Former NBA star Dennis Rodman recently took a bizaare "goodwill trip" to North Korea, to visit its dictator Kim Jong Un, who is a huge basketball fan. Rodman came back from the tour of the isolated country singing the praises of Un, treating him like an old buddy whose evil deeds just didn't matter.
This goodwill tour did nothing to thaw relations with the United States, as shortly thereafter Un began making threats to pre-emptively strike the U.S. with nuclear weapons, and withdrew from the peace treaty which ended the Korean War. The U.N. (including China) has condemned and further sanctioned North Korea as a result, fearing instability in the region, as his weapons are more likely to disrupt Southeast Asia than reach North America.
Kim Jong Un, "YOU ARE THE MAN!"
