Kim Jong-un ordered the public execution of a high-ranking army officer – for giving his troops extra rations of food and fuel.
Lieutenant General Hyon Ju-song was pumped full of 90 rounds fired by nine military death-row convicts who made up the firing squad.
He was put to death after being found guilty of charges of abusing authority, profiting the enemy and engaging in anti-Party acts.
Reports suggest he was shot at the firing range of the Kang Kon Military Academy located in the Sunan District of the capital Pyongyang.
Leftists love to shoot people.
Unrest in the ranks. The military smells coup. Fatboy has to cover his 6.
So they give the guys on death row loaded guns?
Was this run through an online translator?
>> pumped pull of 90 rounds... ....profiting the enemy
Trump should be taking notes on military reform.
“Soldats! Faites votre devoir! Droit au cœur mais épargnez le visage. Feu!”
(Soldiers! Do your duty! Straight to the heart but spare the face. Fire!)
(Joachim Murat’s last words.)
The U.S. Government had better verify everything Kim Jong Un does these next few years.
I wonder what signal he was sending us when he shot his General.Or was he just trying to insure he’s to be seen as the absolute ruler of North Korea.
If Kim follows through on the meeting with President Trump, thousands of NK military folk will be looking for new jobs.
They might see this coming...
When we won in Iraq, huge numbers of Saddam’s soldiers were suddenly out of work. So they were hired by the Iranians and other outside powers to conduct an insurgency against the US. It was the only job available.
Daily Mail needs to use their spell checker more often.
There was a time that we accepted all of these stories at face value, but one never knows, any more.
In order for North Korea to change for the better, one ruler must have complete authority to see that change takes place.
We enforce discipline a bit different in these United States. It takes several years to bring traitors to justice. Meanwhile, many of our seditious government employees and press plot to take down our legitimately elected government by any means.
Every new day is a learning experience.
“Pour encourager les autres...”
Political liberalization in China - the myth sold to the sheeple in the west - has never happened, and it will not happen in North Korea no matter what economic reforms take place. Marxist tigers cannot change their stripes. They can cover them up, but the reality is always there.
Murat had panache.
Was he shot before or after the meeting with Trump? After the crying kid pictures, it’s always good to know when, before letting a story influence an opinion.
On an unrelated note I saw a story yesterday that Trump has cooled on Mattis. They were never warm to begin with but increasingly Mattis is going the way of Tillerson with borderline insubordination.
Most General officers do act like mini dictators even more so for combat officers. In their realm of rule, they are the absolute authority, once you experience that life it is hard to conform otherwise.
