North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reportedly ordered a high ranking army officer to be executed after he was accused of giving extra food and fuel rations to troops and their families.
Daily NK reported that Hyon Ju Song, the lieutenant general of the Korean People’s Army in the country’s capital, Pyongyang, was executed by a firing squad for “charges of abusing authority and engaging in anti-Party acts.”
Hyon was reportedly a rising star in the army before his death. He served as a member of the Workers' Party of Korea's Central Committee and battalion commander under the Supreme Guard Command.
“While checking the oil supplies for the Sohae Satellite Launching Station during the comprehensive inspections of wartime supplies on April 10, Hyon stated, ‘We no longer have to suffer and tighten our belts to make rockets or nuclear weapons.’ This was seen as an abuse of authority and a treasonous statement that opposed the Party’s military-first policy,” a source told Daily NK.
The source said Hyon ordered “2,000 pounds of fuel, 1,300 pounds of rice, and 1,600 pounds of corn to military officers at the Launching Station and their families.”(continued)

dumbass.
Probably sounds horrible to say, but I kinda wish we could take care of insubordinate military leaders and others in such an expeditious manner. I suspect it would have an instant deterrent effect.
“Boy, is he strict.”
What the guy got executed for may not be the same as what they tell the public.
Watch for multiple unsubstantiated stories about NK in an attempt to derail Trump’s efforts.
mau\y have had domething to do with the man's demise."Rising stars" are under a lot of scrutiny for tendencies that might indicate they will rise too high and become dangerous to the Dear Leader.
“If that paltry amount of food makes a difference, just imagine what 10 shiploads of American pork, beef and rice would do to their morale.”
Let’s see.
So the American taxpayer flips the bill for ten shiploads of food and its transport all so that Kim Jong Un and his top brass can profit and starve his people?
Too late, deep state. Too late.
It wasn’t about the food. Guy was a “rising star” in the nork military. He was probably trying to gin up loyalty of some of the armed forces by feeding their families. Commie leaders don’t like anyone gaining popularity.
He’ll never do that again!!
It’s going to be really something then the starving Nork population realizes that there IS a Big Wide World out there, full of McDonald’s and Burger Kings, versus a meager ration of rice. Each week. If you’re lucky!
I’m not entirely convinced that PDJT doesn’t see that, too.
Problem. Solved. So Long, Rocket Man!
I’m SUCH a cynic; but after being LIED TO for pretty much my entire life by ‘MY’ Government, NOTHING would surprise me!
PDJT is shining a light on Cockroaches all over the GLOBE. Keep it up, Sir! Feet to the FIRE! MAGA!

250 gallons of fuel, and a pallet each of rice and corn.
Trump didn’t promise to make Kim nice.
Okay, General Chairborne Ranger.
Just wondering, Blue House Sue, to what does your screen name refer?
A middle name, and the color of the first ten houses I sold as a real estate agent.
Short Fat wants everyone else in country to be short.
Wow. Blue houses! Unless it’s blue grey, it always seems just not a good color for a house. But that’s just me. Guess it’s better than pink or purple.
