Nothing will change. 2nd in power succeeds.
Or there will be political strife for power within their ranks.
Either way there is no telling because the government is so secretive to begin with.
This is the best kind of news.
"daddy" has been long dead.
but they're listening to every word I say
Probably bad news. There were rumours that the military were mightily upset about him shutting down Yongbyon. The moderates in the foreign ministry were the only ones who supported it.
So, if he dies, then there is the question of who will succeed him:
- One of his sons... either the crazy eldest one who was busted entering Japan with a fake passport (giving his name as "Fat Bear") in order to visit Tokyo Disneyland... or the second one, who is apparently an obsessive Eric Clapton fan.
- Someone from the Government, possibly from the foreign ministry. Not likely.
- Someone from the military. The worst case scenario.
Really, the most probable situation is that his second son will take over, but I'm sure the military will end up with more control of the country in the mean-time.
But officially, he's still the leader of the nation. His son is merely regent.

Next time we see Kim he's going to have some strings attached to half his body so it looks like he's fine.
haha
But even with all those specially trained guards, it's sickness that got 'em.
edit: yes, they actually believe that shit. Or at least cram it down the throats of their citizens.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
I heard he committed suicide because his CoD4 clan kept losing to Vlad Putin's. He just couldn't take it anymore.
I hope some tabloid picks up my idea.
Even better is the constant media attention on the wall that South Korea (and the US) built along the border with the North (in the DMZ). The DPRK media states that the construction of the massive wall shows that the South has no plans to reunite. The South has blatantly ignored all pleas from the North to tear the wall down in the name of reconciliation, and refuses acknowledge that the wall is causing tensions. The issue is a major part of the DPRK propaganda against the South.
I like the propaganda town.

During the 2002 World Cup, the South blasted commentary from the games across the DMZ. I guess this was part of the same loudspeaker war.
Personally I hope the Clapton fan succeeds, that sounds like it could go well.
Spike his drink and put on Wheels of Fire.
I think I heard something about North Korea having the world's biggest flag there or something, its supposedly so big it can't really even move in the wind.
Well, when I was on the tour to the DMZ two months ago, it was flapping well. It takes a hell of a lot of wind to get it moving though. It is on one of the largest flag poles in the world though.
No, he just saw Team America and got really confused.

The largest flag pole.

that thing is gigantic.
It's the Eiffel tower of flagpoles.
There's a documentary where some western journalist got in with a team of opthamologists (IIRC) by posing as an assistant who was filming the procedures to train more doctors coming over to do aid work. During the visit she actually got a few interviews with NK nationals. The stuff that people believe there is absolutely insane.
...like? You can't just leave us hanging like that.
The procedures they were doing seemed to mostly be removal of cadaracs and that sort of thing. They were doing the procedures inside this building that was one giant room. It was set up like a church, pews all in rows with an aisle, facing a stage/altar/raised-type-part where they were doing the actual procedures. Where Jesus/a cross would be in a church up behind the stage on the wall, there was a giant portrait of Kim Jong Il. Every time they finished with a patient, the patient would immediately get up, walk to the front of the stage, bow to the portrait and thank "Our Glorious Leader" for fixing their eyes. Not the doctors. One old man even started to spout off about how he was going to take a gun and kill all the Americans, even though some among the doctors that had just helped him were clearly American.
Later she was with a North Korean family and was filming them during dinner. Instead of a prayer they thanked their "Glorious Leader" for their food. They ate in silence, being very polite, eating very efficiently. Suddenly, the lights cut off. The power has been turned off for the night, like it always is. Instantly, the wife goes from the epitome of an east-Asian stereotypical polite housewive to a screaming, cursing, foaming-at-the-mouth she-devil.
"Fucking Americans! Can't even let us eat our fucking dinner in peace! I'll kill them! I'll kill them!" and so on.
They were not told that the power was cut off because the government couldn't afford it, they were told that the power was cut off because the Americans bombed their power plants every night.
I'll be fine, just give me a minute, a man's got a limit, I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.
