CNN is reporting that Kim is "in grave danger" following cardiac surgery:

NBC News was reporting that he fell into a coma and is now brain dead ...

... then retracted the story:

... and Fox News reports that he is recovering:

This is what happens when one relies on Twitter for news about the Hermit Kingdom.

To paraphrase Mark Twain; while I don't wish Kim Jong Un ill, I would read his obituary with a great deal of satisfaction.

Who's next in line? I didn't think he had a clear line os succession set up like his father did.

Would his death and/or incapacitation by his obvious looming heart disease and dibeetus lead to more or less turmoil vis a vis East Asian politics?

I did some more research.

Apparrantlly the likely successor is his younger sister. Who is even more of a cartoon villan thaan he is.

Imagine the Baroness from GI Joe but meaner and less mentally stable.

I know little about her, but from what I have read, please get better Kim Jong Un. What a twitchy and unstable finger to be hovering over their big red button.

Is that the one people were cooing over, because she "threw shade" at Pence at the Olympics, or "side-eyed" him, or whatever stupid internet phrase it was?

FWIW, The Guardian doesn't think l'il sister would be accepted as the supreme ruler, because sexism and chauvanism.

I was thinking more along the lines of what certain lampshades were supposedly made from.
I've seen that look in the eyes before

The rumor mill kicks into overdrive:

New rumors are circulating claiming that Kim Jong Un has died - including a top Hong Kong journalist.

Vice director of HKSTV Hong Kong Satellite Television Shijian Xingzou says that a 'very solid source' has told her Kim Jonh Un has died.

Separately, one Japanese media outlet claims that the North Korean dictator is in a 'vegetative state' after he underwent heart surgery.

China has dispatched a team to North Korea including medical experts to advise on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to three people familiar with the situation.

Kim Jong Un didn't kill himself

Too soon?

Shukan Gendai subsequently detailed how the surgeon in charge of Kim’s operation was not used to dealing with obese patients and was too nervous during the operation, leading to delays that left Kim in a “vegetative state.”

Well, yeah, since if you fail, you're shot by an anti-aircraft gun. Totalitarian chickens coming home to roost.

I do pray for the innocents of North Korea. No matter what happens, they are screwed. At some point we are going to have to be part of the biggest humanitarian response ever. If lil sis gets installed the body count will be impressive as she proves she is in charge.

Our lefties are already thrilled to death that she might be in charge.
