We were all thinking it...

So this week our readings covered Asian politicians. Not surprisingly, the first thing I thought of was Kim Jong-Un (because, well, you know- he's pretty much in the news 24/7 these days).
As a Redditor (but who isn't these days?), I've decided to discuss the relationship between Kim Jong-Un and Reddit.
Those of you that are Redditors know that the website often contains memes of him, usually making fun of him and his weight/lack of intelligence/resources, etc. For the most part, none of these things actually have anything to do with him or his policies, or even the possible launch of nuclear weapons. They all just make light of the situation. Many of the memes also encourage North Korea to start a war, as they believe that America will completely crush North Korea. Although its true that North Korea most likely doesn't have the resources to actually do much damage to America, I don't think any of these people are genuinely considering the terrible outcome/damage if all of this were to happen.
Come on, Redditors- war isn't cool. And nuclear weapons are even less cool.
