Is this good? Could his replacement be worse? Lots of questions here like is this coronavirus, or really an assassination?

Katy Tur of NBC just Tweeted that Kim is brain dead, according to one current and former US official. She then deleted the Tweet, “out of an abundance of caution.”

Regardless, I’d be stunned if this was not true.

Who could even know what the real story is?

Who is second in command?

I think he’s been grooming his sister. MOO

North Korea apparently hasn’t had any cases of Coronavirus. Or so the claims go.

This doesn't look good for his medical staff IMO

Being his barber would be bad, but I can’t imagine being his surgeon.

We’ve seen how the regime treats family, so his doctors probably don’t stand a chance.

NEW: Trump admin received information that Kim Jong Un had heart surgery last week and if he's alive, his health is poor, I'm told. KJU hasn't been seen at key events in recent days. It's unclear to US officials if he's dead or alive. (CNN 1st reported his condition's grave.)

Trump administration officials are looking into who would be in the line of succession if Kim Jong Un dies or is already dead, I'm told.

Would anyone challenge this?

It's not going to be the sister who assumes power if he dies/is dead.
They aren't going to put a female in charge.
That's not the culture.

JMO.

I can't imagine that there are no cases of Covid-19, but there are many, many people in NK that are isolated, living in poverty, and have no means of travel other than bicycles, etc., so there may only be a few who have been exposed, but even so, I feel sure they have some cases, but no one may even know how it affects people to identify it. And has it even been announced to any of its citizens?

North Korea continues to insist that it has not discovered a single case of Covid-19, but experts and defectors have challenged those claims.

The North has quarantined tens of thousands and delayed the school year as precautionary steps, and sealed its border with China in January. But activist groups in Seoul said they had been told by contacts in that people had died of the virus, although those claims could not be independently verified.​

We all know that this country is being devastated by a disease they don't have the resources to treat, in large part because of censorship.

As for <modsnip> who knows what's up with him? He NEVER looked healthy, due to his massive obesity.

If he is dead it could end up like Weekend at Bernie’s.
