Future of North Korea

[Artos]

Lotsa chatter KJU is gone...any thoughts on a replacement if factual?? I heard something on his sister but think she a little too pro democracy for China. Crazy times.

Trump probably killed him with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart touch when they met. Trump is so good, he had a delayed reaction built in to his technique.

Either way, good riddance.

I'm sure his sister will be taking over, they like to keep things in the family in that place.

Thanks, I'm seeing mixed 411 on the sis too...some are saying she's more psycho the he is/was. I'm sure China is pulling all the strings regardless.

It was originally reported a few days ago on CNN, so I dismissed it as their usual "sources claim" nonsense. However, seems like there's a lot more chatter going on right now with different nations.

As for the sister, Kim Yo-jong, I'm not sure how that hierarchy works over there in regards to succession of the leadership. Regardless, she'll need support of the military hard liners before assuming power.

Every site we have comes up to "lack of info" in regards to who she is. However, her eyes are the kind that stare right through you. Not crazy eyes, but more like "I will destroy your soul while sipping my morning tea and not even give it another thought."

If he is gone I forsee a power struggle amongst military and party hardliners that just may turn bloody. I simply do not see the brass accepting a woman. Her support, real or not, may be valuable enough to keep her alive and eating well.

The sister won’t be taking over, that’s CNN nonsense. She’s a zero.

Watch the older Kim...

Fascinating...the guy was/is in his 30's they guess & evil knows no bounds. No idea of the ladder structure but some are saying she is #2 in the workers party. Family feud??

FWIW

Kim Jong-un's sister 'tyrant in waiting' if illness claims her dictator brother's life:

This was my thinking. Some kind of coups with an installed military leader.

This situation is complicated because KJU's kids aren't old enough to rule and KJU's brother is considered unfit to lead and reportedly has no interest in politics. Based on bloodline, KJU's sister is the best candidate to take over. The problem is that NK is a Confucian society which generally doesn't favor females or young people and so she might not get the support of the military/key figures in NK to become their next leader. If I were a bookie I would still make her the odds on favorite to take over but after her, I think the next likely candidate to become their ruler is Kim Pyong Il, who is NK founder Kim Il Sung's only surviving son and Kim Jong Il's half brother. He has the bloodline, political experience as an NK diplomat for European countries, is old enough, and has a cock.

The one thing that I hope doesn't happen obviously is a real life Game of Thrones situation where the power vacuum leads to bloodshed and instability in the region.

I don't know. When I first saw her back in 2018 at the Olympics, I felt she has this kind of Cersei Lannister vibe to her. The pretty face that nobody suspects, but quietly manipulates everything behind the scenes to her advantage. All she needs is her "Gregor Clegane" and takes out a few of her opposition and there is your new NK leader.
