And anyone who thinks "it will be different! she's a woman - she'll be compassionate!" surely has never heard of Hillary Clinton.

Was just coming to post the TMZ article.

Unconfirmed reports also coming out of Japan that Kim is dead or in a vegetative state.

Wow...I wonder what this means for NK's relationship with the rest of the world.

Well whether he's dead or in a vegetative state it's clear his rule over NK has come to an end.

Good riddance. Hopefully the next person is a step up (but being NK probably not).

Wouldn’t either but I hope that this brings about some change for North Korea.

Awesome, I hope he and everyone in North Korean leadership suffers from something like this or, at least all get covid-19 and die.
Be careful of what you wish for. What happens in the power vacuum if he does die? The instability could lead to a disaster and security threat to the world.

As long as any members of that family are still alive I doubt anything will change for the better. They kill their own brother, generals, trusted advisors and citizens.
And I seriously doubt the sister would be a 'kinder, gentler' ruler.

No doubt the surgeon is dead.

She's female. If one of Kim Jong-un's kids is male then she might just be a place holder until the kid is old enough to take over.

Just as a point of reference, these sorts of reports come out every few years and they are nearly always fake news. Every now and then, one happens to be right. But usually they are not.

I've read that she is more ruthless than he is. Apparently, when he would want someone dead, she was the one who gave the orders.

TMZ is usually dead on for death.

I would be surprised if he's alive in this case.
