North Korea's Kim Jong-un has purged his uncle in spectacularly public fashion for various offences including the crime of 'dreaming different dreams'.

Previous purges have been low key, but this was all over the N.Korean state press. Is KJ-U going to turn out even more hardline than his predecessors?

as is often the case of kids raised in the purple, i'm sure he will flame out in a spectacularly insane fashion.

update: Thaek has been executed.

one of these days someone is going to usurp power from that family and it's going to set off a "no I'M sparracus" bullshit-fest with all the top generals.

it'll be glorious.

Probably one of the other generals will end up shooting this kid. His uncle was probably just trying to keep him in line.

maybe, just maybe this will kick off a chain of events that will end up ending or changing the NorK regime in a good way.

or it just tightens the chubby-ones grip on the country.

I'm betting something hyperlulzy will be the result of this.
