Watch Kim Jung Il line up all the Malaysians he can and begin executing them on video, one by one.

The USA is about to build a new FOB in Malaysia.

Like Saddam:

HUMAN SHIELDS..??

Very escalating.

Hostages is a better description. If the murderers are convicted, they’ll either throw the Malaysians in one of their own prison camps or demand a trade.

Why would someone want to visit NK in the first place?

How many people does that affect? 2?

News reports say that there are 11 Malaysian in N. Korea. I suppose most of them are embassy personnel and their families.

N. Korea objected to Malaysia doing an autopsy on their leader’s half brother after his murder. I think they said the women sprayed him with something and then he died. Hostages may also be to prevent Malaysia from publicizing the results.

It was his half brother, not an uncle, and he has been trying to have him killed for years. And yes, Kim Jong-un is totally weird. Is this a ploy to rescue the murderers who apparently are in custody in Malaysia? Or to get them back so they don’t reveal other spying type details regarding N. Korea’s activities.

Part of autopsy results had been already made public:

(1) What killed him (VX)
(2) Which part of the body it was found (eyes, and ears)
(3) His health condition at the time of death(high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart condition. He carried medication for those conditions in his bag.)
(4) His tattoo on his front torso (covering area from belly button to up to his chest. It was a drawing of a fisherman and koi’s, a common Japanese motif.)

By now, all interested states probably had their own copy of full autopsy results. I doubt that other parties were never involved in forensic analysis of his body. Malaysians probably double or triple checked their result by consulting other experts outside their country.
So it may be too late for N. Koreans to stop it.

North Korea guaranteed the safety of Malaysians banned from leaving the country, Malaysia’s prime minister said Thursday, as two Malaysian U.N. employees left the isolated state in a possible sign that diplomatic tensions had begun to settle.

The 2 are working for U.N.’s World Food Programme. NK show their gratitude for free food?

NK probably wants the matter to be between NK and Malaysia. They do not want to drag UN into the mix.

Very likely.

South China Morning Post (Alibaba):

There are close to 1,000 North Koreans in Malaysia, almost all of whom are based in Cyberjaya, the multimedia super corridor adjacent to the administrative district of the Malaysian government (Putrajaya). These workers, who masquerade under various covers, are thought to have been sent abroad by Elite Bureau 121, Pyongyang’s cyberwarfare agency – indeed, they represent about 10 per cent of the bureau’s overseas manpower.

Given the possibility of a further assassination, he has not yet been able to retrieve his father’s body from the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital – though he has appeared on Youtube to confirm that the body is that of his father.

He must do this within one hundred days of his father’s death, on February 13, or his absence will imply the breach of filial piety. Pyongyang would paint him as cowardly, lacking moral fibre and unsuited to leadership.

Jong-nam’s son may be next target, ex-N Korean envoy warns

It is a reach to believe that not retrieving Kim Jong-nam's body in 100 days will tarnish his legitimacy. Nobody will blame him if assassins are lurking to kill him as soon as he appears to claim the body.

Hansol can turn this around to attack Kim Jong-un, claiming that he is anxious to see his father but his uncle Kim Jong-un is trying to steal his body and also threatening to kill him, depriving him of carrying out basic moral responsibility as his son.

If Kim Jong-un wages a war of morality and legitimacy, he will lose. There are others in the family who have better blood-line, and better morals. Kim Jong-un himself is not really respected in his country, even though he is truly feared.

Having said that, I don't see him backing down. It is not his style.

The truly scary scenario about N. Korea at this point, which will blindside everybody, is not a military conflict. It is a freak accident such as reactor explosion in N. Korea (on a scale comparable to Fukushima disaster,) spewing radioactive materials in every direction, threatening all neighboring countries as well as N. Korea. From that point on, everybody will be racing against clock, but it is likely that Kim Jong-un would resist any attempt by outsiders to contain it even if it is clear he cannot. It is a situation where everybody will lose control. Nobody will have the slightest idea what will happen next.

Yes, an accident can happen at Yongbyon. As it is loaded with radioactive fuel it is very difficult to take it out without radioactive contamination, but it is not impossible, although very unlikely. On the other hand all surrounding buildings, roads etc can be destroyed.

Compare the situation with the Syrian rector:

Ex-CIA director: I was sure if we didn’t strike Syria’s nuclear reactor, Israel would
Gen. Michael Hayden provides an inside look into the attack that stopped Assad's nuclear ambitions in their tracks. From that fateful moment when Meir Dagan entered his office with photos of the reactor, through the clash between the Mossad director and the CIA’s analysts, who feared an all-out-war with Syria, to the secret meeting at Bush’s residence in which Hayden announced: ‘Mr. President, the Syrians are building a nuclear reactor, and it is part of a weapons program.’

According to Jeffrey Lewis:

North Korea Is Practicing for Nuclear War
North Korea isn’t testing its missiles. It’s preparing for a nuclear first strike.

In recent years, however, North Korea has started launching Scuds and No-dongs from different locations all over the damn country. These aren’t missile tests, they are military exercises. North Korea knows the missiles work. What the military units are doing now is practicing — practicing for a nuclear war.

North Korean defectors have claimed that the country’s leaders hope that by inflicting mass casualties and destruction in the early days of a conflict, they can force the United States and South Korea to recoil from their invasion. While U.S. officials usually bluster that Kim would be suicidal to order the large-scale use of nuclear weapons, it’s obvious that a conventional defense didn’t work for Saddam Hussein or Muammar al-Qaddafi when they faced an onslaught of U.S. military power. That was suicide. Of course, that’s where those North Korean ICBMs come in: to keep Trump from doing anything regrettable after Kim Jong Un obliterates Seoul and Tokyo.

Perhaps it is time to take them out.
