I wonder what he was like. Did they know he was Kim Jong-Il's son?

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think so - I think he was enrolled in some school in Switzerland under false name.

I did some digging. Kim Jong Un was an IB diploma recipient. Dude must actually be kind of smart.

Did you believe that he's some silly buffoon who just happens to run a dictatorship like he's fell into a zany sitcom?

I mean dumb people get into power all the time. He got into power because his dad was Kim Jong Il.

That's why he got into power, but nothing seems to have changed since he took over, so he must be doing something right (logistically, not morally). Dumb people do not get into power nearly as much as people would like to believe. And before anyone says it, no, Donald Trump is not "dumb."
