Re: He says he's not dead.
Given the hint, the PRC may have to un Un, forcibly retire a few Generals, and promote a few Colonels, but there may be long term benefits to China, SK, and Japan to have a trading partner in Pyongyang.
It's the economy, stupid...
Just speculating and playing imperialistic politics here, but what if the SecState made a visit to Beijing and said, completely off the record mind you, that there appears to be a power vacuum in North Korea right now. It would be an advantage to all of Asia if NK was brought into the modern economy.

Speaking of people who are not dead, I had no idea this doofus was still with us.

Nice to know somebody's keeping the Leni Riefenstahl tradition alive. I believe this is the first time I've ever seen women goose stepping.

You must have missed the pre-Thanksgiving brain f*rt where he wondered if mac and cheese was "a black thing" (what if it is, gimme some). He acted as though he'd never HEARD of the dish.

Re: He says he's not dead.
We could send Jimmy Carter over there, with his steller record of negotiating with that squalid regime. Un's father had, I believe, ten palaces. Each stocked with the most expensive delicacies known to man. This while literal piles of bodies could be found in cities outside of Pyonyang. As it stands now, every country in the world would shower the regime with food and other aid. The quid pro quo? Give up your nukes and don't share them with Iran or anybody else. That's too high a price to pay. Plus, our friends in Bejing LIKE the idea of a rogue, hard to predict regime in the region--giving the Japanese heart burn, among other things. The Chinese have no motive to rein in their little buddies, and wouldn't do it. Hillary stays home.
The regime will reach substantive deals with the west only if they see those deals as being in their own interest. Il put the military first and Un's unlikely to change that, Especially since he's a "four star general." And nothing on the horizon would be sufficiently in the regime's best interest to change the status quo.
The only thing that keeps NK from lobbing a nuke at Japan or the west coast of the United States (assuming they have a vehicle that could make the trip) is the certain knowledge that they would be committing national suicide. Just one Trident boat carries nearly two hundred modern, extremely accurate warheards. We could make NK disappear if we wanted to, and they know it. And their pals in Bejing couldn't stop it.
No member of the administration should appear at the funeral or any subsequent ceremonies.

To see the Army marching across the square, the sunlight glistening off their bayonets...
Match made in heaven right there.
Re: He says he's not dead.
Probably for the better. That one toilet in the only hotel with electricity would be crowded all the time with those international VIP's. Also saves governments from having to make excuses. It's like the old joke: first prize is a week in Pyongyang. Second prize is two weeks in Pyongyang. Ugh.

Re: He says he's not dead.
heh. It made an easy decision into a "no decision".
Kind of awkward when a government publicly says, "Thanks, but no thanks" to a head of state's funeral. Or, "ooooh sorry, that's bowling night for us."

"I've got to back flush my Water Pic." Especially tough for anyone from the US, since we don't have an embassy and might have to stay "on the economy" (see previous post about one toilet and no electricity).

Already insane, UAA making it worse
I'll take great solace in the fact that NK was turned into a parking lot while I'm floating in the upper atmosphere...

Perhaps, but then again, I don't think Castro would survive the trip.
