The kid is a total enigma. Nobody in the West even knows his exact age! But it's unlikely he's calling all the shots at this point, since he doesn't have the experience to run a country. His uncle is most likely running things behind the scenes for now. But who knows? Even the South Koreans don't know what to expect at this point. But I like the fact that North Korea is allowing in delegations from the South to pay their respects to Kim, and the South is allowing a limited number of private delegations to go. And Seoul made a statement expressing sympathy for his death, which they did not do when his father died. Those types of gestures can go a long way toward thawing relations. I don't want to read too much into it, but it may just be that they're "getting off on the right foot" with the new regime.
