I'd hate to be his doctor, three generations of doctor's family, as well as any member of the entire hospital staff. And two generations of their families.

He's a huuuuuuuuge drinker, smokes, and pounds crazy amounts of Swiss (where he studied when he was younger) style cheeses and cures meats. He has a horrible diet and lifestyle. He probably had an coronary.

One can only hope.

Of course, it's NK so who knows.
His sister is being groomed.

It would be very bad if a bad actor like China stepped in and opened the flood gates and allowed South Korea to be overrun by poor, uneducated, hungry ignorant North Koreans that have no worldliness about them at all. It would almost be worse than an actual invasion.
The initial integration of the North into the South might cause some pain but ultimately it would make for a larger and economically stronger unified Korea. South Korea would become bigger both in terms of land and populace (workers) overnight.

Look at Germany for example.

If this guy dies, isn't that a good deal?
I personally hope things stay as they are in terms of nuclear geopolitics until Trump is out of office. At least with Kim Jong Un, you know what you get and Trump seems to have figured out how to deal with him.

Default What will be the impact if Kim jong Un dies?

I heard that his sister is next in line to rule..do we know anything on her? Will she maintain the deal with Trump? Possibly a coo?
Whats your take?

One would think the world would be a better place. However, I don't believe it would be. I doubt the sister will be able to gain power in a country that doesn't recognize women as more than housekeepers and baby factories. It can get very ugly, very quickly. China is going to want to take that country over. We can't let that happen either.
