>This Kim has executed people by anti-aircraft gun and mortar, not sure she can be worse.
She’s a real question mark. She’s only in her mid-30’s and her husband is a relative higher-up. I think if she makes waves, she’s going to end up dead and the military oligarchy will have to decide on a successor of their own.
I don’t know if China has decided on her, because she’s a lot easier to control, but if Kim dies it’s going to send the country into chaos.
“...and the military oligarchy will have to decide on a successor of their own.”
I admit to only having done occasional reading on North Korea but I can’t place where the Nork military stands politically.
They’ve obviously benefitted by the Kim family being in charge. But are the military leaders the kind that really know what a potential butt kicking they’d get in a war with us or are they even more hardcore than the Kim family?
Would the Nork military be amenable to ratcheting down things down a few notches?
