    I imagine Kim Jong Un doesn’t want his soldiers spending time in Europe unsupervised before returning back to DPRK. Wouldn’t surprise me if the order came from him to Putin.

    EDIT: the order probably came from Kim Jong Un’s sister, she’s the brutal one. But it no doubt has his stamp of approval.

      I have never heard of that. Source?

        Here is one: https://georgetownsecuritystudiesreview.org/2018/02/21/burying-our-heads-in-the-sand-female-participation-in-political-violence-the-kim-yo-jong-story/

        There are also several books published detailing her brutal rise to power. Jong Un is the happy go lucky benevolent dictator who brought skiing and computers to North Korea. She’s the one who blew up a building she had a meeting with South Korea’s leaders in to make a point about where their diplomacy was headed.

          Thanks.

          I might be misreading but I can’t find anything in that source that implies that she does in anyway run the show or is worse than her brother. The source seems to be mostly about how women in general can be bad and can be terrorists.

          She is very likely a bad person, but from your source I don’t see any reason why she would be the one that did or ordered this. (Assuming the order is true and is a North Korean order at all)

            I didn’t say she ran the show. She does the things her brother can’t do without ruining his likeability. Everything she does is with his complete approval. She currently sits in the highest government position ever occupied by a woman and is in charge of all DPRK’s propaganda (including her brother’s public image) and she is the second in command, reportedly responsible for running the country when her brother is medically incapacitated. Kim Jong Un’s kids are still too young to take power in his absence and if he dies before they come of age, Kim Yo Jong will rule in her brother’s place.

            Here is an article that states Kim Yo Jong called repeatedly for the collapse of the Joint Liason with South Korea office building before it suddenly…did.

              What things?

              I don’t understand. How is it relevant whatsoever if she is a woman or not?

              Does women in power often become brutal or what?

              What sources do you have that she is in anyway more brutal than the one that’s actually in charge. And what are you basing your ideas that she is the one that ordered this?

              I’m not saying she is not brutal (she is part of a dictator regime so the opposite would be surprising) but what is there that points to her being worse than her brother.

      the order probably came from Kim Jong Un’s sister, she’s the brutal one.

      By killing the North Korean soldiers, their families will probably not be punished because they stood their ground. In a very sick and twisted way, these killings probably save the lives of the families. The entire families of “traitors” are executed or put in a penal camp. If she’s so brutal, why would she care about that?
