Kim Jong-Il is dead

[Andalusian girls]

the actual death is insignificant as de facto control of North Korea had already been taken from Kim Il Jung on account of his failing health, most likely by his brother-in-law Chang Sung-taek, the vice-president of North Korea's dictatorial governing body (Kim was the president).

the stated successor Kim Jong Un is in his 20s, foreign educated, and reportedly disrespected by the politburo + military leadership. we'll see how uncle feels about his nephew assuming the reigns, or if either can maintain power against the aspiring non-bloodline claimants to the throne.

i doubt South Korea has much to worry about however, any of the potential North Korean leaders must know it is suicide to attack such a close ally of the west; the intrigue and long knives will likely be kept north of the DMZ.

it could get quite ugly, there are too many pieces in the game.

No one here is worried about a full-blown war, just an attack. Saying that's the north knows it's suicide to launch an attack is overlooking the fact that they have attacked South Korea twice within the past year and a half with virtually no recourse.

Ahhh I thought he died from playing WoW too much after getting World First Spine of Deathwing and were pushing for World First Deathwing

a minute border skirmish such as those that have happened before is possible but essentially meaningless, the "attacks" North Korea has launched typically consist of single digit rounds or a single torpedo / bomb

they do not seek to invade the South or inflict serious casualties, i don't see that dynamic changing with the regime upheaval

[dynamis]

I doubt anything will happen at all. At least, not until the state funeral is finished. Ulsan just has money anyway. Changwon is the place they would attack after Seoul, considering it is the wartime capital.

[Niiro]

Can we have that one take over?

North Korea as run by Bender.

Is best Korea.

[Djghost454]

[Outlaw]

Just woke up and saw the news. Though I guess it was announced last night. For reasons others have said I hope this leads to the end of this brutal dictatorship.

The homefront trailer is all wrong.. Un looks more like the kid from Up then the guy in the trailer.

As if the video of the death of his father wasn't that way too?

Anyway.

His name was Kim Jong. He had a license to Il.
He made us swallow his rhymes like a steroids pill.

RIP broski.

I can think of many reasons why they'd use a double, the forfront of which is "do you want the main villian in your series to look like the fat kid from 'Up'?"
