Coronavirus, worthless oil, our worst mass shooting and now a possibility of a rouge nuclear state being leaderless.

That’s troubling. His succession was as bloody as most coups are with execution of top generals by anti-aircraft artillery...
A smooth transition of power I do not anticipate.

Fun time to be in Seoul or Tokyo.
I had to laugh:

Hmm, if he dies, that should be a good fight between his wife and their child( ren) (oldest is reportedly 10), his older brother (who Kim Jong Il reportedly thought was too much of a wimp to lead), his sister (who is said to be a real monster), and whichever generals think it would be better to try to take power themselves than get purged if they pick the wrong side out of that mess.

I think he killed most of his family. I am not sure there is an apparent successor.

Yeah, I believe all uncles and brothers are now dead during his ‘transition’ the possibility of a civil war for power would be very high here.

Another “heart attack”? Couldn’t have happened to a nicer psychotic dictator.
Always wondered what would happen if mini kim had an "accident". Maybe we will get to find out.

Or Trump says fuck it and decides to send it.

I’m not a fan of hearing about Kim Jong Un about to kick the can.
On the one hand, it’s an opportunity for chaos in North Korea that could require an intervention (which could finally break the stalemate ever since the armistice); on the other hand, the risk that they might fire off a nuke is pretty decent.
There are a lot of possible scenarios, but the one I’m hoping for will involve the top generals making a power play for control and oust the Jongs. That’s probably the better angle, unless Kim Jong Chol or the sister takes absolute control, but I’d rather not see either one of them take the reins.

At least Kim has a sister, Kim Yo-jong, and their edited Constitution states succession must be by Kim’s bloodline. So she may be running the show soon.
I’m sure nothing will stop their importing Iranian nuke/missile materials.

Well...it's nothing if not entertaining.

The same thing was said a few years ago when he had a cyst on his leg removed - he wasn’t seen for a while, reappeared with a crutch., etc. This could be nothing or it could be something; with NK it’s hard to tell...

Covid-19 or not, why didn’t he have the procedure done in China?
One the other hand, his sister's status in DPRK is improving:

It really is amazing. I feel like I’ve been in lockdown for months, but it’s been...5 weeks, I guess, 6 counting the week I was laid up with the flu.
6 weeks has never felt this long before.

*checks local news*....*checks bbc*
hmmm...nothing yet.. ill wait for one of them to pick up on it before i worry about it too much
most likely they are still trying to verify...US sources arent as trusted as they used to be over here...

I typically don't go for anything not on the BBC. But by the same token, the BBC doesn't report on rumors like this until after it's been confirmed

What’s interesting to me about this story is that as of right now, none of the major news networks, neither the fake news nor the alternative fact news, are reporting this yet.

yeah...same for me local news (NOS) they arent the first to report anything...but once they do you can at least trust its been confirmed
