Kim Jong Un

[BuckeyeBama]

With the greatest respect, the issue I raised is not about KJU, or indeed any other country’s ‘leader’. It is about the fact that wishing any country’s political leader dead, is inherently ‘political’.

Yeah, I don't care enough about him to wish ill of him - though I think this is karma. No worries - reasonable people can look at the same thing and see it differently. I respect your opinion.

 

[Welsh_Dragon]

I respect your opinion

And I yours.

I will have to disagree that the issue with KJU health is inherently political. While he may be the "leader" of a nation, he was not elected by the people. IF you are a true dictator, are you really the leader of a country?

For it to be political, wouldnt there have to be a pro-Kim Jung Un cntingent?

i dont wish people dead, as a rule, but i dont know anyone who is for Kim Jung Un.

Dennis Rodman alone doesnt count

 

[Welsh_Dragon]

All noted and considered. I may not agree but, to be honest, it just doesn’t seem worth debating today. I am sipping a glass of and feeling rather chilled.

Yes that was a strange situation where the State Department would use Rodman as a US emissary.

The thread has been here since Sunday without the moderators taking any action to indicate this discussion is not allowed. Apparently Kim Jun Un, his health status and potential successor isn't considered a topic likely to trigger lots of contentious debate here.

I'd love to see the people of North Korea free to engage with the rest of the world out in the sunshine as they wish, without any repressive regime controlling or abusing them.

I lived in South Korea in 1988, got to know and understand the South Korean people and country as best I could in that short time. I feel like I a got a better understanding of the pain they feel over the division of the two Korea's. I'd like to believe that one day they will be one Korea again, but I'm not sure that the death of Kim Jong Un will usher that era in.

I didn't say it would, nor do I have that assumption. Only stated my wish for the people of North Korea, who have suffered greatly for a very long time now.

@cabanafrau sorry I didn't mean to imply you had, I was agreeing with you 100%

I think most of us wish the same.

I think most of us wish the same.

Agreed. Which is why I can't understand the suggestion this thread is too "political" for discussion here.

 

[wildride]

Is he? Or isn’t he... dead?

hope he is.

 

[Communicore1991]

I saw where there were reports he died because the surgeon's hands were shaking, ummmmm, sure they know this.
If that's true, that poor doctor will never see the light of day again.

When I heard the report of a surgeon with shaky hands, I immediately thought of this:

[MrWonderful]

Now that is funny

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Well I guess he is alive and well! Turned up at an event yesterday!

You guys are incorrigible!
Chop off the ears of the original and who does it remind you of?

 

[lorimay]

There are a few reports that he has many look-a-likes there that he keeps caged up to make appearances for him.
So, this could be that. ^^^^^^^^
My words!

I think the only question is there anyone who feels differently? And even if they did would they be willing to admit it.
