Dennis Rodman Meets With The North Korea Leader At The Basketball Court


Report: Dennis Rodman And Kim Jong Eun Hung Out, ‘Laughed Together’ -- Washington Post

A few days into former American basketball star Dennis Rodman’s bizarre and apparently impromptu trip to North Korea, Chinese state media have reported that Rodman actually met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Eun.

The two reportedly sat next to one another during a (tied!) basketball game between North Korean players and visiting members of the Harlem Globetrotters. According to Xinhua, they “talked directly to each other and laughed” throughout the game and without an interpreter. So Kim definitely speaks English.

Rodman reportedly said, “Although relations between the two countries are regrettable, personally I am a friend of Marshal Kim Jong Un and the DPRK people.”

My Comment: I am truly surprised .... such a get-together is unprecedented .... the idea that Kim Jong Un would hang out with Dennis Rodman and speak English without a translator is something that I would never have predicted .... and I am doubly sure is also raising many an eyebrow in Washington.
