New York Congressman Peter King says North Korea is not run by a government but instead by a mafia -style family.
“As far as I see, this is not even government. It’s more like an organized crime family running a territory. They are brutal, he is brutal, his father was brutal, his grandfather was brutal. I don’t see any purpose at all in [direct talks with North Korea] at all. It would demoralize our allies in Asia, certainly in South Korea, and it would – to me – serve no constructive purpose whatsoever.” King says. While Kings words are completely accurate what can be done remains to be seen. The US military meanwhile has deployed stealth fighters to South Korea as part of an ongoing joint military exercise that has triggered dire North Korean threats of armed retribution.
