![]() The regime appears to be speeding up the handover of power a few days ahead of the ailing leader's 70th birthday. According to a high-level North Korea source, Kim junior was appointed vice chairman of the commission at the April 25 Cultural Hall in Pyongyang on Feb. 10 in front of thousands of senior officers of the People's Army, the Internal Security Forces, the State Security Department, and the Ministry of Public Security. His appointment in principle needs to be ratified by the Supreme People's Assembly, which meets in April, but that is a rubberstamp body and ratification a mere formality. |

#5 his pose and expression, kind of reminds me of Saddam's sons. Raised and steeped in depravity. Creepy... Not wanting to judge a book by its cover.... but I think it'll be bad for the North Korean people when he takes over. |

#4 He doesn't seem to be missing any meals. He's the son of the son. Does that make him more evil? |

#3 Indeed, tw. I suspect the North Korean people are even more *bleep*ed than they were before. If such a thing is imaginable. As someone said, the problem with dictators, even the benevolent ones, is the kids eventually take over. |

#2 *shudder* Those eyes. Kim Jong-un must have been that boy at school who minions were attracted to, but the majority avoided. |
