Speculation about health builds after Kim misses key event honouring country’s founder, Kim Il-sung...

Kim Jong-un underwent heart surgery earlier this month and is recovering at his private villa, according to a South Korean report, with US media citing officials as saying the North Korean leader was in “grave danger” after the procedure.

If accurate, the surgery claim, made by the Daily NK website, would explain Kim’s absence from an event to mark the anniversary of the birth of his grandfather – and the country’s founder – Kim Il-sung.

Kim Jong-un underwent the procedure at a hospital in the county of Hyangsan on the country’s east coast on 12 April, according to the Seoul-based Daily NK, which is run mostly by North Korean defectors.

How would you like to be that surgeon? Fail to clean out the cheese curds in the aorta and you and your family disappear into a dungeon for the rest of your miserable existence.

I’ve been out of the loop today away from civilization and when I check in Lil Dong may be dead and Trump suspends immigration. I think I’ll disappear again and who knows what good things will happen?

Welcome to FR.

That said, the current buzzing from the left is interesting as they seem genuinely worried that Kim ma be off the board.
The left has yet to meet a dictator they didn’t like or worship.
(Look to their fawning over Gorbachev in years past.)

Any thoughts on this?

Just saying...

Nobody loved those old Russian Commies better than Ted Kennedy. Boy he just thought those old butchering Bolsheviks were the bee’s knees.

Can’t Kim do his own heart surgery with a mirror? I mean the guy hit 18 holes in one the first time he golfed. He must be slipping.

Interesting that North Korea TV is not on yet. Should be on by now.

Those masks (in a country without any cases-wink/wink) was what attracted me to this pic.

North Korea has private villas? Or just the one?

Do they have any Jewish doctors there? Sounds like something that happened to Stalin 70 years ago.

Yup.

He did, even begged them to interfere in our elections.

But I still recall the media “Gorbasms” in the past as well.

Yeah. And isn’t there something about him jumping in the cockpit of a fighter jet and just zooming off?

Hmmm. If he bites it (or already has), who takes his place? Is there an established line of succession, or will there be a battle for the throne?
