North Korea announced Thursday it had executed the uncle of leader Kim Jong Un, declaring him a traitor who tried to overthrow the state.
The announcement came only days after Pyongyang announced through state media that Jang Song Thaek -- long considered the country's No. 2 power -- had been removed from all his posts because of allegations of corruption, drug use, gambling, womanizing and leading a "dissolute and depraved life."
State news agency KCNA said a tribunal examined Jang's crimes, including "attempting to overthrow the state by all sorts of intrigues and despicable methods with a wild ambition to grab the supreme power of our party and state."
The report called him "a traitor to the nation" and "worse than a dog."

And it all started at Thanksgiving dinner with an argument about a stuffing recipe. So sad.
He got Trotskyd so now he’s Un-Jang Song Thaek.
You misunderstand. It’s not a comment on the dog as a pet. “Worse than a dog” in those parts could even mean “dog,” but it would be, for instance, with no seasonings or totally undercooked.
:o) ..... Nice !
Sliced his head off.
Remind me never to complain about the House of Tudor again, or the Roman Emperor Nero. ;’)

Kim Jong-un’s Aunt Helped Purge Her Own Husband in North Korean Treachery

North Korea is not an orthodox Communist regime.
The ruling ideology is Juche - self-reliance. Its basically Korean nationalism mixed up with dynastic fascism.
Nowhere are the traditional orthodox tenets of Marxism-Leninism upheld.
It would be too embarrassing in a country that worships the sole ruler as an absolute demi-god. Communist countries nominally have collective leaderships subordinated to the Party.
In North Korea the Party and every facet of national revolves around the Sun of the Dear Leader whose final word is absolute law.
I see what you did there. +1.
They have never really been "self-reliant" with massive subsidies from the Soviets and some moderate support from China afterwards.
or as Wiki says
Songun did not appear as an official government policy until after Kim Il-sung's death in 1994, however. In 1995, "military first" policies were introduced as "a revolutionary idea of attaching great importance to the army" and as "a politics emphasizing the perfect unity and the single-hearted unity of the party, army and the people, and the role of the army as the vanguards"[3][dubious – discuss] in the wake of Kim Jong-il's first military unit visit for that year. This was a slight shift from the government's previous guiding policy, Kim Il-sung's juche, or self-reliance policy.[4]
Now we know why Auntie was so quiet
ETTUJANGSONGTHAEK
I’m sitting here with Mrs. Jrzguy, and she told Jungu is the equilevant “ f off world, we don’t need you.”
Mrs. Jrzguy was ms.hotchickfromsouthkorea before she married me. I am a lucky guy.
She is emotionally invested in n Korea, she believes our kin is stuck above the 48.
Uncle’s famous last words in front of the firing squad: “Uh, tough crowd!”
does she have a sis.... I mean I sure hope everything works out for her kin in N Korea.
I thought Koreans liked dog: grilled, barbeque, stir fry...whatever.
Get him off the stage.
The guy on the right too.
