“...and the military oligarchy will have to decide on a successor of their own.”
I admit to only having done occasional reading on North Korea but I can’t place where the Nork military stands politically.
They’ve obviously benefitted by the Kim family being in charge. But are the military leaders the kind that really know what a potential butt kicking they’d get in a war with us or are they even more hardcore than the Kim family?
Would the Nork military be amenable to ratcheting down things down a few notches?
But, in other news, Generalisimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

“I don’t want to find out.”
I think Laz is willing to take a chance on her though.
At least he’s still alive.
Assassinated: Jong-Nam died earlier this year after two women injected him with poison at an airport terminal in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in a suspected assassination

for now.
Amen
believe it or not, the South Koreans (the current president especially) have a lot invested in this guy, they want him alive.
Wasn’t it Kipling who wrote something about the female of the species being deadlier than the male?
It is always true that Baby Kim “lives well”. He eats more in one meal than most No. Korean peasants eat in a week.
I’ll take heart attack/cholesterol for $1,000, Alex. PLEASE!!!
LOL, thanks for the laugh.
females can be very very vicious whgen holding positions of extreme power- Bloody queen Mary who Mary burned several hundred Protestants at the stake for heresy against the Catholic Church.- Isabella I of Castile- several other bloody queens- -
Kim’s sister just has a cold dead look in her eyes- evil look- I don’t know if she’d be worse than him- but she seems like a very cold woman- I share your concern about her-
[[Wasn’t it Kipling who wrote something about the female of the species being deadlier than the male?]]
Just look at that congresswoman who suggested all men should be neutered to find the answer to who is more vicious- Whoever wrote that must have known women put in a special effort at brutality when they are given power like that because they feel they have to in order to subdue the men around them- make them afraid to question their orders-
heck, just look at whitmer in michigan- she thinks she’s above the constitution
Well. Let’s see him then.
I’d plug her.
I seem to recall a time when there were rumors about Chairman Mao’s health, and the Chinese government released a photo of him swimming in the river (Yellow River?). Of course a lot of people believed that the photo was faked (that was before the age of photoshop). Anyway, maybe the North Koreans should do something similar to lay to rest any worries about Kim’s health.
The NK apologist reds at the Guardian are so relieved their plump emperor king is alive and well
"Kim Jong-chul does not involve himself in politics, leading a quiet life in Pyongyang where he plays guitar in a band..."
First I've heard of that. So the Clapton concerts make sense.
