“The ministry said the spy agencies in June 2014 “ideologically corrupted and bribed” a North Korean citizen who had been working in Russia to carry out the alleged assassination on Kim after returning home.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Making this all the more bizarre. This occurred in 2014 according to the ministry!! Why this now? An attempt to stay relevant in the tit 4 tat game??

Like I said. Bizarre, *but* not unexpected.

Check Anthony Weiner’s emails from Huma and see if the CIA was really planning this hit.

Naaah. It's the usual overwrought news writing in NK.

So, Jung Un ripped one in public that was so foul that it scared the people around him. To come up with a cover (obviously couldn’t use “It was the dog.”), he claimed a CIA gas attack.

North Korea has claimed that the aim was to kill Mr Jong-un during a public event in Pyongyang.

This may come across as a bit picky to most here, but I have kind of a thing about sloppy journalism. No writer should be on the job if he/she can’t do even the most rudimentary research. And an editor on the job more than a week should never let such bad writing pass. The man’s name in this context is KIM, not Jong-Un. That would be like calling Trump Mr. Donald John. Typos I can understand, but this is beyond that, and it has to be embarrassing to any Asians reading the article.

Death by burrito farting to death isn’t a chemical attack.

Or, is the CIA just setting Fat Boy up to look paranoid and unstable? How deep can they go?

Went to the BBC site and read the complete but lengthy explanation the No. Koreans wrote to promote their suspicions. The way the article was written, their choice of words to explain their position, it all sounded like someone writing for a newspaper back in the 1800’s. Paranoid people, that’s for damn sure and they have good reason to be concerned, that loose cannon, “Imperial Leader” needs killin!

send target cords or lase for indirect fires (air delivered most likely)

Air is direct fire.

Kim was present at the latest rally in Pyongyang, but he didn’t speak (as would have been usual).

I have wondered since then if he was using a “double”, who didn’t speak because his voice would have given him away.

If so, then maybe the real Kim is afraid to show himself in public?

So...we’re potentially one bad kimchi away from a Korean War. Strange and dangerous times.
