Scared. Humiliated. Desperate. Impulsive. Dangerous. All of these describe the situation that plagues North Korea today as it continues to suffer from a decades old Communist regime. Their leader‚ Kim Jong-un‚ stands alone against a host of condemning accusations from Western nations and the United Nations.
