It's takes a very shallow dive into how North Korea has been governed to find that the atrocities Kim Jong Un is being blamed for were most likely not his doing.
I get the impression that for several years after he was INSTALLED, he was a hood ornament.

Please read this thread by Thomas Wictor. "Frog-Marched" is an excellent descriptor. The arm and hand holding in Korean culture is done ONLY for family and close friends. The DPRK messaging is that Kim Jong Un is their close friend. (not true)
Kim Jong Un & his sister Kim Yo Jong were both educated in Switzerland.
His English was bad at first. He had a strong accent and he was given extra lessons.

I suppose it's possible that Kim Jong Un's father was a puppet of the DPRK and had to do some slick maneuvering to get them educated abroad, or it's possible he was a tyrant that wanted insight into the west, but the reason isn't important, just the results. 
Those who knew "Pak Un," (Kim's alias) say he was indifferent to political issues and never made any anti-American comments. He worshipped basketball players in the NBA. A friend recalls that Kim had a room filled with NBA-memorabilia. english.chosun.com/site/data/html…
"Documents indicate Kim Jong Un lived in Switzerland starting in 1991, and since he is known to have gone to Paris to watch basketball at least once, the 1997 McDonald’s Championship in Paris."

"(It’s not clear when or where Kim would have met Bryant. A communications rep for the Lakers says they have no idea, and we have yet to hear back from Bryant’s agent.)"
I have a question, did Kim Jong Un secretly visit the USA as Pak Un? nymag.com/daily/intellig…

Chicago Bulls vs. Olympiacos McDonald's Open 1997 -Paris
Behind the Bulls bench....I don't know if that's Kim & his sister...but I suppose it could be.

You might remember Kim's sister Kim Jo Yong from the olympics. No one knew who she was back in 2011. english.chosun.com/site/data/html…

I feel pretty certain that Trump has been laughing his ass off at how wrong EVERY journalist and pundit has been about his efforts with North Korea.
Kim's sister seated behind our VP didn't occur by chance.

Kim Jon Un and his sister are remaking North Korea.
Everything points to that, but OUR IDIOTIC MEDIA @cnn @nbc @FoxNews @nytimes @washingtonpost etc. still describes them both as ruthless dictators, when in fact, they don't know ANYTHING about what's happening there.

I'll end where I started, with this @CNN story from 2014 that demonstrates exactly how dishonest the media is. Even when they have the truth from yesterday, they sell you the lies today.
The truth is, Kim has never been the monster they said he was.
