North Korea, what would happen if...

What would happen in North Korea if, say, Kim Jong and his thugs were mysteriously found dead on the train to Moscow? (we’ll say food poisoning). I know he already went and returned safely but this is hypothetical. What is the power structure in North Korea? it seems pretty mysterious to me. I’d like to think that if such an “unfortunate” event occurred that the regime would collapse and maybe those poor people could get some REAL assistance–in the form of radical economic reforms.

Any thoughts from the Korea experts out there?

Yeah, let’s hear from the North Korean experts. They’ve been waiting perhaps for months to field just such a question. There are so many though that it will be hard to get them to agree.

What-ifs don’t fit very well in GQ, especially if they’re highly unlikely to come to pass. Off to MPSIMS.
