He's Dead

I'm hoping that there will now be change for the better.

I think there will be some posturing, but perhaps a real opportunity to break through. My biggest concern is Winter is upon North Korea, their people are starving, and the only sellable goods they have are nuclear fissable material.

Time for diplomacy on both sides.

Let's hope there's not some kind of power struggle that escalates the extant tensions.

the military and our Intelligence agencies are likely on "high alert" while following the developments.

Too date, Diplomacy has not a consideration for the North.

Yeah, high alert status is on. After all, this is the same kid who orchestrated the shelling of the ROK island last winter. Provocation is the linchpin of their foreign policy.

BUT, it's Christmastime, and we'll be shopping at Forever21 in Myeongdong today, so life goes on as it always does!

Might take a DMZ tour next week - would be an interesting time to do so.

In a secretive world like North Korea sometimes it's better the devil you know. But with progess there's always the hope for improvement. I'll bet US intelligence has spent years investigating and analyzing his potential successors for this moment.

Krak-I have to admit I never thought I would ever read about North Korean political insanity and "shopping at Forever 21" in the same post!
