Kim yo-Jong, the powerful and influential sister of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un, has launched a savage personal attack on US President Joe Biden after he signed a new nuclear cooperation deal with America’s ally South Korea.
The female Kim said that 80-year old Biden was ‘in his dotage’, calling him an ‘old man with no future’ who was unable to complete his term of office, and ridiculed his threat to destroy North Korea should it launch a nuclear strike against the US or its allies.
Beyond the war of words over nukes, however, the question that must be raised is: why does it take a leader of a brutal dictatorship to tell a truth about the President that most of the ‘free’ Western media is reluctant to even mention?
For the sad fact about Biden is that he is, in the words of British historian Niall Ferguson ‘manifestly senile’ and in no fit state to run – or rather shuffle – towards a second term in the White House, even though he has just announced that this is exactly what he is going to do.
Biden has suffered two brain aneurysms, and though his doctors regularly issue reassuring reports on his physical health, he has repeatedly refused to take or publish any tests of his cognitive ability.
