I just can't find a reason to care that the leader of NK may have killed his half-brother. Seems to me, the fewer Kim Jung Whatever's are in the world...the better.

even the westernized ones? Seems short sighted to want those kind dead. But humans are short sighted.

Im not sure Kim jung-nam was that Westernized, or even that great of a person, but he was a possible tool for the Chinese to use to replace Kim Jong-un in any potentially reformed North Korea. He was definitely worth having around.

There's no way the NK military leaders would have ever tolerated a westernized Kim Jung Something. They fear losing control of the populace. Can't risk letting the peons have better lives...or see what better lives might look like. Keep them starving and loyal. (I know...that last bit doesn't make sense...but it seems to work there)

If china keeps putting the screws to them they will. Its one thing for us to starve the population its another thing entirely for china to fuck up the tech/mil flow.

I suppose its important to note that the son of the man, Kim Jong-nam, that was just killed, Kim Han-sol, has been under French police protection at a French university for quite some time by now.

This. Personally I think we should refuse to deal with anyone from North Korea except Ri Sol-ju because, well, she's smoking hot. Judging solely from that one picture, but still.

Also lol that the OP's fine with Hillary hosting classified information on an unsecured personal server but somehow a-feared of hackers secretly gaining access to phone cameras.

I never said I was fine with that. I really dont like Hillary that much. But with the other option being Trump, there really wasnt any option except for voting for Hillary. Maybe if Evan McMullin stood a chance he would be a better president than Hillary ever could be.

The estranged half-brother of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has died in Malaysia, police have confirmed, after he told authorities he had been attacked in the shopping concourse at Kuala Lumpur airport.

Kim Jong-nam, who was 45 years old, died on his way to hospital after seeking help at an information desk because he felt dizzy, Malalysian police said. He said he had been attacked by an unknown assailant, and police have ordered a postmortem.

Both South Korean and US government sources believe Kim was murdered by North Korean agents, Reuters news agency reported. Poison-pen devices have been found on would-be North Korean assassins in the past, and a US government official said a similar device could not be ruled out.

Kim had been planning to travel to Macau, where he is believed to have a home and family, when he fell ill at the low-cost terminal of Kuala Lumpur international airport (KLIA), police official Fadzil Ahmat told Reuters.

“The deceased ... felt like someone grabbed or held his face from behind,” Fadzil said. “We don’t know if there was a cloth or needles. The receptionist said someone grabbed his face, he felt dizzy.”

Kim was taken to an airport clinic, where medical staff ordered an ambulance, but he died on his way to hospital. A postmortem will be carried out and police have launched an investigation, although they do not yet have any suspects, Ahmat said.

Gullible Americans are susceptible to the Trump dog-whistle, who would have guessed. It still does nothing to refute the point. Plenty of people are willing to lap up whatever mystery fluids Trump dumps in front of them and that makes them lost.
I especially enjoy the incendiary MSM coverage and lathered-up public hysteria over the recent ICE arrests...planned (as a matter of routine) while Obama was still in office. And it's particularly entertaining to compare their current level of lunacy to their ho-hum vapid reaction when these ICE arrests routinely occurred under Obama's administration. Brain-dead lemmings ftl.

It's quite ironic that you speak of gullibility.

Not enough pictures of refugees that you pretend to care about.
