Perhaps 1,423 Posted April 26, 2020 Articles about Kim Jong-Un are generating an insane amount of clicks for ad-infested media sites that it's not worth sharing really. I'm not wasting anymore brainpower on this until NK address the situation directly or the BBC jump on the bandwagon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,170 Posted April 27, 2020 Worst case scenario for the world is Kim survives and is conscious but in a state whereby it's clear his life expectancy is dramatically reduced. In such a scenario he might just go for broke with his nuclear missiles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CastAway 488 Posted April 27, 2020 Have a stinking suspicion the next people in line are either consolidating factions or being killed by the sister. Maybe both. Might take a week or 2 for reality to come to light, esp if he's alive + brain dead and they're waiting on him to cark it and/or "mercy" kill him so stuff can move forward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, maybe we get to see one of those old-school Stalinist purges in real time (and, luckily, from afar). There was also a rumour that it's not the sister, but the uncle who took over. He sort of felt pushed aside by Kim Jong-Il (?), the middle one. Was basically exiled as ambassador, but also very ambitious. I would find it funny, if we get a Caligula situation. Basically everyone gets killed except a lone male family member who is generally regarded as harmless and thoroughly uninterested in politics. So just like Emperor Claudius, we might get Kim Jong-Un's apolitical brother as the new leader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiesa52 132 Posted April 28, 2020 This showed up just a few minutes ago- it's the Daily mail- are they reliable at all? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8256791/China-sends-medics-North-Korea-amid-claims-Japanese-media-Kim-Jong-vegetative-state.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR2C2YpL1WwRUEouUk79x4DtGxpl2nCQsGXYf3vr9oh5rQSwpO1CDHySazE Japanese media claims he is in a vegetative state- I agree with some of the above posters, there is probably some massive power struggle going on there whether he is alive or dead!
