I don't pay as much attention to him as our media and as the administration does.

To the extent that I do, I would note that Kim is a Stalinist fascist. He is an egotist -- but that is hardly rare among world leaders of any stripe as elected or not it goes with the territory.

I have denigrated the metal capacity of NONE of the aforementioned. Putin is clearly shrewd (fascism does not preclude intelligence), Trump demonstrably sharp (asshats need not be stupid), and Kim has allowed South Korea to maneuver him exactly where he wants to be (Stalinist fascists pretty much have to be shrewd, and amoral, and vindictive...or they end up dead at the hands of their loving subjects).
