Better than a re-education camp death.

This regime WILL fall one day - tho I wouldn't venture even a wild guess as to how that will play out.

I smell bullshit.

But the Kims of North Korea have a well-derved reputation for excess.

Just slightly larger than a .50 cal

that's like hitting a fly with a car to kill it.

unless of course Un was really really pissed...

Un: that guy really makes me angry.

yes man: yes dear leader of the world born by gods to bestow your grace upon us.

Un: I mean he freaking fell asleep during my speech! MY speech!!!

yes man: yes, dear leader speaker of words that make doves cry.

Un: I, er, what? Never mind. Guns won't be enough!! It has to be bigger, deadlier, gruesome and a statement!!!

yes man: yes dear leader of military insight of which there is no equal.

Un: Big guns, really big guns!!!! Anti-aircraft guns!! boom boom boom, like in those old WWII American movies!!!

yes man: yes dear leader of massive over reaction to trifling things...

What an asshole.

It may take a few years. It all depends when and if the Chinese determine he is "bad for business". Or perhaps Kim will die in a coup d'etat in the next five minutes. It can end a million different ways, but this whole freaky totalitarian-commie-death cult of personality will end badly one day. It's weird, fascinating, and sad that it continues in 2015.

Just a bizarre social system

They want to assert their right to have a buffer zone between themselves and South Korea. Also they would likely lose all their mining rights in North Korea to rare earth minerals, coal, and whatever else they are digging up. When the wheels do come off it is going to be a f***ing mess because of the problems North Korea has and trying to stop a mass migration of people out of the country.

Why would they ever leave Heaven On Earth?

You don't regularly execute top military officials if your regime is stable. Me thinks we are seeing Communism's last dynasty unravel.

he's worried about a coup happening when he leaves the country. Since historically that's often how they happen Kim Jong Un isn't taking any chances. He knows he's losing control.

The Egyptians did it.

The Romans did it.

North Korea claimed flowers bloomed, stars aligned and birds sang upon the birth of these divine beings. When Kim Jong Il died they claimed the skies over a sacred mountain turned red, a frozen lake cracked and a crane flew around his statue.

When it happens, if hordes start pouring over the DMZ, how will that be dealt with?

since its a mined no man's land.

Many of those mines have been there for decades, and there is no off switch.

Hey it could happen .

Don't talk back
