I have no idea why Kim Jung-in is worried about this.

Given the CIA's history of incompetence, any assassination plot by the CIA is more than likely to extend his life by 100 years, not end it.

On a serious note, this is probably the first time in my life I've agreed with the North Koreans. The history of the CIA is full of crackpot schemes like this (go ask the Castro family)

so yeah, this probably happened.

Anyone seen Kronk lately? Just a coincidence?

What are they going to do, nuke us?

Aye a very expensive bottle of Bourbon which is about to be sent to Kim himself.


Then when it least suspects it. KRONK! He'll get a Kronk through the abdomen.

Sounds like Kim Jung-un finally got around to watching The Interview.

If he got through that then he's a more tolerant man than I.

I know its popular to hate on Seth Rogen movies, but the opening scene with Eminem was hilarious.

I mean, come on. It is the CIA. If they weren't, something would be wrong.

Better plan than The Interview had.

They accuse not only the US but also South Korea. So yes, getting at you will be a problem but hurting your allies is easy. NK can cause quite some devastation in SK with regular artillery before being turned into a parking lot,

You mean threatening to nuke the US repeatedly does not trigger the CIA to wanna go kill you.

Hmmm...

Eh.

All our assassinations are done with drone strikes. Poison? Thats an NK thing.

I tried to make it look like one of his generals did this thing.

But, you know, Kim likes to point at things and there was an American flag in his line of site, so, you know...

I'm not trying to be popular. I generally like Rogen's movies, but The Interview was a stinker. No amount of Eminem could save it.

To be fair, the CIA probably does have a few plots under its belt XD

The question is why would the suit and haircut boys at Langley want to even waste the time to kill off this insignificant little fat tick?


The answer would be no. Unless somebody above them wanted to destabilize the whole region for whatever (stupid) reason.

Killing Kim Jong Un would solve no problems.

Oh, I don't know. It would save his tailor having to constantly let out his suits...that boy is turning into a Fatty Boombalatty!

That may be their plan, just feed him American food until he does blow up

That depends entirely on whom his successor would be, doesn't it?

We're not looking at a series of handpicked party members here, the Kim dynasty is essentially the royal family. With his half-brother out of favour Kim Jong Un's death could very well spell the end of it, a non-Kim successor simply wouldn't enjoy the same level of veneration by the populace.

Not that an even more unstable North Korea is really a good thing.

He couldn't be involved; he is to busy working on the new Gong Show to help out the CIA.

Now I have an image of Kronk in a suit and a gas mask with a gun in one hand and a bottle of bourbon in the other taking out KJU then hitting on Ri Sol-Ju (am I correct in remembering Kronks avatar for a while was him in business dress playing air soft?)

Makes it look like an inside job.

There is this, also as the army is well doctrinally entrenched you will get more of the same but pas though a political Darwinist system if tyere are no Kims left. So the next Glorious Leader will not only be ruthless but likely also decisive and intelligent. He will not like America very much and rather than just bluster for effect which is what North Korea has actually been doing) the replacement might become desperate enough to start pressing buttons.

North Korea is going to yield only ruthless psychotic dictators as Glorious Leaders, why add competent, decisive and desperate to the list of 'virtues' of leadership.

How do you know that the CIA had nothing to do with the Kennedy Assassination?

Well, he's dead, isn't he? ::

The Auld Grump - as for Operation Audible Cat....

The CIA gets way more moeny the longer a Kim is alive.

Not sure if "competent" and "started a shooting war with the US" could be applied to the same leader.

Sounds like the next OReilly book, right after "Killing OReilly."
