So when Kim Yo Jung takes over as Supreme Leader, North Korea gets a female head of state before the United States.
Reports from within the country say that shes already been detained and the military is running things. These are the same sources who are reporting on Kims illness/death , so if they're accurate about his illness, they're likely also accurate about the military.
Got a link for that? I'm looking.
@barjoe i can't find it now eather. Back when this story first got "hot" that he had actually dird. There are a couple british asian affairs journals, also reports from hong kong, that were the closest thing i could find to a source. They were reporting on "unnamed" sources, and then other papers were reporting on that. There were also intelligence analysis that the sister was detained and the military was trying to avoid break8ng into factions by essentially formingctheir own government.
@barjoe it was the eource material for stuff like this [nypost.com] or this [m.jpost.com]
@MarkiusMahamius That means it's probably unconfirmed or even untrue. That's why they took it down. Katie Tur tweeted Kim Jung Un brain dead on Thursday and immediately took it down. She was trying to get a scoop but didn't confirm. Rumor Central on this. We'll see. I think he might be battling coronavirus but that's just speculation
@barjoe yeah everything is unconfirmed, whether its "unnamed intelligence sources in n korea" according to British officials who don't want to be to be named, or DT, or whatever. Id still trust the unamed n korean sources on the likely hood of military involvement. Ths military in that country, is huge and fictionalized, but is the ultimate source of govt stability.
