POLITICS Superhuman Kim Jong Un Circling the Drain

His sister will succeed him.

 

Fourth person in a totalitarian ruled kingdom, a female to boot. Think she can hold on to power?

Perhaps 70 years of complete brainwashing by the government makes any kind of revolt impossible, I don't know, but I would think someone in the upper echelons of the party might see this as a chance to grab some power for themselves.

 

Let's sell the rebels some weapons so we can eventually kill them too

 

Sister looks like she means business. Probably killed him herself.

 

Can a woman lead the country in that culture? If anything I think she may be worse.

 

Not unusual for that family.

 

it doesn't, was just joking after you had come in with a "fake news" to the initial reports of him circling the drain.

 

Fair, but I’m never going to pass up a chance to post a pic of Trump and say FAKE NEWS.

 

Dead or not?

 

If I were a betting man, I would say yes. Or at best, in a vegetative coma until little sis kills anyone that she needs to kill to get into power and stay there.

 

Hard for me to believe they’d put a woman in power

 

Not if she's got the most influence to wipe out the most people it isn't.

 

Her ascendency has been in the works for awhile. She’s picked up a lot of titles and cred in the last several months and she’s long been her brother’s closest and most trusted advisor. Nothing would surprise me, but her trajectory has definitely been up in recent times, and not down.


And this, despite rumors - RUMORS - that she may have played some nefarious role her brother’s illness / recovery.

Some say that she is responsible for her brother’s softening, and that she is even more open to idea of western ideals.

 

I have no idea if he is dead or alive, but my gut tells me that DPRK isn’t letting these rumors persist if he’s alive & well, and that they damned sure aren’t recycling his old statements, as they’ve recently done.

This seems to be a situation that suggests chaos and not order, as you’d expect from a sudden and unexpected death, and particularly with a totalitarian regime, such as NK.

 

Nows the time to attack them. Just completely wipe them out and start over. Or better yet, just have a Korea.

 

Sure. Step 1 of that plan is to declare war on China, because that’s what an offensive military action inside NK would essentially do.

 

Good. Do it right. Go big, or go home.

 

Well, apparently not dead.

 

My god, a body double. What are they hiding?
