Any closer to resolution, or is this still Schrödinger's dictator?

He remains alive at least until people have some narrative (thought experiment) around what life looks like after he is not alive.

Where we are at is that there is more risk if Kim is dead than if he is alive. How that gets translated into Brain dead Trump policy failure is one for the ages.

I didn’t view this as commentary about his specific NK policy, such as it is.

Having said that, I don’t think it’s clear whether his replacement will be better or worse.

Are there any eligible Kims?

Cuts the whole founding divine family myth down if not.

It’s the transition period that has high odds of unstable consequences.

@xenon Yes. His sister is next in line. I don't imagine she will be any better.

As if it’s a given she would be accepted, by let’s say the military? Coup perhaps or worse specific acts on her part to solidify her position? Or let’s say meltdown and what does China have to do on the peninsula and what about the security of the nuclear arsenal?
