If he and other leaders die by any means, the ones carrying out that ridiculous order will also be “dead hands”.
Kill yourselves over a dead man? Unlikely.
So if the ChiComs (or anyone else) want a nuclear war, all they have to do is wack N Korea’s dear leader.
Theatrics-
This is what they would have done anyhow.
No change.
“North Korea has formally amended its constitution to mandate an automatic nuclear strike if leader Kim Jong Un is killed or the regime’s command structure comes under attack.”
If his sister kills him does that mean the nukes will be launched at her?
Kim Jong Un is trying to Trump Proof his country under it’s present state of mismanagement.
Meanwhile, he better keep a weather eye on little sister
Kim Yo Jong. Just a glance at her, displays a face which radiates a raw, ruthless, volcanic ambition for power, just barely held in check for the time being.
North Korea doesn’t do anything without the express written consent of the Chicoms.

Another reason why Iran and other insane muslims should never be allowed to have thermonuclear weapons.
A “dead man’s switch” on commuter railways usually electric- is a switch which the engineer must keep pushed forward for the train to roll. It it designed, if the hand pressure is removed (for any reason while engaged, especially if the engineer collapses/strokes out/heart attack, whatever).
It is to prevent runaway trains from killing all the passengers and those in stations encountered in excess speed.
ONLY a crazed cult dictatorship Communist use of a “dead man switch” would actuate launching of indiscriminate or prior targeted nuclear weapons. This is lunatic. Crazy.
And, point of order— it is inviting de-nuclearization of these clowns— with or without taking out the “hairdo” fat boy and his looney sister. China would have to approve this— to set up the Norks forever as a death partner.
The phrase “N. Korean constitution” is a self-contradiction.
Obese and a heavy smoker. A heart attack brings death to every doctor in the country I would imagine.
The only thing I find shocking here is that they didn’t already have this established in their laws. I always operated under the assumption that they did.
This is assuming that the people left in power are as crazy as he is.
What if north korea people assassinate him? They nuke their own country?
Or is the system so stupid it always just assumes certain countries did it?
