Weary of the psychotic crew posing as “government” in our country? Take a break with the psychotic crew “governing” North Korea, as reported in today’s Harper’s Weekly Review:
The parliament of North Korea amended the country’s constitution to empower the government to launch an immediate nuclear strike in the event of the supreme leader’s assassination.
An immediate nuclear strike on whom?
I’d think a nuclear strike on a human assassin would be what the French, in devastasting understatement, call de trop, right? This amendment doesn’t specify targeting the assassin, or what sort of investigation will be carried out to discover the assassin. I mean, in the few minutes between (1) assassination and (2) “immediate” nuclear strike.
So maybe they’re sort of constitutionalizing anger and grief and saying, “We’re feeling so wail-y we’re going to launch a nuclear strike at wherever because it’ll make us all feel better”?
Hasn’t North Korea has had some little trouble with their nuclear weaponry? Like, the missiles don’t launch properly and don’t head up and out in anything like a planned direction? Like, no GPS on board giving it the route (depending on traffic) or frantically announcing, “Recalibrating”?
I hope this gives you comfort that there’s a world-class Dear Leader crazier than ours.
