War of princes is heating up. Kim Jong-un, the alleged heir designate, tried to kill Kim Jong-nam several years ago when Kim Jong-nam was in Austria. That was foiled, too, alledgedly by Austrian intelligence.

There is nothing quite so dangerous as being a surplus prince.

I guess Kim Jong-nam now no longer afford to lay low and wait for the storm to pass. The storm is going after him. He has to do something.

It appears that one of the two prices has to die.

That is how a 'communist election' is done.

You got a little 'typo' there, my friend.

Wasn't sure whether you meant 'princes', or 'pricks'. Many times those two words are synonyms.

Right: Should have been “princes.”

LOL - that statement's so profound it deserves to be carved in granite and quoted for the next 5,000 years! Good job.

Oh, I cannot take credit for it. It has been being said in one form or another for the last 5,000 years.

the Jong-Un sounds like a chip off the old (psychopathic) block of the illustrious Kim family.

In Europe, they used to send the surplus royal children off to the Crusades.

Of course, those who survived were usually even more of a threat if they returned.

Kim Jong Il chose his youngest son Kim Jong Un to take over the Family Business of North Korea. Apparently Kim Jong Fredo will be sent to Cuba.
