The word "could" is doing massive work in that headline
Top tier title haha
Guess they finally found a way in which Kim can genuinely be called a loser
It seems silly, but it could indicate that he is either taking care of himself now, even he can't get enough food, or he is sick. All of this could have implications for the Kim regime and their relationships with the external world.
Best case scenario is a slow and steady retreat from dictatorship into a more democratic governance model. I don't think that'll happen, but I don't feel too chipper about a relatively feeble and economically and politically unstable country purchasing any nuclear arms at all.
Your usage of "dictatorship" to describe the Democratic People's Republic of Korea along with the rest of your statement shows your ignorance about the entire country.

So then the US should get rid of their nukes, correct?
So I think I was pretty tired when I wrote that. But in case I wasn't clear, I meant that I don't like the thought of countries, such as North Korea, who are only relatively stable, in possession of nuclear arms.
I really was not talking about the United States. We have our own issues, but I don't think we're about to start any nuclear wars on a whim. Yes our politics are pretty screwed up at the moment, but I don't see it as likely that any yahoos, like that bodily fluids air force guy in Dr. Strangelove, can just start a nuclear exchange.
No, I don't think the US is going to give up it's nukes anytime soon, there's lots of politics in play, and half the point of NATO is that it's under the protection of the US nuclear umbrella.
By dictatorship I mean a government with extreme accumulation of government, and usually military, power in less than a handful of individuals with ineffective or even lack of democratic elections.
Edit: so what's up with all the N. Korean defenders here???
