In the American media there was a sensational information: according to reports from closed sources, the health of North Korean leader Kim Jong-UN has seriously deteriorated. The head of the DPRK was forced to miss one of the most important national holidays, the birthday of his grandfather Kim Il-sung, which only increased the number of rumors. However, experts analyzing the situation on the Korean Peninsula doubt the veracity of this information.
Why rumors about serious problems in Kim Jong-UN do not cause much confidence, “MK” said a leading researcher of the Center for Korean studies Institute of Far Eastern studies, Konstantin Asmolov.
“Let’s do this. When we are talking about rumors, we should start the conversation with mentioning the source of the rumors. And the sources we have until two,” – said the expert.
“the First is an unnamed American official, who recounts CNN, whose quality, to put it mildly, has fallen dramatically since then, as they are from information Agency became the Agency for the psychological war with trump.
the Second source is the so-called “Daily NK” is a Protestant organization that declares: “we Have exclusive sources in North Korea. Of course we will not tell you what kind of people, because they are then shot along with their families, but it is a very reliable sources that tell us the truth”.
If to speak about more serious sources: South Korea the rumors are confirmed, U.S. intelligence also confirms that American officials did not confirm. They of course politely said that studying this issue, but in fact it is a polite form of denial of the rumors. Well, again in the North Korea no serious action to strengthen the government in case of serious illness of the leader, either.
Every time there are rumors about North Korea, we must remember one fact. North Korea – a country democratic press can write anything. Because this thing is unverifiable, and probability of exposure there, and also because in the West, North Korea is accustomed to perceive as Mordor, and the audience is ready for any rumors, including the fact that there are human sacrifices giant smearable.
as for the information about what Kim Jong UN did not attend the celebration in honor of his grandfather. He could really get sick. Or could twist an ankle in 2014. Then he went to personally verify the obstacle course and according to one version strained my tendon. After this he was for some time disappeared from view. All the experts, without stop guessing: this is a coup, a secret death, or something else, and after some time he appeared with a cane for some time went with her, and then stopped. Just Kim Jong-UN – TA personality, which in the case of any three-day absence causes a wave of rumors.
to Speculate on the topic of who will lead North Korea in case Kim Jong-UN makes no sense. There is no need to divide a skin of not killed bear. But if anything, North Korea has a younger sister, quite well cope with their responsibilities. According to unofficial information, it is responsible for promoting the image of the country. The SIS shows that the girl fighting. Even Kim Jong-UN has an older brother, but he chose to make music and not politics. Although at one time it too was preparing to govern the country, but looks like he’s not going to return to politics.”
