Just an update on all of this - Kim Jong Un has reemerged into the public light, he's been seen in pictures walking through a Fertilizer factory and smoking. People have confirmed that the pictures/video are authentic.

So -- unless he's still suffering from the Coronavirus, which I highly doubt now, the guy is fine and all of this was media panic. Pompeo even said that Kim Jong Un has had extended breaks away from the public before.

Maybe his just afraid to go out because you know the news tends to over exaggerate the pandemic. But if he really contracted the disease wouldn't it be a blessing in disguise as the tyranny and fascism ends in North Korea. Though there are still no revolution taking place if he's really ill, im sure some people are sick and tired of dictatorship.

That's not how it works. For all we know an even worse nutjob could take over and launch nukes into Japan. The population has lived under this regime for three generations and is almost completely isolated. It's quite possible that the vast majority of them genuinely believe that Kim is god and that their communist shithole is the greatest country in the world.

This is what US intelligence has been saying for awhile actually. They said for a long time that they were open to regime change in Tehran (Iran) because they felt that there were other groups readily available that would be able to takeover the country and unite it. Yet again, this is US intelligence talking who has ruined many nations by toppling them -- but it may be true to a certain extent.

They've said that they worked with North Korea a bit more due to the fact that they didn't someone who could takeover there and not be more of a threat.

May all just be BS b/c we know that NK has nukes and Iran doesn't. But just wanted to point that one out.

From one of the many tweets an hour after the initial news broke but had not been confirmed as north korea are information lockdown experts.

Just remember that the news source that you're quoting is OANN (or at least the person on twitter) One America News. Farther right then Fox and probably isn't too reliable. If it comes true then great, but I'd like to see a story like this coming out of all the major networks I'd have a bit more faith.

Intelligence is just going to keep monitoring this. NK is going to try to shield as much info as possible about this. Their supreme leader who is pretty much a god getting the Coronavirus and being close to death isn't going to be too easy for the gov to explain to the people. The people probably don't know actually.

This'll take a few days.

Even if they deny it just because it is north korea, the iron curtain, it could be possible.

Someone was saying this was first of trending on twitter. Embarrassed

Title of thread [Reuters say Kim Jong has possibly contracted covid 19]
is just a speculation since there isn't any reference about COVID19 in this press provided by REUTERS.

Quote
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was not seriously ill, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said citing a government official on Tuesday, contradicting a CNN report he was in “grave danger” after a surgery.

I've seen this story pop up and there's been tons of contradictory claims. Chinese intelligence (doesn't matter honestly, I consider this BS) and South Korean intelligence agencies have said that he's not seriously ill.

That's not contradicting the claim about him being ill or about him having the coronavirus. They're pretty much just saying that he's not on the bring of death like some are claiming. In the coming days we're going to find out what is true and what isn't. But those doctors in North Korea are probably on the brink of death if he can't be treated.

@rdbase in my personal opinion he’s recovered and he’s fine, but conspiracy theorists are weaving this story and taking advantage of the fact that he missed the parade. Also I’m sincerely hoping that he survives this, as the last thing this world needs is to let North Korea’s nukes fall in the wrong hand.
