Kim Jong-in wants to see Trump as president and will not be friends with the Russian Federation-a diplomat-intervals from the DPRK

Ambassador to Cuba Lee Il Guu is the highest -ranking defector that has left North Korea since 2016. He met with Kim Jong-in-face seven times. Former diplomat Lee Il Guu, who worked in Cuba, fled with his family to South Korea last November. He met Kim Jong-in-face and is convinced that the North Korean dictator is ready to kill all 25 million inhabitants of his country to ensure his survival. Kim also wants to see Donald Trump as president. The BBC writes about it.

According to Lee, the return of Donald Trump to the White House will be the opportunity for North Korea "an opportunity that falls every thousand years. " Lee Il Gui personally met with Kim Jong In his high status, and in his first interview he described the North Korean dictator as a pleasant smiling man. "He often smiles, often praises people. He seems to be an ordinary person. He could be a beautiful person and father, but his transformation into God made him a terrible creature," Lee said.

He has no doubt that Kim will do his best to guarantee his survival, even if it would mean killing all 25 million North Koreans. According to him, North Korea, as before, views Trump as a person who can negotiate with his nuclear weapon creation program, despite the fact that the negotiations between him and Kim Cenn in 2019 have failed. Earlier, Trump greeted relations with Kim as a key achievement of his presidency.

He said they were literally "falling in love with each other" by sharing letters. Just last month Trump said at a rally that Kim would like to see him in the White House again: "I think he misses me if you want to know the truth. " North Korea hopes that they will be able to use these close personal relationships in their interests, says Lee.

He also argues that the DPRK, as a nuclear state, will never get rid of its weapons and will probably seek to conclude an agreement to freeze its nuclear program in exchange for the abolition of sanctions from the United States. But he is convinced that Pyongyang will not negotiate honestly. Consent to freeze its nuclear program "would be a trick, 100% deception," he says, adding that it would be a "dangerous approach that would only lead to North Korea.

" Turning to the recent closer ties of North Korea with Russia, Lee says that the war in Ukraine was for Pyongyana. The US and South Korea believe that North Korea sold millions of ammunition to Moscow to support its invasion in exchange for food, fuel and possibly even military equipment. According to Lee, the main advantage of this Agreement for Pyongyan was the opportunity to continue the development of nuclear weapons.

But Lee believes that Kim Jong -in understands that this relationship is temporary and after the war Russia is likely to break relations. "North Korea realizes that the only way to survive it is the only way to eliminate the threat of invasion and develop its economy is to normalize relations with the United States.

Although the Russian Federation perhaps North Korea has a temporary rest from its economic suffering, but complete closure of the DPRK borders During the pandemic, the country and the lives of people were seriously destroyed, ”Lee notes. According to him, when the borders opened again in 2023, diplomats were asked to bring literally everything, even "toothbrushes used".

The North Korean leader requires full loyalty from their citizens, and the slightest manifestation of dissent can lead to prison. But Lee says that the years of wandering were undermined by people's loyalty. "There is no more true dedication of the regime or Kim Jong -in, there is a forced devotion when you need to be loyal or die," he says.

Recent changes are largely due to the inflow of South Korean films, dramas and music, which were imported north smuggling and which is forbidden to watch and listen.

"People look South Korean content not because they have capitalist beliefs, they just try to spend time in their monotonous and gloomy life," Lee says, but then they start asking, "Why do people live in the south of the country of the First World, whereas we are We are poor? " But Lee is convinced that there will be no revolution in the DPRK. "Kim Jong -in perfectly understands that loyalty is weakening that people develop, and that is why it enhances its reign of terror," he says.

According to him, at the end of last year, North Korea made by North Korea to abandon the long -term policy of reunification with the South became another attempt to isolate people. And it was Kim Jong -in. He says that while the past leaders of North Korea "stole people from freedom, money and human rights, Kim Jong -in stole what they had: hope.

" Outside of North Korea, much attention is paid to the health of Kim Jong -in, some believe that his premature death can provoke the collapse of the regime. But Lee believes that even Kim Jong -in dies, his place will just take another "evil leader", but not his daughter Kim Zhu E. It is The fact that the sacred pedigree of the pest, which Kima is used to justify his reign, is believed, is convey only by the male line of the family. Initially, people were fascinated by Zhu E, Lee says, but now no.

They are wondering why she went to test rockets, not to school, and wore luxurious design clothes instead of school uniform like other children. He has been living in South Korea for eight months, but while he is accompanied by a police guard and two intelligence agents everywhere. "I have lived the life of 1% of the richest in North Korea, but it is still worse than the life of a middle -class family in the south," he says.

As a diplomat in Cuba, Lee earned only $ 500 a month and therefore illegally sold Cuban cigars in China to make enough money and feed his family. When he first told his wife about his desire to escape, she was so upset that she was in a hospital with heart problems. After that, he kept his plans in secret, sharing them with them and the child only six hours before the departure of their plane. He describes it as "a game not for life but to death.

" Ordinary North Koreans, caught in desertion, are usually tortured for several months, and then release, he says. "But for the elite like us, there are only two results - life in a camp for political prisoners or executions. Fear and horror were unbearable. I could accept my death, but I could not have thought that my family ' Yu will be drawn to the Gulag, "he says, and although he was never a believer, but while he was waiting at the airport for his flight, he began to pray.

His priority is now a priority in the arrangement of a new life in South Korea and assimilation of his child in society. "This is the choice that I imposed on my family and they have agreed in silence and followed me. Now it's a debt that I will have to pay all my life," he says. Recall that Kim Jong -in recently appeared in public in a heroic image. He looked at the flooded areas, but crashed into a tree.
