Kim Jong-un's Latest Party Trick: Arresting Officials for Boat Blunders
By Vixen Vile, Published 1 day ago
Oh, what's this? Another feather in the cap of North Korea's ever-so-rational leader, Kim Jong-un. His latest act of unparalleled genius involves arresting a senior official because, heaven forbid, a warship didn't launch properly. Because clearly, when a boat has issues, it's not a mechanical or engineering fault; it's definitely the human element failing. Or so Kim thinks.
Remember the time he discovered that the moon wasn't made of cheese? That must've been the day he decided that the simplest solution to national embarrassment is just to arrest someone. One would think that perhaps there might be a more constructive approach, like, oh, I don't know, fixing the issue or training the personnel. But then, where's the fun in that?
And here we are, witnessing the beauty of a regime that believes in sending people to the gulag for a little boat trouble. It's like that scene in a melodrama where the villain, in a fit of rage, punishes the nearest underling for daring to fail in their grand scheme. Oh, the drama!
But let's give credit where credit is due. At least Kim's party remains on brand, ensuring everyone's aware of who's really in charge. The lesson here? In North Korea, if you're going to fail, do it spectacularly or not at all, because minor failures come with a side of prison time.
