The intelligence file on Kim Jong-un

[DonViejo]

Jonathan Swan1 hour ago

Over the past decade, allied intelligence agencies have pieced together a profile of the young Kim Jong-un from extensive interviews with teachers, students, food preparers, and other staff at the elite Swiss school that Kim attended during his adolescence, according to a source who has carefully studied the classified binder on Kim.

The big picture: "The picture that emerged from literally dozens of interviews bears a striking similarity with the man he has emerged into today," the source said. "Gluttonous, prone to fits of anger and swaggering around his classmates. Kim Jong-un was an in-attendant student but demanded slavish loyalty from other children in his wake."

"He was prone to violence,” the source added. “He had a couple of young guys who were with him" at the Swiss school, and "he hit them frequently."

"He didn't do well in school. He was distracted a lot."

The binder describes the young Kim making vague and grand declarations to his classmates — for example, after games he would say, in the source's recollection, "some day you will all remember me."

1. I see combustion with the meeting of these two meglomaniacs

Next week will be interesting.

The icing on the cake will be the arrest of Manafort and Cohen.

2. in-attendant?

Great writing. He meant “inattentive.”

3. If he went to school in Switzerland, it wasn't in Korean

Most likely either English or French (International School of Lausanne?), or both. I wonder if his English is good enough to talk to Trump one on one?

I saw one report that said while he was there, he went under an assumed name, which would explain the remark that his classmates would all remember him "some day." If they had known he was Kim Jong-Il's son, I think they would have remembered him from day one. He may be right that they will remember him, but I doubt it will be "fondly."

7. I believe he speaks english and german.

He spend years educated in switzerland where he learned both german and english. Here is an old article from the sunday times (sri lanka):

9. If it was Bern, then it would indeed have been German and English

And the article confirms what I remembered--his identity was concealed until he left.

Two dictators with ADD. This should go down great. They'll make some small talk, leave the real talking to the pros who know how to fill up a day of negotiations without saying a thing of substance, and find a secure basement where they can watch porn flicks.

4. Just like Spanky as a kid. Two nasty little juvenile delinquents

grown up to be two nasty fat guys with weird haircuts and delusions of grandeur.

They'll try to dominate each other because both are compelled to win at all costs. Maybe they'll just get too close together and disappear in a bolt of blue lightning, leaving nothing behind but a faint whiff of brimstone.

5. Could

easily have been dt. We have no idea what a spoiled kid he was. Well, an idea. But, he probably got away with so much shit that will never see the light of day.

6. We do know what kind of a kid he was.

Bratty, violent, domineering, so uncontrollable that his parents sent him away to a military school.

8. I bet there's oh so much more.

He acts like military school was to instruct him in all things military. Naw...just retired drill sargeants who know how to take a kid down a few pegs. Pretty standard disposal for a few years if your parents are fed up with you.

10. Gosh golly gee! Sounds like the dude from the book "The Making of Donald Trump"!

Book talks about his childhood and school years as well as his "adult" life.
