Dictator's brother predicts coup in North Korea

[nadinbrzezinski]

The brother of North Korea's new dictator says he believes the collapse of the regime in Pyongyang is inevitable.

Kim Jong-nam is the older half-brother of North Korea's new leader, Kim Jong-un.

In a book based on email exchanges and interviews with Kim Jong-nam, which will be released in Japan later this week, he says the North Korean military has become so powerful it will likely step in and take power from his younger brother.

He says the 28-year-old Kim Jong-un is merely a puppet of the elites and warns North Korea is very unstable.

2. I think we'll soon be reading Kim Jong-nam's obituary. nt

3. That is possible, unless the Chinese decide

He has a role to play.

[DonViejo]

4. The Chinese will charge him...

with insulting his host, spreading lies against an ally of China. Certainly his brother, the dictator, will demand he be turned over to his government. I think there are some interesting conversations between China and NK coming up. lol

5. May you live in interesting times, the Chinese curse

Is starting to take on all kinds of meanings

6. But if Kim is just a puppet then why even bother removing him?

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Because the military might be getting tired

Of him. We ave a suspected coup already.

7. Watch this video---

10. Yup, supports the brother's (and intel agencies)

View.

Not all all defending NK. Though I came across today the propaganda run of the DPRK...I posted the link earlier here before. That s what big brother propaganda looks for real.

13. Wow. Thanks for posting that.

9. Kim Jong-nam once tried to enter Japan with a Dominican passport

because he really, really wanted to visit Tokyo Disneyland. I say, set him up as Dear Leader of North Korea and treat his family to Japan's version of the Magic Kingdom! That would go a long way toward easing tensions in East Asia!

11. That doesn't sound very bright...

Wouldn't it have been more convincing with a fake South Korean passport? I don't know what he looks like, but I doubt anybody would believe him Dominican.

12. I've always wondered about that

It does seem like a fake South Korean passport would have been a more logical choice. What's even more confusing is why he used a fake Chinese name on his fake Dominican passport.

14. The coup already took place.

Jong-un was the result of that.
