and that's not its etymology.

He lost me at the non-sequitur "He has no designs on expansion or moving on another country. I mean really, he can't attack any of his neighbors, who are all much more powerful than NK. His biggest concern would be a push for Korean unification."

His terms for Korean reunification is like many leaders who push for collaboration and cooperation, "line up behind me." So reunification wouldn't entail a transition government run by interim people prohibited from taking power after, say, 12 months, largely outsiders, followed by fair and free elections but reunification under the One True Leader, Himself.

I find that to be expansionist and designs on another country.
