Dang but that fella is tubby.
Makes heart surgery much more of a reality as well as a touch and go proposition.

His sister Kim Yo-jong is next in line. Like Rocket Boy she was educated in Switzerland.
She is First Deputy Director of the Propaganda and Agitation Department and travels with her brother on all his important trips.

Seemed authentic to me.

But what will matter is who China wants.
Is she China-centric enough?

If not … she’ll be lucky to live.

Are there any young Kimlings around, or is the family dynasty teetering on the edge?

I’m sure a great and glorious story will emerge about how only the strong and fearless Lil’ Kimmy could overcome such a foe. It will become a new legend.

Kim Yo-jong knows where her bread is buttered. She went to the NK military academy after she graduated in Switzerland.
That she is now as prominent in the Party, the only female member of the Politburo, is pretty much the Chinese seal of approval.
She took temporary charge of the government in 2014 when Kim Jong-un had a health “episode”.
IMVHO Kim Yo-jong is more politically astute than her brother. Probably brighter overall as well. The fact she is female has held her back so far.

The only other heirs are unknowns to the NK people.
Both China and the NK military have an interest in keeping the Kim dynasty going.
We can be sure KJU had Chinese approval when he took out his brother, though I expect they were upset with how sloppy the job was.
