I guess the cheese loving dough boy was not up to snuff compared to granddad and pappa. I wonder if something analgous to de-Stalinization will occur in the future.

That’s good, I’m tired of the Kims, we need us a Jang!

[Cementjungle]

I guess executing all your senior officers and their families isn’t a great way to make friends.

He’s either dead or detained somewhere. The military might be looking for a new dictator.

And here I thought Un Hung Lo was next in line....

It would be just fine with me if KJU ended up getting the Ceaucescu treatment in the near future.

I have a feeling that, if and when North Korea is ever opened up, we’re going to find that it has been the closest thing to a biblical Hell man could create on this earth.

He’s laid up and out of commission with gout. So, he can’t go out and point at things. That’s the key to controlling a totalitarian state, pointing at things. They all do it.

[PGR88]

China is tired of his antics and wants a more reliable puppet state

If a coup has happened, china is behind it

attended by several elite exiles,

Sounds like a club 0bama needs to join.

Only elite exile I ever liked was Rick Blaine.

[M Kehoe]

Maybe the Norks will now become civilized and join S. Korea so their citizens won’t starve to death?

Nah...

Is there another member of the Kim Il-Sung, Kim Jong-Il, Kim Jong-Un dynasty that could step up to become the new Dear Leader if Kim Jong-Un is disabled or dead? Do the NorKs have a succession plan? Or, will there be a free for all within the party as members struggle for the top slot? No one knows and that is why this could be a very dangerous time for the area. Who has control of the NorKs nukes and bio/chem weapons?

When he started killing off his own relatives, everyone else in high places saw themselves as likely to be shot too. No one is going to sit by and let that happen with no reaction.

[UCANSEE2]

IMHO, Kim Jong-Un is very ill and under the care of a doctor from the US.

Everything is on lockdown until they see if he dies or not.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ‘has illness’

Kim Jong Un hasn’t been seen for weeks and no one is quite sure why

[Stevenc131]

I guess tying folks to posts and dropping mortar shells on their heads failed to improve morale?

[tumblindice]

Nice jahoobies! Someday I'm gonna have to have a long talk with that boy.

Here is my cynical take:
Kim’s illness is a ploy. See who says something like when will he croak and things get better. Surprise, Kim miraculously recuperates, and a new purge is on!
It has happened before when Kim Jong Il was ill. Flush out the disloyal ones and off to the camps.

[Obadiah]

They ran out of Twinkies!!!

[Billthedrill]

He isn't sick, he's just ronery. That can get to a feller, even an apotheosis of animal sexuality such as Kimmy.

It's good advice that if you have a dictatorship to run, don't start executing your staff, but if you do start, don't stop.
