Marshall Kim Jong Un


It was reported today that US intelligence agencies have discovered that the recently MIA Kim Jong Un has been in hospital having heart surgery. Suspicions over his whereabouts were raised after it was noticed that he was missing from some of North Koreas most celebrated anniversaries and also missing from missle testing, which he usually supervises personally.

I seldom feel this way about anyone but I don't feel the slightest bit concerned to be honest. If the worst happened to Kim, North Korea will have a new problem. There was always a smooth transition down the family line as North Korean dictators passed away. There is no current heir to the Kim dynasty as far as I know, given that his children are too young to assume power, which means there will be a power struggle when it comes time to replace him.

On tonight's news there was a claim that Kim was "brain dead". Robert has a point - it could all be scuttlebutt designed by the glorious leader's propaganda machine to try and catch the US off guard but I think that Donald Trump has more important things on his mind at the moment.

Yes he's a bit Extreme is Kim , He always comes across as a Teenager And Trump comes across as though he is losing his Marbles or has lost them. We are lucky here, Sure we have leaders that were not the best, But no really Dumb power-tripping Types that could compare to the two above. Asia is funny place and if you have ever spent a good deal of time in Asia you will notice that many people are a bit like Kim in the way they can be 30 or 40 etc ,But in many ways still be like they are 18 , This can be a very nice personality thats comes across like they have been sheltered from the world. I've always liked Asia and Ive spent lots time there and found it to be very intererting place to be .

Could be a propaganda mis information story, still Kim has never been in good health. Grosely overweight, a heavy smoker and hits the bottle a bit so anything could be possible.

Really given his track record ever since he took power could not care less.

One outcome of Supreme Leader's eventual demise might be an outbreak of sanity in North Korea, especially if they are experiencing another of their famines.

There was a report in the SMH today that suggested that Kim's baby sister, Kim Yo-Jong, might be in the running because his brothers are politically inept. In the same article it mentioned that if Kim did die there would be an exodus of refugees over the border into China. I wouldn't mind having two bob on an equal number heading through the guts of the DMZ into South Korea and that could well include border guards, who don't seem to get much more to eat than North Korean civilians.

Many Chinese/Koreans now overweight - never used to be like that.
The leader who won't tolerate 'insolent-resistance' prob.has 'Insulin-Resistance' Wink
As well as FLD - Fatty Liver Disease - also formally very rare in Asia.

In Korea many people are staving, It has huge population of starving while Kim lives the high life , Such antics. like sending the military to the schools and the collection 13 year girls for fun and games by him and the Army .... Such a Charmer !

QUOTE: Kim Jong-un is in “a vegetative state” in a coma following a botched heart operation, according to disputed reports overnight.

Reminds me of this joke ...
