BREAKING rumour: Kim Jong-Un assassinated?

If its true does that mean theyll blame the south and attack?

Apparently so- they used a dozen tainted "mint" flavored filled donuts... So sorry. Someone had to say it. On a completely unrelated note- a North Korean utility truck overheated and failed due to lack of coolant. Nothing to see here.

After four days of this rumor, the NK official press office still reporting Kim Jong-Eun alive and well:

My conclusion: Wishful thinking.

Well to be fair you might expect just that from such secrecy-intensive countries as China and North Korea. Tight lips are trademarks of both countries, regarding anything they didn't deliberately release themselves.

There's no point in assassinating the new ruler when looking from the military's point of view. Much more effective to keep him as a puppet, if he is weak and doesn't have support from the generals. A ruler of a military state cannot be strong without the support of the military.

True enough, but are you considering it from all angles? What makes a good strategy for one country may be a terrible strategy for a different country that considers the first to be an enemy or rival. Destabilization can be a great tool of war.

About his death, could it be true after I looked at this !

All I can find as proof is link

The strange thing is the president of Myanmar @HtinKyawMyanmar changed his Twitter to @KoreaDefenceMin the source of the rumor then the account was banded. So I say his account got hacked and then tweeted his death so I call hoax or wishful thinking.

Are the newest questions on kimmy being dead new or is it a continuation of the original op? I ask because aside from the 2 newest posts everything else is from 2012.

Didn't Lil Kim threaten China recently, as in like a week ago?

Oh mah gawd, thread necros this old with titles as attention-grabbing as this are not cool -- I almost fistpumped

Would love if it he was for his people's sake, but dang it, new thread people.

Found it! Yes, Kim did threaten China. If he's not dead now, he will be soon.

Kim Jong-un has threatened China with 'nuclear war' after declaring the country an 'enemy of North Korea .'

The portly despot reportedly launched a scathing attack on Beijing for taking part in UN sanctions against his regime.

Officials circulated a document dated March 10 which slams China for "betraying socialism" and threatens to clamp down on them with the force of "a nuclear storm."

It states: “We must no longer go easy on the Chinese and instead deal with them equally in order to change their attitude of taking us lightly." The North Korean leader has also threatened the US with nuclear missiles

The report, which positioned China as 'the detested enemy' was published by the Workers’ Party of North Korea and picked up by South Korea-based news site Daily NK.

It adds: "All Party members and workers must join in soundly crushing China’s pressuring schemes with the force of a nuclear storm for its betrayal of socialism.”

China defended North Korea in the 1950-53 Korean War and was seen as the country's closest ally and largest trading partner.

But earlier this month the country agreed to a US proposal that would dramatically tighten existing restrictions after North Korea's nuclear test on January 6.

Lee Young Hwa, a professor at Kansai University, said North Korea has openly declared China to be an ‘enemy state,’ placing it on the same ranks as South Korea, the US, and Japan.

He said the document explains China has “been an eager participant” in the sanctions because it is “worried that its status of dominance in Northeast Asia will be challenged.”

Another part orders North Koreans to “unite more firmly around Marshal Kim Jong-un and fight to the very end for final victory in our juche revolutionary feat, even if graver hardships and difficulties blow this way.”

Lee added: “It has now positioned the US as the ‘feared enemy’ and China as the ‘detested enemy’.

"The use of the term “nuclear storm” also indicates it is threatening Beijing with nuclear and missile provocations."

It comes in the same week North Korea released a bizarre propaganda video featuring an attack on America.

Good! Glad it was just a rumor. I want President Trump to get the credit and pleasure of ridding the world of Kim Jong-Un.

It's no rumor. They were caught on the Chinese side of the border.

Kim Jong Un assassination suspects arrested, source says

SEOUL, April 7 (UPI) -- At least two suspects who attempted to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un were arrested, according to unconfirmed reports in the country.

The suspects had been reportedly arrested at the China border near the Tumen River as they were preparing a hit on Kim in the city of Hoeryong in North Hamgyong Province, Radio Free Asia reported Thursday.

A source in the North who spoke to Japanese news service Asia Press on the condition of anonymity said he had heard the "terrorists" had not yet crossed the Tumen, which separates North Korea from China, when North Korean border guards crossed the border to arrest them.

The source went on to say the suspects were transferred to the State Security Department, and that the border guards were given rewards – including a chance to become members of the Korean Workers' Party.
