The alternative, as must be obvious, is massive bloodshed.

Actually that depends.  What if you just took out KJU?

The truly brainwashed would want vengeance, obviously, but he is overweight and could simply die of a heart attack...

His children are too young to take over, so that would depend on the generals.  Would they keep their power, or do what is best for their people?

It would all depend on the character of the man left in charge.

You are looking and reading at the ramblings of an idiot - he wants KJU proclaimed Emperor

I have no glass ball on the future of NK but the spread of technology creeps into even the most restrictive societies and with it comes the smell of freedom .

If the North does not make a deal of any kind then it will simply inevitably further deteriorate and with every step back wards the peoples ire raises ,KJU knows he has to do something he is not deaf to the whispering of his people so a balance has to be found

A huge work force the last cheap place on earth has incredible potential

Hush - if I was a well brought up person I'd not try to share with you how things work in civilised societies.

Just murder him you mean and everything would be alright as it was in Iraq and Libya?

Alek Sigley says he is happy to have been reunited with his wife in Japan after spending more than week in detention in North Korea.

Its hardly possible that he wasn't spying for us in some fashion.

Actually Kim sends his people to Africa as slave labour.

The slaves are sequestered in one building and Kim keeps all the money they are paid for himself.  I mean, they get one meal a day and Kim's gratitude.  What more could they want?
