North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un Climbs Mt. Paektu

International Business Times: North Korea's 130kg leader's spotless black shoes untouched after he 'climbed' to the top of 2,777m mountain

He reportedly climbed Mount Paektu which is of spiritual significance.

It is the kind of hike that would take a fit mountaineer hours and would require a strong pair of lungs as well as specialised footwear.

But that apparently wasn't required for Kim Jong-Un, who according to North Korea's state media managed to walk "through thick snow" to get to the top of the 2,777m Mount Paektu, even if his spotless leather shoes suggested otherwise.

It is an apparent remarkable return to form for the leader whom international reports do not exactly paint as being a picture of health.

WNU Editor: These videos and pictures remind me of the stories that my father told me about Stalin and how life was like living under that tyrant. How as school children .... even during the Ukraine famine of 1932-1933 where everyone was hungry .... at the beginning of class he and everyone else had to stand up and say thank-you to Comrade Stalin for taking care of them and for feeding them. My guess is that many North Korean children are doing the exact same thing today. But instead of Stalin, it is Km Jong-un.

Plus ca change, plus c'est le meme chose. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
