Just like the BS about Bin Laden during WJC's term. US forces could have taken out XXX and ruby ridge. Oh my.

That would just create a power vacuum.

Meh. I look at the geopolitical climate the way I look at software development. America is the Globalist's 'stable' release. Very few bugs compared to anything else, but still sporting some new features like welfare, militarized law enforcement and pseudomarxist economic planning and manipulation. Europe is the public beta. Glitchy, but still somewhat functional, a glimpse at what's to come.

China, naturally, is the Alpha. It technically works, especially for power users that have overseas backups. That leaves North Korea, the dev channel. You don't run that on your daily driver. 1/5 of users can't even get food and another 2/5 work as moderators (the military and paramilitary).

Sounds like bullshit.

This wouldn't help anything. It has to happen from within N Korea, POSSIBLY south korea or China.

Even if it was a body double, what good would it do? It would destabilize the crap out of the region and make it unpredictable. People in power don't like unpredictable. They like predictable.

That's actually a good point, I didn't think of that, but it well could've been a body double. With how paranoid Kim is, he'd probably be more reclusive.
