Bill 1,788 Posted April 25, 2020 Speculation is rife about the health (death) of the above. The suggestion is that he has had a heart attack like his father Kim Jung ill, and is in a coma, or dead. If he is dead then what happens will undoubtedly be a concern for us all. The internal squabbling between various factions for who succeeds, is also a struggle for gains control of the nuclear weapons. Normally this might be a time when the west would look to force a complete regime change and 'free' the country. But with the unknown factor of how many in NK are infected with the virus it is not a place to be slugging it out with an enemy at close quarters, to them or the civilian population. If he is dead how many NKs might see this as an opportunity to flee the country, with might be an unknown variant of the virus. Not the time for any volatility in any region - but this is one where the possibility has been steadily increasing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,131 Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) I'm not defending the guy, but at the very bare least he didn't seem to be eager to use his countries nuclear weapons. Better the devil you know and all that. At least this guy seemed somewhat sane, I'm damming him with faint praise but he wasn't exactly Hitler. Who knows what the next lunatic they coronate will be like. They could be a legitimate psychopath with a Nuclear arsenal at their fingertips. They could also be an improvement I suppose, but we all know what that regime the chances of that are slim to nil.
