No idea, Does he even have a successor? Hard to have a successor when you murder everyone around you. IE the uncle, the half brother. I would assume China will be all over this offering assitance.

nuckin_futz Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Could be Covid-19 related. If so, it's no surprise he wouldn't fare well. He's very heavy and has gout. Probably hypertension, diabetes and a whole host other maladies. He's a bouillabaisse of ill health. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 South Korean government says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is not seriously ill Tue 21 Apr 2020 02:53:01 GMT Yonhap (SK media) citing the South Korean government says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is not seriously ill says no unusual movement in North Korea South Korean latest is at odds with (admittedly anonymously sourced) US govmt report: ***************** OK this sounds fishy. How would the South know? Unless they opened the special lines of communication with the North. In that case, what else would you expect the North Koreans to say? Something has to be up as Lil Kim missed the "Day Of The Sun" celebrations on the 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
