There was a candidate with a similar pitch for last year US presidential elections. Speaking about dissolution in a digestive track.
However, he (or it?) didn't win.

I think getting control on Donald Trump would be far easier for his good ally Angela than disciplining Kim Jong Un would be for the Xi.
China may be NK's main, almost only, trade partner,
Beijing still can't allow the NK regime to collapse, and Kim Jong Un knows it.

The thing is that there is no such group of "smart people" anywhere. Never was, at any time.
No more than there is a Santa Claus. Human history is not only tragic, it is chaotic.
But this is something I would suggest to keep hidden from children and other overly sensitive people. I think however that all members of this forum are adult.

Indeed.
To keep some perspective about
"wild meth heads", one may remember that NK is not the only State which has built nuclear weapons. If building those, or allying with somebody who has some so as to feel protected, is proof of berserk craziness, then I'm afraid almost the entire developed world is led by meth heads

More realistically, KJU is anything but a craze maniac. He uses nuclear armament as
the only dependable protection against regime change. Which is a perfectly rational strategy.
And no matter where they are now, both Saddam Hussein and Muammar Kadhafi are praying for his success.
