  • Kim Jong-Un: A Brilliant Leader

    North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un is a rational mastermind who does anything and everything to stay in power, even with most of the world against him.

    ### Credits ###
    -When I wanted to make this video, I read Andrei Lankov’s wonderful book “The Real North Korea”. It informed much of this video but much had to be left out due to time constraints. If you want to learn more, I highly recommend buying his book. https://www.amazon.com/Real-North-Korea-Politics-Stalinist/dp/1511383941/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

    -Map at the beginning of the Korean Peninsula is North Korea by https://freevectormaps.com/north-korea/KP-EPS-02-0001?ref=atr - they provided the vector image which was then edited for use in this video. They own all intellectual property rights of that image, but allow it to be used with attribution.
    -Nighttime aerial photo of Korea courtesy of NASA https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=83182 Astronaut photograph ISS038-E-38300 was acquired on January 30, 2014, with a Nikon D3S digital camera using a 24 millimeter lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by the Expedition 38 crew. It has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by M. Justin Wilkinson, Jacobs at NASA-JSC.
