you asked, I will give a response why I have a negative view of the President's Foreign Policies. I don't think Kim has been in authority that long. As far as the past incidences, I don't think any occurred under his leadership with the exception of a nuclear test.
I find it very hard the North Korean military establishment would boast about their military successes and try to hide others. I understand during the incident with the South Korean ship exploding, at first the South Korean's denied North Korean involvement but later did an about face. At the same time this ship exploded, they were also doing joint exercises with the U.S. military. The only people had access to the wreckage were their military authorities. I find it very hard to believe a North Korean sub could have slipped into an area undetected while joint exercises was ongoing.
Any country's leader as commander in chief, whose country is in a state of War with its enemies would take necessary steps for national security, including food rationing. It is no different than any competent commander would do if your adversaries use economic policies as means to strangle your economy. The internet can also be used as a means for foreign propaganda. An intelligent leader can see right through this strategy.
What an intelligent leader would do is try to make contact to the adversary through an intermediary, such as one not associated with past intermediaries attached to the past Government. Instead it was ridiculed mostly by people who didn't want to see the contact iniated. That is the biggest problem I have with Barrack Obama as President. He is mostly controlled by a rightwing Congress, instead of having direct talks with the enemy for an opening to end the stalemate. The Korean leader has no other alternative but to improve North Korea's military capabilities and not worry about China or Russia either. If I was the commander in chief, those are the steps I would take.
