We are currently trying to make sense of what we see as the loonytoon political systems in North Korea

A leader clearly off his head, an economy trying to function on debt, while trying to support a top heavy military system, and an elite doing very nicely, while the rest are sinking lower and lower into poverty and hopelessness.

They threaten other countries if their demands are not met

Or did I just describe the USA as well?.

Just a matter of scale I think.
