After washing away the scum and the filth North Korea is back on top and ready to take on the world. Maybe they'll threaten to burn down Seoul and Washington like they did last year or they'll up their game and give the rest of the world a chance to burn.
Kim Jong Un boasted Wednesday that North Korea enters the new year on a surge of strength because of the elimination of "factionalist filth" — a reference to the young leader's once powerful uncle, whose execution last month raised questions about Kim's grip on power.
Already widespread worry about the country has deepened since Kim publicly humiliated and then executed his uncle and mentor, one of the biggest political developments in Pyongyang in years, and certainly since Kim took power two years ago after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il.North Korea's "resolute" action to "eliminate factionalist filth" within the ruling Workers' Party has bolstered the country's unity "by 100 times," Kim said in a speech broadcast by state TV. He didn't mention by name his uncle, Jang Song Thaek, long considered the country's No. 2 power.
A nation living in fear of its ruler is more unified than ever with the fear of what will come next. Economic improvement by turning the country into one large prison camp.
