing. Sometimes he was writing so much he didn't appear to look at the field of play. Now nearly all the managers do it, except Arsene Wenger. Perhaps the N Koreans are going to similarly set a trend.
DeleteMaybe he's telling them all about Basketball!
DeleteAt least he's a big target
ReplyDeleteIt's only a question of knowing where he is at a specific time.
DeleteNK being a small country,previously ravaged by the USA, feels the need for security.
ReplyDeleteNK has offered to halt development..both to Obama and Trump..if they get quid pro quo...
They are behaving like a pair of brats in a yard, starting with name calling and poking and gradually escalating.
Funny how whatever provocation NK does is reported, but what USA/SK does is not properly reported.....
Where do you work? Your final sentence is intriguing.
DeleteAs a small, and poverty stricken, country they should probably try to gain friends rather than make enemies. Given a different attitude, they could possibly become a viable country again within a decade or so.
DeleteI do not work for anyone, just observe. I am an artist like Cro, in clay when I can.
DeleteFlypasts by warplanes on a border, military practising, provokes action by those on the other side of the border. You're lucky to get a mention of what the US/SK are doing. Propaganda is not limited to one side or the other, they are all at it.
"like Cro" hey!
DeleteThey are all power hungry, deluded little megalomaniacs.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for politicians such as Macron and May.
DeleteWell Macron takes himself like a little "empereur" and well May not my cup of tea. A changIng mind.
DeleteBut neither go around threatening other countries with nuclear annihilation! Grow up!
DeleteYou make me laugh. You got something of a school teacher, always giving lessons.
DeleteGod Kim is still a victim to rain and needs protection from falling water. Like the US tried to poison Fidel's cigars, perhaps the US is poisoning North Korea's rain that falls on him. I am not sure how seriously western governments are taking him, but the media and public certainly are.
ReplyDeleteThe only politician (if that's the right description) that I've actually talking about the problem is Trump; everything else I've gleaned from the press.
DeleteI often wonder the same Cro - it is all mystifying.
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose we'll ever know the answer.
DeleteThey look like anxious waiters.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Gwil was right, they're all taking down his burger orders.
DeletePot shot...the guy in the background, watching, is probably thinking exactly that!
ReplyDeleteI think he's wearing a gun too!
DeleteHe has no problem in ordering the death of relatives. So to plan his death must be a fearful thought. If you fail, he will wipe out your family, if not your village.
ReplyDeleteI've heard from more than a few Americans, that they honestly believe 45 has dementia of some form.
Now, I wonder how NK is monitoring this post? Will you have NK trolls, posting about how dear leader is the bestest of the best?
Don't worry 50, I have a big anti-NK stick by the back door. I dare them!
