#1 "Reshuffling?" Is that a euphemism for "kill that one?"

#2 Jeebus.

I concur wid a number of Perts on the Net whom believe that Kim jong-un's rants may a sign that the DPRK is very close to an IRREVERSIBLE COLLAPSE where the most realistic outcomes is either de facto Chinese takeover ASAP, or in the alternate China-led UNO/UNSC intervention.

North Korea's hallowed "German/Germany" Model
of Inter-State Reunification may longer be possible???

* TOPIX > PROFESSOR: NORTH KOREA UNLIKELY TO QUIETLY IN THE NIGHT, i.e to be VIOLENT = MUTUALLY DESTRUCTIVE.

Lest we fergit, DPRK = IRAN = WHAT IRAN'S MULLAHS WANT IFF THE US-ALLIES EVER ATTEMPT TO INVADE + OCCUPY SAME, ee DETONATE NUKES-WMDS, ETC. ON THEIR OWN SOIL TO DEFEAT THE INVADER.

In sum,

> THE DPRK WANTS INTEGRATION + REUNIFICATION
N-O-W - de facto started NLT 2015 = end of PTUS Bammers' 2nd term???
> "POST-US", "MAHANIST" CHINA WANTS TAIWAN N-O-W.

#3 Collapse would likely mean disintegration of the state into areas controlled by warlords. South Korea and China would likely see mass refugee attempts (I suspect China will at best turn them back; more likely there'll be lots of mass graves.)

Defacto Chinese takeover sounds like the more likely option - after the NorKs have bled themselves out.

According to same, she believes the DPRK armed forces is split over loyalty to KJU whom many consider too young + experienced to lead.
