(Kim Jong-Un's Assassinated Half-Brother)

The morning of 13 February 2017 was like any other at Kuala Lumpur’s hectic international airport terminal so it would have been easy to miss a lone North Korean man, clad in a blue polo shirt and jeans, heading to check into his flight to Macau.

As he ambled past a column, a backpack slung over one shoulder, a woman approached him and wiped an oily substance on his face before disappearing, her unusual actions caught on CCTV. Moments later, another woman came from behind and covered his eyes with her hands. She then slid them down over his mouth, quickly apologised and walked away....(EXCERPT)

What a horrible way to die, via VX Gas smeared on the face.

Not as bad maybe as being fed alive to dogs, or put up before anti-aircraft fire and other North Korean methods, but certainly ranks up there.

I’m wondering what constitutes a “moderate” exposure, when 0.00035 oz is a lethal dose.

Close.

Dictator Josef Stalin knew well, and placed into power, his grandfather KIM IL SUNG. Of course, under that regime alone, 36,574 of our fellow Americans were killed. At least 103,000 wounded and 8,000 never came home. Yes. Runs in the blood.

True enough. Bringing this tyrant out of the shadows requires lots of carrots and some well placed sticks. Trump is just the man to do it. He has made it clear he will not be played.

Good question. Catching a whiff down wind? VX Gas was used by some in the millennium cult in Japan. The victims did not die, but seriously injured and would appear “retarded” for life. Bad stuff.

State department is awake early this morning I see. Trying to do all it can to undermine trump’s efforts in North Korea.
Beat that Hillary/Albright/neocon drum as loud as you can about everything that happened before Trump opened negotiations.

I thought that was Sarin, not that the folks that inhaled it cared about the difference.

I find it hard to believe the perpetrators got away unscathed by the nerve agent. They didn’t seem to have any protective equipment except maybe rubber type gloves.

“...to which North Korea responded by holding hostage all Malaysians in North Korea.”

Rocket Man don’t mess around.

“I find it hard to believe the perpetrators got away unscathed by the nerve agent.”

The actual agents/perpetrators probably counted on the nerve agent to take out the two woman (potential witnesses) also.

Only good thing Stalin ever did was to kill Trotsky.

Well he certainly didn't fight them in 1939, it was kind of forced on him.
