We learn from a very young age in life the unfortunate reality that not all human beings are good people. Whatever their reasons are, they just seem to have this need to push around and bully other people that don’t agree with them.

As we get older, we realize that bullying isn’t something that some kids just “grow out of”, it becomes an escalating problem when you deal with people who have an ideology and way too much power. History is chock full of examples of guys who punish and even kill those who disagree with them: Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Hitler, and bin Laden to name a few.

Kim Jong Un seems like just another such bully, having tested his ability to deliver nuclear payloads and intercontinental ballistic missile. It does often seem that only the threat of what other nations would do to him is the only thing that keeps him from launching a strike (which seems to be a way of life for bullies. They only like to start fights when they KNOW that they can win.)
