A rather obscure Bassoon 2,402 #52 Posted April 26, 2020 4 hours ago, DarkHunter said: Kim Jung Un missed another important anniversary, this one being the founding of the North Korean army. Also more and more sources are running with the story that the Chinese team sent to North Korea was to check on his health. Im guessing if he's dead then they are playing for time to choose his successor and so they can put some sort of spin out to his people and the world media. Im glad I am not part of his medical team if he did pass away. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still Waters 51,028 #55 Posted April 26, 2020 Here's a couple of snippets from today's Guardian. Quote Kim Jong-un's train possibly spotted at North Korean resort As rumours persist that ruler is in poor health, satellite images emerge showing train parked at Wonsan’s ‘leadership station’ and this from the same article. Quote Who might succeed Kim? If Kim Jong-un dies or is incapacitated, the North Korean regime would have little time to prepare for a smooth transition of power. But who might replace him? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/26/kim-jong-uns-train-possibly-spotted-at-north-korean-resort 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The death of Kim Jung Un will at minimum cause mass instability in North Korea and at worst could cause a complete societal collapse, civil war, or a regional war between both Koreas. Then there is the matter of North Korea's nuclear arsenal which would need secured if stuff goes bad. From what I have heard rumors of Kim Jung Un's death has reached Pyongyang with North Korean citizens panicking and buying up food and other supplies, if Kim Jung Un isnt dead he will have to make an appearance soon. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kittens Are Jerks 11,323 #60 Posted April 29, 2020 Kim Yo-jong has resting murder face. Still, can't understand why so many of you believe her brother is dead when there's video evidence to the contrary. At one time it was speculated (wishful thinking more than anything) that Kim Han-sol (eldest son of Kim Jong-nam, Kim Jong-un's assassinated half-brother) might one day emerge as a future leader of North Korea. His whereabouts are currently unknown, which is probably a smart move on his part. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great Old Man 1,007 #62 Posted April 30, 2020 It becomes highly more possible that Kim Jong un died. We, ROK people, worry the China's greed over North Korea. China want to take North Korea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkHunter 2,626 #63 Posted April 30, 2020 Taiwan's intelligence chief is saying Kim Jong Un is sick, he refused to elaborate on the answer by answering if it means Kim Jong Un is alive or dead citing wanting to protect Taiwan's intelligence sources inside North Korea. He did say North Korea does have contingency plans in place incase a power struggle does develop. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travelnjones 1,016 #64 Posted April 30, 2020 Conspiracy theory but I wonder if he just didn't split. Covid could have decimated enough of North Korea that the regime is no longer stable. He plunders cash and goes to be rich dude on private island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I have read and heard the story of him visiting a fertilizer production plant hasnt been independently verified from North Korean sources yet. Only thing somewhat suspicious is that North Korea did not immediately release photos with the news story. So far only rumors and speculation but I have heard some suggest it was either one of his body doubles, which he does have a few, or that its older stock images of Kim Jong Un that were not released previously. But as of now despite the North Korean claim not being independently verified it does seem like Kim Jong Un is still alive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think they want to take the land. But China does feel like having North Korea as a pawn is useful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
