North Korean leader Kim Jong-un executed an army general last month following a difference of opinion as part of his latest purge of senior government officials.

Gen. Pyon In Son, head of operations in the Korean People’s Army, was killed for disagreeing with the “Supreme Leader,” a South Korean official told reporters in Seoul Wednesday, but did not make clear what the two disagreed on, Bloomberg reported.

The guy was a four star general. Straight of the Stalinist purges.

No further argument. Case solved.

I wish I could simply execute those who disagree with me.

Although I’d rarely use my power, superior moral being and all-around nice guy that I am. ;-)

Kim Jong Un felt ronery.

When you cross ronery Kim, you might lose your head.

[Dilbert San Diego]

But of course. Disagree with dear leader, the penalty is execution. That’s how totalitarian countries work.

I cannot believe the NK military hasn’t taken this buffoon out by now.................

In his last moments, I’ll bet he wished he had just gone ahead and put the cream in his coffee...

The Red Army never took out Stalin.

True...........It makes you wonder how much of this stuff they will take before someone says, “This must end!”..............

Stalin purged almost the entire Soviet high command to ensure unquestioning loyalty.

Kim is following the same tack with the North Korean armed forces.

Needs to happen in real life.

At least he was not thrown to the dogs.

What kind of dog to have for lunch.

Does the haircut make the Dear Leader look like a dork...

[C19fan]

I bet Kim like his dad and grandpa play the generals off each other. This guy gets bumped off but now some other ambitious general gets another star with all the privileges that come along with it to take his place.

Obama wishes he had this kind of power.

“No further argument.”

They met at the urinal. And it had something to do with endowment.

Its an absolute monarchy.

It has nothing in common with conventional Marxism-Leninism.
