Do everything in our power to keep it that way

The power-crazy kid in charge of the oligarchy of North Korea is threatening to nuke parts of the USA as punishment for the sanctions imposed by them.
I guess that his neighbour China is big and bossy enough to keep the kid in line but his threats do not make comfortable reading.
It appears that there are 24 embassies in Pyongyang and it has been suggested that the diplomats leave rather promptly. I guess those diplomats could tell us stories that would keep us awake at night. I am surprised that they even have embassies in a place like that as it is certainly not a holiday destination.
The power of Kim Jong Un lies in the fact that his people know nothing of the rest of the world.
Thank heavens we live in a democracy, government by the people and for the people, free speech, the right to protest, government in which supreme power is invested in the people, and we must do everything in our power to keep it that way.
I cannot imagine a life as that lived by those unfortunate enough to live in North Korea!
