Stupid, vicious, crazed little tyrant

[fpb]

In a sufficiently dangerous world, where two real and gigantic problems - the rise of a tyrannical, nationalistic and very powerful China, whose long-term ambitions are not clear; and the failed integration into the world community of the Muslim world - desperately need sound and clear-sighted statesmanship, the last thing we needed is that miserable dwarf in Pyongyang taking time out from murdering his people in order to threaten his neighbours with atomic weapons he has no business having and that will do nothing to relieve the systemic starvation of his vile tyranny. This creates an area of high tension at the centre of the world's third most important economic area, and further complicates the already difficult relationships between the US, Japan, China, and a resurgent and bad-tempered Russia. I hope the Dear Leader gets cancer from his damned nuclear toys.
