Absolutely this is the start of the great tribulation.
Actually this writing in the bible has to do with the two kings of ancient Judea,
the kingdom of the North and that of the South, Judea at the time was divided.
Jws are not trained ancient historians, they are certainly commercial fear mongers though.

Sure, why not? Prophecies are like the astrology section in the newspaper; intentionally vague so you can fill in the blank with anything so it will come true.

Delightful the way the witnesses used to say Russia was the king of the north and would dominate America, the king of the south. Then the Soviet Union fell.
Thus keeping up their absolute 100% failure rate on all prophesy.

Not according to the WTS, yet. The WTS teaches that prophecy is not really understood except when it is being fulfilled or afterwards.
*** w04 2/1 p. 21 par. 13 "The Scene of This World Is Changing" ***Since Bible prophecies are often fully understood only after they are fulfilled or are in the process of fulfillment, we will have to wait and see
*** w00 3/15 p. 13 par. 12 ‘O God, Send Out Your Light’ ***Just as the apostles understood many prophecies concerning the Messiah only after Jesus’ death and resurrection, Christians today understand Bible prophecy in its finest detail only after it has been fulfilled.
*** w51 7/1 p. 399 par. 5 Release to the Captives ***There cannot be any doubt concerning these Daniel-recorded prophecies’ coming to pass in these "last days", because it is so stated. It is further established that prophecy may be understood only after it has been fulfilled or during the course of its fulfillment.

I think the word you're looking for is "dictator" of the North...North Korea, that is.
I quit trying to apply ancient prophecies about ancient kingdoms to modern times, places and events quite a while ago. I got tired of looking stupid.

Kind of makes you wonder what good such prophecy is. For example, they did not know about the golden bowls being poured out or the golden trumpets sounding in those midwest conventions until after the fact.
You would think that a decent prophecy would tell you stuff that is going to happen before the fact.
Of course, as noted before, the WTBTS is not very good at foretelling stuff in advance -

I remember growing up with all the speculation about the king of the north and south. What wasted energy.
