None Are Established    
   
   You live in the United States? You are within reach of a Kim Jong Un ICBM with a nuclear warhead. 

   The self-indulgent dictator of North Korea advanced while American leaders sought to change his nature over the past 25 years or so. Memo to us: Tyrants don't change. 

   We thought President Trump might win him over, only to see diplomacy falter.
Or did it? 

   In her book, With All Due Respect, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley describes how this woman moved the mountains of China and Russia in the Security Council to lay serious sanctions on North Korea's ability to trade. 

   Newsmakers may not be interested, but the world's most evil regime is financially weakening day by day. China can have Kim - another dictatorship - on its border, but Kim can't have nukes and thrive as before. As for Russia, it chose not to be the only nation supporting Kim. 

   Haley claims that Kim has killed at least 300 potential rivals, including family members. In NK, you support the regime, live well. You deviate in the least respect, fend for yourself, maybe face prison or death. 

   Columnist Jamie Cheaney points out that Kim's days are numbered, as are Xi Jinping's and Nicolas Maduro's. Murderous Joseph Stalin died a humiliating death, as did Mussolini. Hitler killed himself rather than face accusers - after ordering the "evidence" to be cremated. 
 

No one is established by wickedness, but

the root of the righteous will never be moved.

Proverbs 12:3

   Cheaney writes, "It was God's mercy to...limit our days on the earth; otherwise unbounded evil would have extinguished the human race long ago." 

   "Bloody dictators do tremendous damage," she notes. But they are tossed to the flames. Victims rooted in righteousness will be rewarded.
