Un.

This is coolbert:

Here with the final dope [??] and follow-up to my previous blog entry on the designated successor to Kim of North Korea:

From the Chicago Tribune today:

“NATION & WORLD”

“N. Korea heir apparent mysterious ‘Commander’”

“Little known about 3rd son of reclusive nation’s leader”

“SEOUL, South Korea - - One photo shows the chubby-cheeked boy with an impish grin. Former classmates at a Swiss boarding school describe a shy student who loved Michael Jordan and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Recent reports describe him as overweight and a heavy drinker.”

“Now 26, Kim Jong Un reportedly has been tapped to become the next leader of nuclear-armed North Korea.”

As to the two elder siblings of Jong Un:

Jong Nam [1st son] - - “was considered the favorite” - - “until caught trying to enter Japan on a fake passport.” Also, Jong Nam - - makes - - “gambling trips to Macau”!

Jong Chol [2nd son]- - “too effeminate”!

In favor of Jong Un is that he reportedly:

“is the only one of the sons with a military background.”

During his boarding school days in Switzerland, is was said of Jong Un that:

“recalled as timid and introverted but an avid skier and basketball player.”

Well, the man has “impeccable credentials” to rule a despotic, authoritarian, barbaric and isolated nation, albeit with one possessing 10,000 pieces of tube artillery and atomic bombs!!

And as to any intelligence regarding Jong Un that is obtainable from news reports and such - - take it all with the proverbial grain of salt!!

The “Commander” has a military background? Probably nothing more than having observed a massive demonstration of North Korean artillery firepower. And that is about it?

The entire matter of succession has been settled? A peaceful transition will follow upon the death of Kim? Don’t bet on it!
