South Korea doesn’t want instability in the North, because they would fear millions of refugees pouring across the border.

Exactly and my first thought if indeed S.Korea is claiming this...I read China put military on their border which they generally do when rumors swell as they are.

I recall Nancy Reagan insisting Reagan make a bedside televised appearance to stop the rumor-mill when he got shot. They truly had to prop him up in bed and stage it well because he was still in pretty bad shape.

I think they just realize there is no advantage to them to claim he’s dead. If they do and he turns up live then it will just embarrass them.

Agreed. He’s on life support which means “technically, alive and not dead...” Until a successor has been sorted out.

Excellent point. I’ll see you and raise you.

South Korea isn’t terribly interested in reunification because integrating backward, impoverished North Korea into their vibrant economy would be a disaster.

I read an interesting book a few years back about a North Korean defector and the hard time he had adjusting to freedom. I can’t find it just now in my reading log, but no doubt it’s still in our public library ... if it ever reopens.

I hope the fat little Rocket Man makes it. Better the devil you know.

Besides, the biggest threat to our nation’s freedom isn’t Kim, it isn’t Xi, it isn’t Putin, and it certainly isn’t a bunch of towel heads.

It’s the enemy within ... Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, AOC and their millions of brain-dead followers.

That’s the only thing that scares me just now.
