Poor likkle Kimmy, the leader of a dying country. Very soon he will have more missiles than people, but then one cannot sell people to fight in wars.......Yet!!!

The exfiltration process from that vehicle is to butter his sides and to throw a pork roast in the road.

Try as Mr Kim might, his regime will never be able to produce as many atomic weapons as the US which managed to level Pyongyang in the 20th century with conventional weapons.

Fatboi is ramping up missile and other military hardware to sell to Russia.

And this is exactly what the Chinese government has provided to hundreds of millions of Chinese civilians over the past two decades and he's giddy at the thought of dropping a nuke on China.
Some people are forever lost to reason.

You're a big man, but you're in bad shape.

No thinner than it was in 2000. And what does that say about you that you think it is okay for a country to focus on military while it is receiving handouts? Inb4 invaded country like Ukraine.

Why have those two people in the main photo been pixellated? Maybe unpersoned after cracking jokes about Kim getting stuck as he tried to squeeze out of the vehicle?
Coulda been
In the main photo he is actually asking his scribes 'how the hell do I get out of this thing?"

After all, he has capitalist entrepreneurship just as the US and Europe make these for a profit.

Kim, an obese spoiled child, uses the few resources they have to make more weapons while their population starves to death.

While it happens, thousands in North Korea are dying of starvation!

Here’s what the average Kim on the block in North Korea has on his mind:

You need the rear view mirror for reversing really fast when trying to avoid being HIMARSed...

I like the rear view mirror, as if you have to be worried about looking behind the thing.

Finally little kim has become a capitalist, he finally figured out how to make money from wars and conflicts like the rest of the G7.

Fighto!: "How about providing infrastructure, hospitals, medicine, agricultural capabilities and FOOD for your people first, little Rocket Man? You know, the things all responsible governments are supposed to do."
Oh! You're talking about North Korea! I thought you were talking about Japan maybe providing for social security, infrastructure, understaffed hospitals, agricultural capabilities (instead of subsidizing farmers who don't want to work in a nation 60% reliant on imports), and FOOD that is going up in costs every single day while wages are not, and staff are decreasing due to the aging population! My bad. Instead, while we are paying through the teeth in taxes in Japan, that is all going towards... oops... more missiles. Or at least, more planes and guns, while the government tells us there is not enough for food and they have to increase taxes. Take a look in the mirror, my friend.

My guess is that they are doing a Jackie Trees horn from The Big Lebowski.

Also ever noticed how he makes a point of making everyone around hold their little notebooks for the photo op? The guy is always ready to pass his unmatchable wisdom to all the specialists around him.

Looking koolio Kim make them say “uhh nananah”

What do they write in their little notebooks? Every word that he says?

I like how they can make mosaic on some of the people in his pic, but I guess not enough funds to fully mosaic everyone's face.
As if it matters if we see their faces or not.
On the other hand, that is a very clean waiter's jacket he has on. All class.

Putin's "Special Military Operation" has gone on longer than expected and is draining resources and supplies. A great opportunity for North Korea.
Martimurano
He looks like some obese barrow-boy barking his orders to the surrounding waiters - yeh, I'll have another 15 of those really-big IBM'S, about 4,000 drones, and a side-order of those deadly anti-personnel mines..... that'll keep the people busy for a while, stop them from starving to death.

My missile is bigger than your missile...

He’s covering for something.
Could be that he’s ramping up military production for hard currency contracts with Russia.
Could be that he is struggling internally due to economic stagnation and popular discontent (we wouldn’t hear about this till he’s either gone or is truly ganging by a thread).
Could be both.
Point is, SOMETHING is driving. Fat boi’s behavior and it’s not an imaginary Western “threat.”

I like this tieless look Kim is going for in this nice white number. Fashion icon right here

So both North Korea and China are telling their militaries to get ready for war. It looks like they are preparing to start something the rest of the world will end up paying for.
I guess the rest of us should also "get ready for war"!
Elvis is here
Hands up who is surprised?
Fighto!
How about providing infrastructure, hospitals, medicine, agricultural capabilities and FOOD for your people first, little Rocket Man? You know, the things all responsible governments are supposed to do.
Not important to the despicable Kim dynasty I guess.
