Sorry, but I think Fat Boy deserves his own thread.

If he doesn't pull through there's probably a retroactive order to shoot every doctor and nurse who was on the case.

So Kim Jong Un is now Kim Jong Ill?

Did anyone check to see how Trump is taking this? Perhaps have Putin come over?

Obligatory brake-pumping post engaged. Not reflexively dismissing this, but it's worth remembering this is all based off a single source within North Korea (https://www.dailynk.com/english/source-kim-jong-un-recently-received-heart-surgery/). It's going to take something pretty remarkable to get this confirmed to any reasonable degree before Pyongyang decides to make it official.

So NK gets higher media standards than the US now? The cable nets have no problem throwing a "Questions being asked about...." and doing three or four segments about it.

The behavior of cable news networks that do all they can to fill a 24-hour news cycle with as much yammering as possible is the bar now? Oh dear. I advocate for brake-pumping because, if nothing else, Western media and Western intelligence agencies have been loud wrong about this very thing before and likely will be again.

Thread on the leaks/rumors coming out of Chinese social media. The sources seem very confident, if not necessarily backed up by solid evidence.


The guy quoted here is the only known foreigner (a Spaniard) working with the North Korean government. Take that, and the whims of Google Translate, as you will.

 

[Slacker]

I'd ask for an autopsy, but then more people would have to see that guy naked.
