Did Kim Jong-un throw his uncle to the dogs? The troubling part is that many have not considered this just an absurd joke. Throwing someone to the dogs! Turning a bad dream in reality. Killing the metaphor by making it real.
But of course one should have recognized the joke. He only had his uncle shot by squad. Cultural misunderstanding? From the ancient Greeks, from the Romans, etc western culture is full with such killings. Not to forget eastern tradition with its Chinese and Mongol succession wars.
