“North Korea’s Kim”? What a bizarre way to title it.
There are two famous Kims and this is the NK one
who’s the other ?
Kim Basinger? Kim Catrall? Kim Possible?
Kim Nuts
Hah, Got 'eem!
keeping up with the jongdashians?
Seems fine to me. It’d be like saying “Mexico’s López Obrador”. It just seems unnecessary since Kim is more widely known and frequently in the news.
“Americas Kennedy eats at a McDonalds”, first off which Kennedy? And does the country own him? It feels so unnatural to word it this way.
Now saying “North Koreas Leader” or “Kim Jong Un leader of North Korea” Yeah sure that sounds perfectly cromulent.
If the US had a Kennedy who was head of state, it would be obvious and the form used in this title would work well. As, that is not the case, additional specificity is needed; that is not the case with regard to a foreign outlet reporting on the DPRK’s head of state.
Well it certainly is needed in North Koreas case because the whole family runs the show and there is often mention of Yo Jong ordering things around and Ju-ae seems to be groomed for next in line so she’ll be appearing more often in headlines going forward meaning we’re in a triple Kim situation here.
Nope, it’s understood to be the head of state. Sorry, move along.
Confirmed, normal people understand this given the context of who is head of state.
But I’ll give them that it’s an unusual phrasing, can’t lie.
I see what you mean now, kind of clunky and nonspecific.
Yeah, it should just be “Kim orders military to accelerate war preparations” that way it’s not weird.
“Guys, you know all the military stuff we pretend to do due to the lack of money for training? Yeah we’re gonna pretend more now and maybe actually get you guys some hours in the real deal for this next huge war we will definitely be a part of.”
Kim needs to rile up his people every now than then to keep them scared and manageable.
Oh yeah north Korea definitely wants to start wars totally. They don’t have an industrious military because of the devastation they experienced during the Korean war that was so severe there weren’t any targets left to bomb, it’s because they want to start wars. For sure.
This article is just some nonsense fear mongering
