Kim 3 needs better propagandists
NK's propaganda department needs to hire a better English speaker.
"Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest."
Obviously the intention is not
in the usual USA STRONG terms. Orientals don't understand the concept of
in the usual USA STRONG sense. Orientals understand race and ethnicity in a sane way. They are free to judge people by ethnicity, and they do it all the time. Sensitivity and Die-Versity are NOT meaningful concepts in sane countries. Japs and Chinks and Gooks call us all sorts of nasty names in normal casual conversation, well beyond this peculiar metaphor.
But why this metaphor? It doesn't make sense even after you get rid of the whole crazy business of
How is a monkey in a tropical forest
reckless in words and deeds? Completely disconnected analogy. The only critter in a tropical forest who can afford to be reckless is the top predator, the lion or leopard. Everyone else has to be
goddamn careful so they won't be eaten by the lion. If you want a model of
reckless in words, I'd say Kim 3 himself is a good model. But if you want
reckless in words AND deeds then any recent American president is the top predator. No animal can possibly beat a Bush or a Clinton or an Obama in that department. Presidents casually wipe out entire countries without even knowing it.
So the correct metaphor, still in clumsy English, would be
"Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a President in the White House."

Separately, now that the hacking accusation against NK has fallen apart, the Experts have turned blame to Our Official Enemy Russia, which makes more sense for the careers of the Experts. Russia is now Officially blamed for everything.
Interesting comparison between Cold War 1 and Cold War 2. In CW1 Russia and America were mutual enemies at some levels, but our Experts were careful to avoid blaming Russia for anything. Even when KGB killed Kennedy, the Experts had to deflect the blame to "Texas right-wingers led by the Hunt Brothers". (Equiv to "Koch Brothers" in today's currency.)
Now in CW2 the party alignment of both sides has changed. USA STRONG is the Soviet side and Russia is the Christian or "right-wing" side. But the Experts have NOT changed. Experts were Soviet then and they're Soviet now. Experts are STILL blaming "right-wingers" for everything, but now their job is easier because the "right-wingers" are in the opposing country.
