A vice director of HKSTV Hong Kong Satellite Television, a Beijing-backed network in Hong Kong, claimed Kim was dead, citing a "very solid source," and posting the information on the Chinese messaging app Weibo that made the social medial rounds, International Business Times reported.
Other unconfirmed reports attributed to communist party sources in Beijing that an operation to insert a stent went wrong because the surgeon's hands were shaking so badly, the fact-checking site, Snopes reported. The North Korean Supreme Leader is in a "vegetative state" after the surgery earlier this month, a Japanese magazine reported, according to Snopes.

I guess that's what chain smoking, heavy drinking, and eating blocks of cheese will do to a man.

Trump will be heartbroken. They were in love.
I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

By mere seconds, you beat me to editing my post to end with "...now awaiting the all-too-predictable Kim/Trump jokes."

Trump will show more sympathy for his death than that of tens of thousands of Americans who recently died.

The TDS in this thread is pretty thick. Nobody has a single opinion on North Korea's future?

Might show it, but it won't be real.

On North Korea's future....one of two ways this could go, assuming this is true. First, his sister steps into a leadership role and she may either take a new view of things and make things better for the people of the country or be more hard line to prove a woman can also be a ruthless dictator. Second, his sister leads a regency to be in place until one of his children is old enough to assume the leadership role. China has a big hand in that regency and North Korea becomes even more of a Chinese puppet state.

It’s not even TDS... it’s simply his self inflicted wounds showing...
That said who is even in line to replace Un? Does he have siblings? Children? Me thinks his death would be an untimely and unexpected development.

No, its
TDS.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

It’s
Trump botching his meetings with Kim and getting nothing in return for it. You’d be made fun of too.

So... is Trump still going to get us into WWIII with NK?
No? OK, good.
As far as the future of NK... if he does indeed pass, I see the sister taking over... unless, of course, the military and China won't allow it.
It's safe to say that NK is most likely having a hard time with Covid19, and now Dear Leader may be on a slab. Prime time for a military coup or China steps in and installs a government more to their liking.
Now, if sister does get the top spot, I see a warming of relations with the south. I know that some will say she was just as, if not more brutal than her brother, but I'm just not seeing it. I'm not seeing the same proclivity for vice and thirst for power that her brother exhibited.
