North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may be brainwashing his close daughter Kim Ju Ae, experts claimed as they were asked about her public appearances with the North Korean leader, as per a report in Voice of America.
Kim Ju Ae is supposed to be 10 years old and has been spotted at military events with her father Kim several times even standing in front of a gigantic missile Hwasong-17 ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) at a launch site. She was also seen accompanying Kim Jong Un as the North Korean leader oversaw simulated nuclear counterattack exercises on March 18.
The visits to missile zones and military events are an indoctrinating moment for her, Michael Madden, an expert on North Korean leadership at the Stimson Center said as per the report. He adds that she is probably told that the missiles guarantee the continuity of the Kim family’s power.
Michael Madden also said that Kim Ju Ae is absorbing a black-and-white manner of considering things and that South Korea and the United States are our enemies and have been our rivals for 70-plus years.
While Ken Gause, a North Korean leadership expert and director of International Affairs Group, said as per the report, There is a part of running North Korea that is very cutthroat. The less you know about how democracies run and to a certain extent, the less you know about the outside world, probably the better.
