Fair comment indeed. There is no necessity for the child of a narcissist to be one too. The responses are diverse. I said "it is not unusual" but even that may be too strong a claim. I think it is a possible outcome though and that will suffice for this thread.
It's a shell game. NK is a gulag of China and operates as a deterrent to Chinese people who think the pace of change moves too slowly. In return NK hosts Chinese Intel and expertise in predatory actions that the Chinese can claim plausible deniability to have sanctioned. Meanwhile Kim's there to provide "theatre".
1. First of all, there is the fact that the attackers only brought up the anti-North Korean bias of “The Interview” after the media did—the film was never mentioned by the hackers right at the start of their campaign. In fact, it was only after a few people started speculating in the media that this and the communication from North Korea “might be linked” that suddenly it did get linked. My view is that the attackers saw this as an opportunity for “lulz”, and a way to misdirect everyone. (And wouldn’t you know it? The hackers are now saying it’s okay for Sony to release the movie, after all.) If everyone believes it’s a nation state, then the criminal investigation will likely die. It’s the perfect smokescreen.
2. The hackers dumped the data. Would a state with a keen understanding of the power of propaganda be so willing to just throw away such a trove of information? The mass dump suggests that whoever did this, their primary motivation was to embarrass Sony Pictures. They wanted to humiliate the company, pure and simple.
