Selecting leaders: In what condition age matters? Experience, capability, strength, influence, generation,...OR WHAT???

Ri Sol-Ju, the wife of leader Kim Jong-Un, was pictured accompanying him on a "field guidance trip" to an army unit. Ri is wearing a white dress with black top and next to her is a small handbag, apparently with the luxury brand's signature "D" metal tag.It was unclear whether the bag was genuine or an imitation. South Korea's JoongAng Ilbo newspaper said Wednesday it would cost 1.8 million won ($1,594) in Seoul.
The attractive and stylish young woman contrasts sharply with her husband, clad in his customary Mao-style dark suit, and with the army officers in olive drab uniforms and over sized peaked caps.
Kim, believed to be in his late 20s, took over as leader after his father and longtime ruler Kim Jong-Il died last December. The country of 24 million has suffered severe food shortages since a famine in the mid-1990s killed hundreds of thousands. UN agencies estimated last autumn that three million people would need food aid this year.
