HTOTM: FUSION
I love how, also, recently, the North threatened the South for putting up a 100 foot Christmas tree. The South's response? They put up two more. Kind of off topic, but not completely.

It's good that South Korea isn't afraid of North Korea in my opinion.
I see the death of Christopher Hitchens as having far more impact on the world than that of Kim Jong-Ill. These are the sorts of countries whose leaders are all the same, the country is run like a militarized cult and until we invade or they have a magic spell cast over them, they won't change for some time. The death of Christopher Hitchens is far more influential and will be seen, for a long time to come, as a great loss to humanity. Kim Jong-Ill, Osama, Gaddafi, Castro, Hussein, all of them have and will be replaced will people of a similar nature.

That's what you could assume, and valid it is--though I don't see how a poorly-raised, inexperienced, spoiled war monger will hold his seat very long.

So you can expect him to be a trigger-happy psychopath.

Being a general has nothing to do with personality. You're better off saying he's going to be a trigger-happy psychopath because he's young and inexperienced.

Ultimately, I don't see much of a change occurring between the new rule and the old rule. The only I thing I can even slightly see as a difference is slightly more rash decisions. However, it's more likely he will get ousted as leader by the ruling elite of the country before he can show his true colors.
