What caused North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to begin walking with a cane earlier this month? Ankle surgery, says South Korea's spy agency, as reported by Yonhap news agency on Tuesday.

Kim’s six-week absence from public events set off a frenzy of wild speculation around the world, from serious health issues to a possible coup.

Same thing with Castro and Arafat. Both brought French doctors in to tend for their illnesses.

There are no doctors left in North Korea that can remove a cyst?

ROFLMAO. Their stories are epic fairytales. They go all-in on every hand. What kind of a cyst removal takes 6 weeks of recovery?

I’m sure they removed the cyst and then took it outside and shot it.

That would be disrespectful. No, they made the cyst Minister of Foreign Affairs and a two star general.

For the same reason that some Muslim leaders have Christian body guards.

It’s a matter of trust.
