There's so much news about North Korea right now and what Un is doing, I got a suggestion for a NK megathread, so here it is. Post the world's greatest nation's antics here. I'm merging a few of the more recent threads to continue discussion.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in has pushed for a new plan for a rapid war with North Korea and an overhaul of the country's defense industry to overwhelm and crush the North's government, the South Korean newspaper The Chosun Ilbo reported Tuesday.

Moon took office in May promising to attempt to engage diplomatically with North Korea and seek peace, but in the months since, the North has provoked the international community with missile tests at a blistering pace.

For some time, South Korea has been training a "decapitation force," reportedly with the help of the US Navy's SEAL Team 6, but now an increasingly bold North Korea may demand quicker action.

South Korea's new plan identifies more than 1,000 targets for precision missile fires and sites for marines to drop in and quickly kill North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the paper reported.

The plan represents a more independent version of South Korea's current plan, which relies on support from US aircraft carriers. As it stands, no major military commander recommends military action against North Korea, which has a staggering array of conventional — and potentially nuclear — weapons pointed at Seoul, where 26 million call home.

But South Korea's new plan to quickly and decisively dominate the North relies on reforming the defense-acquisition process and cutting out wasteful spending to wield the full might of its economic dominance against Pyongyang, according to the report. For that reason, don't expect the plan to take effect anytime soon.

To save face and to buy enough time for the officials to come up with a reasonable answer to explain to their brainwashed masses that their dear leader died of something besides being a fat fuck.

I meant other than the Norks, the answer for them is obvious, what puzzles me is anyone outside of North Korea declaring "Oh, hm, this probably doesn't mean anything other than that he thinks his sister is good at her job".
 
Wasn't this guy a rampant Hennessy drinker in addition to eating the entire agricultural production of his nation?
 
Its hard to keep the fat blobs straight given how round they are. I suspected it was his old man, but no doubt he inherited some other bad habits if not that.

Remember when Trump supporters bragged about Trump bringing peace to the world by visiting and talking to North Korea? I feel all that progress was reset with North Korea's "Christmas surprise" threat.

Things aren't great with North Korea, But at least they aren't doing dumb crap like tossing ICBMs over Japan in test launches anymore. Dropping an upper stage full of hypergolics onto some little town would be a real bad day, even if it's perfectly clear it was dud hardware and nothing intentional.
 
I almost made a separate thread before finding this one. Anyways:

NY Post - Kim Jong Un reportedly in a coma as his sister Kim Yo Jong takes control

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has fallen into a coma, a former South Korean official is claiming on the heels of reports that the northern leader has ceded over some of his power to his younger sister.
Chang Song-min, a former aide to late-South Korean president Kim Dae-jung, has alleged that the Hermit Kindom’s honcho has become seriously ill amid speculation about his limited public appearances this year, the Mirror reported.
“I assess him to be in a coma, but his life has not ended,” he told South Korean media.
The former aide added that the leader’s younger sister, Kim Yo Jong, was poised to help lead the country.
“A complete succession structure has not been formed, so Kim Yo-jong is being brought to the fore as the vacuum cannot be maintained for a prolonged period,” he said.
His claims come after South Korean spies revealed that the 33-year-old sibling now serves as his “de facto second-in-command,” though she has not been designated his successor.
In a closed-door meeting with lawmakers, the National Intelligence Service said the power shift partly seeks to “relieve (Kim’s) stress from his reign and avert culpability in the event of policy failure,” the Yonhap News Agency reported.
“Kim Yo Jong, the first vice department director of the Workers’ Party Central Committee, is steering overall state affairs based on the delegation,” the agency reportedly said.
Kim has only been seen in public a handful of times this year after rumors swirled that he was clinging to life in April due to a botched heart operation.
