The Story Of Kim Jong Un, North Korea’s Nuclear-Armed Dictator & The Man The West Loves To Hate
Kim Jong-Un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, is often portrayed as a bloodthirsty madman, intent on nuking its adversaries in Asia and the West.
The 40-year-old constantly makes headlines for his nuclear tests, bizarre diktats and his iron grip on power. But is there more to Kim Jong Un than what Western propaganda would have us believe?
Since 1984, North Korea has fired off more than 270 missile launches and nuclear tests. 25% of these were in 2022 alone, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. In 2022, Kim fired more missiles than any other year on record, at one point launching 23 missiles in a single day.
He was widely expected to be a reformer – so how did Kim Jong Un end up following in the footsteps of his father and his grandfather? Why is Kim now seen as one of the world’s most ruthless & dangerous leaders, one who holds the potential of starting a nuclear war in his hands?
