Things are about to get interesting...

His twenty-something son is inexperienced. He hasn't had nearly enough "grooming time" to be ready to take the position of "Dear Leader". He will either make a fatal mistake to break the long-standing armistice, or the country will rip itself apart over internal disputes.

kim

the son kim jong un succeeds anyway, not much of a change in N.Korea

[AllanH]

Sad. Hope the next leader keeps his calm as well as Kim Jong Il in face of imperialist provocations. They have nukes and some other serious shit too.

[ABW]

Sad? Whatever... The only sad thing about this is the loss of business Hennessy will now suffer because of this sickos demise...

The only thing worse than a tyrannical dictator.................is a tyrannical dictator who is trying to prove himself

N Korea hs already began launching 3 short range missile tests this morning. Shits about to get intiresting.

We know very little about KJI's son who is poised to take power other than that he speaks english and german and was educated in europe. The problem is that he hasn't solidified his position yet and his father passed too soon. Many fear a military coupe will happen because of this. My guess is that the kid starts rallyign the poeple around war with S Korea and doe s alot fo posturing in the form of nuclear tests etc.

Also of note is that he most likely died a few days ago, likely on the 17th. N Korean media went black a few days ago which is widely believed by analysts to mean that he died and they had waited a few days before reporting it.


For anyone who has not read it, please read "The Aquariums of Pyongyang" by someone who escaped N Korea after being in a concentration camp from the age of 9. It is such an amazing tale and really gives you insight into just how weird living in N Korea is like. Near the end of the book he escapes to china and is absolutely amazed that the world is a completely different place than he had been lead to believe.
