Who North Korea probably still thinks is a world super-power

This is just shitty world-building. Even if you believe North Korea is deeply weird prison country where people eat rats that eat people and push trains, the leadership knows what’s going on in the world.

I remember as a kid when Saddam Hussein was bad, one of the propaganda things about him was in private he’d wear a cowboy hat and watch US movies. Like that’s how they need to Portray Kim Jong-Un. Slipping out of his leader’s uniform to put on baggy blue jeans and fire up MTV etc
