Dead Kim Jong-Il

[Cowboy Ronnie 78]

This year has been a bad year for the traditional baddy. Osama bin Laden, Colonel Gaddafi, and Kim Jong-il all gone. Hopefully we can squeeze in the Ayatollah before the 1st January.

 

Is there an Ayatollah at the moment? I mean, a main one, running the show in Iran, like Khomeini? It all got a little confusing after he was succeeded by Khamenei. A bit like how in Lord of the Rings there was Sauron and Saruman. Except the Ayatollahs were probably eviller.

Sky News has just reported that Kim Jong-il has died!

Well done Windy for getting there first.

I said to Mrs Rotten that something major may happen overnight.

But what I want to know why we're you up at 3:10 am here in the UK to beat US, Canadian and Austrailian members?

 

I'm unemployed. I have no body clock.

I was actually in my bed about to turn off the TV when the news flash came up. I had left my laptop down stairs, so I was required to run down stairs just to ensure I posted first. It was an Olympic effort.

 

With regards the Ayatollah - I was speaking of this one: http://www.deathlist.net/?y=2011&p=485

Wow, Khameini's still Ayatollah. He needs to grow a longer beard and darken his eyes if he wants to properly put the shakes into the Great Satan. He's more like Emperor Palpatine when everyone knew he had turned bad, but wasn't yet hiding his face in a cloak.

With this area beginning to de-stabilize, i think i will start to make my 2012 predictions based on high ranking government and military officials in the Koreas and neighbouring countries !

On the weekend of the Strictly Come Dancing final we should have known we'd get hit number SEVENNNN!!!!!!!!!

Test fired missiles (as in plural) already confirmed. Just a dead pooling idea, like. Is Kim Jong-un such a blatant f***-witted loose cannon that the only sensible solution will be assassination? The country could hardly get financially poorer or more dangerous if someone saw him off. In fact, it's a debateable point whether those inside or outside the country would be more motivated to see him dead.

The man....the legend!

[sympathyforthedevil 11]

Bin Laden, Gaddafi and Kim all dead in one year.

 

All we need now is to wake up on Xmas day and hear that Thatcher has snuffed it!

He'll need to get a third season of that show approved first, which is something of an ask.

Kim Jong in some frozen void, in the Stygian darkness wandering the River of stix, gloomy with bear frozen Trees of a frozen malnourished North Korea, singing "Ronney (Loney), I'm so Ronney... I'm so Arone. I'm Roney.... I'm Ronney no one to call my own". FUCK YOU DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE SOME MORE DIE DIE FUCKING DIEEEEEEE DIE DIE DIE DIED DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE DIE DIE DIE.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you fourty-two's tribute to Kim Jong-il.

[fourty-two 1]

NORTH KOREA as we know it is over. Whether it comes apart in the next few weeks or over several months, the regime will not be able to hold together after the untimely death of its leader, Kim Jong-il. How America responds — and, perhaps even more important, how America responds to how China responds — will determine whether the region moves toward greater stability or falls into conflict.

Mr. Kim’s death could not have come at a worse time for North Korea. Economically broken, starving and politically isolated, this dark kingdom was in the midst of preparations to hand power over to his not-yet-30-year-old son, the untested Kim Jong-un. The “great successor,” as he has been dubbed by the state media, is surrounded by elders who are no less sick than his father and a military that chafed at his promotion to four-star general last year without having served a day in the army. Such a system simply cannot hold.

The transition comes at a time when the United States has been trying to get nuclear negotiations back on track. Those efforts have now been replaced by a scramble for plans to control loose nuclear weapons, should the regime collapse.

And yet Washington remains powerless. Any outreach to the young Mr. Kim or to other possible competitors could create more problems during the transition, and would certainly be viewed as threatening by China. Since Kim Jong-il’s stroke in 2008, the United States and South Korea have been working on contingency plans to deal with just such a situation, but they all thought they would have years, if not a decade.

The allies’ best move, then, is to wait and see what China does. Among China’s core foreign-policy principles is the maintenance of a divided Korean Peninsula, and so Beijing’s statements about preserving continuity of North Korea’s leadership should come as no surprise. Since 2008 it has drawn closer to the regime, publicly defending its leaders and investing heavily in the mineral mines on the Chinese-North Korean border.

But even as Beijing sticks close to its little Communist brother, there are intense debates within its leadership about whether the North is a strategic liability. It was one thing to back a hermetic but stable regime under Kim Jong-il; it will be harder to underwrite an untested leadership. For Xi Jinping, expected to become China’s president over the next year, the first major foreign policy decision will be whether to shed North Korea or effectively adopt it as a province.

All indications are that Beijing will pursue the latter course, in no small part because of a bias among its leadership to support the status quo, rather than to confront dramatic change. And yet “adopting” North Korea could be dramatic in itself. China may go all in, doling out early invitations and new assistance packages to the young Mr. Kim, conditioning them on promises of economic reform.

While some observers hope that Kim Jong-il’s death will unleash democratic regime change, China will work strongly against that possibility, especially if such efforts receive support from South Korea or the United States. Given that Beijing has the only eyes inside the North, Washington and Seoul could do little in response.

Yet even China’s best-laid plans may come apart. The assistance may be too little, too late, especially given the problems the new leadership will face. A clear channel of dialogue involving the United States, China and South Korea is needed now more than ever.

And yet such a dialogue is completely absent since Kim Jong-il’s stroke. Beijing has deflected every official and unofficial overture from Washington to have quiet discussions on potential North Korean instability. Before, China let its fears of Western interests get the better of it; wiser Chinese judgment should lead authorities to open such a channel now. The three sides should open with a conversation on all our fears about what could happen in a collapsing North — loose nukes, refugee flows, artillery attacks — and how each would respond.

With so little known about the inner workings of this dark kingdom, miscalculation by any side in response to developments inside the North is a very real possibility given the hair-trigger alerts of the militaries on the peninsula.

None of this will be easy. For China, the uncertainty surrounding North Korea comes against the backdrop of Mr. Obama’s “pivot” to Asia and assertion that the region is America’s new strategic priority. This has already created insecurities in Beijing that will make genuine dialogue with the United States even more challenging — and thus all the more necessary.

It remains to be seen if he can fill his father's shoes in the looks department.

It's now being suggested that the cause of his death was anger over a construction project going awry...
