North Korea Grants Kim Jong Un Sole Authority Over Nuclear Weapons in Charter

"The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I've just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away." -Grand Moff Tarkin

It's good that they have taken these positive steps so that some crazy person can't get their hands on the nukes. Nice and safe now.

wait ur telling me he didnt have the sole authority before?

*From Bloomberg News reporter Shinhye Kang:* North Korea has amended its constitution to formally give leader Kim Jong Un sole authority over the country’s nuclear arsenal, according to South Korean lawmakers briefed by Seoul’s spy agency. For the first time, North Korea’s constitution explicitly stipulates that full control over the country’s nuclear weapons rests with the State Affairs Commission chairman — a position held by Kim, according to ruling party lawmaker Park Sun-won, and Lee Seong-kweun of the opposition. The role “was strengthened to consolidate Kim Jong Un’s one-man leadership system,” the lawmakers said. “Various checks on the Chairman were removed, and authority over nuclear weapons use was delegated to the Chairman.”

He's literally dictator. Obviously he will have Sole Authority

Nobody outside of North Korea has ever expected anything other than a supreme dictatorship. Nobody expects NK to have committees or even serious console.

Does that mean if he spontaneously explodes nobody else is allowed to use them? 

This is the same as the US, isn’t it? The President has sole discretion to use nuclear weapons.

In reality, authority rests with China because there’s no way they will ever allow their buffer zone on their doorstep to become a nuclear wasteland

Trumps personal hero.

At this point, I'd trust Little Rocket Man over the Great Pumpkin.

does this even change a thing?

Big if true

Yeah it was that pesky piece of paper that was the immense barrier that was stopping him from doing whatever the f*** he wanted. These dictators sure like to pretend like they are the biggest upholders of the law as it is written.

Oh, fk, don't tell Trump. He is far to easily bamboozled already.

So if Kim goes out in an air strike, North Korea won’t retaliate with a nuclear attack?

More ammo for other lunatics to demand sole control and their stupid base will likely grant it

Funny how NKs nukes faded from the far rights narrative so quickly. Almost as if the didn't care.
