"Hey Kimmy! My associates and I were sent here by a concerned neighbor to fix your health problems. We're the best! We guarantee it's the last time you'll see us here."
Report: Kim Jong Un in vegatative state following botched stent procedure, Chinese specialists brought in. My guess? He's toast. Doesn't break my heart, but I won't wish death on him, if for no other reason than that someone worse could take over.
"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.”" In a country full of thin people thanks to governmental incompetence and deliberate starvation this is some supreme irony for fat boy whose probably the only fat person in the whole country. Assuming this is true.
I'm wondering if this isn't a political ruse by various governments to try and undermine Un's authority. Plant a wild story in the media, knowing that he's unlikely to immediately show himself (since that would make him appear to be a puppet of the US, etc.), and this would also ensure that a trickle of rumors about his condition made their way into NK. That would have the potential of roiling those around him, since I'm sure that many of them would like to assume the mantle of power were Un out of the way.
This is the obvious pitfall of trying to conduct a foreign policy based entirely on personal relationships between heads of state.
Does he have a son or sons? Didn’t he have one of his brothers killed? It will be interesting to see who is in line for the top spot. Or if there was no designated heir then maybe we will see a power struggle?
Right now it looks like his sister might try take over though I seriously doubt she could hold power for very long. North Korea is a country where masculinity is a huge thing in politics and she doesn't have a huge power base. Also everyone still alive remembers what fatty did when he took over and had a bunch of close people executed in order to consolidate his power and send a message to everyone else. They may decide as a group it's better to knock her out and take over if only so they can live a little longer. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...er-of-kim-jong-un-fast-becoming-his-alter-ego
Denis Rodham says that fatty has a daughter but she was born in 2010. No one knows how many other children he actually has.
I wonder how many doubles he has? Not easy in a country where everyone is starving, but I'm sure he's got a few stashed away. Any odds on his making a "miraculous recovery" and making public appearances while someone else pulls the strings?
North Korea's Supreme Leader/dictator Kim Jong-un has reportedly died, or is on his death bed with no hope for recuperation -- according to media outlets in China and Japan. Amid reports China has sent a medical team to their communist neighbors this week to check in/advise on Kim, a Hong Kong-backed news channel's vice director -- who's apparently the niece of a Chinese foreign minister -- blasted out the news herself ... he's dead. TMZ has not confirmed that. The woman put the report on a social media app called Weibo for her nearly 15 million followers to read, citing a "very solid source" about the claim Kim had, in fact, perished. A Japanese magazine reports he's in a "vegetative state" after a heart surgery gone wrong. The outlet reports -- citing a Chinese medical expert privy to the situation -- that Kim had clutched his chest in early April and fell down while visiting the countryside there. He needed a stent procedure done, but apparently ... it either wasn't done rapidly enough, or it was botched completely by the surgeon -- with some reports saying he had shaky hands. ..... Here's another point ... Saturday marks a major military anniversary in North Korea, where they celebrate the founding of the Korean People's Army in 1932 -- something they hype annually with a parade, and one in which Kim might normally make an appearance. International reporters on the ground say if Kim was doing alright and not on death's doorstep, he and his team would figure out a way for him to show up to squash the rumors. If he doesn't, it's probably not a good sign ... almost all but confirming something is wrong. https://www.tmz.com/2020/04/25/north-korea-dictator-kim-jong-un-dead-dies-heart-surgery-reports/
So is he dead, or just MOSTLY dead? Have we confirmed that no agents from NK have attempted to contact Miracle Max?
This video. My copilot and I today were laughing about this- if you got heart disease, bro, come to AMERICA for your medical treatment! We're all fookin' dyin' of it 'ere! In North Korea, how good can your top heart surgeon actually be? Plus, Dear Leader is the ONLY fat guy in the ENTIRE COUNTRY! Hell, I'm almost as fat as that fat bastard and I have access to a first class cardiologist!
I'm reminded of this, from "The Office". "In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, Yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Yakuza boss die! Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing boat, come to America. No english, no food, no money. Darryl give me job. Now I have house, American car, and new woman. Darryl save life. My big secret: I kill yakuza boss on purpose. I good surgeon. The best!"
South Korea says Un’s fine. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/26/asia/kim-jong-un-north-korea-health-intl/index.html
