Which - since Kim's children are far too young to run the country - brings our attention to the line of succession. As we noted earlier this week,
there are several potential successors to the throne. Since the founding of the modern state in the aftermath of the Korean War, the country has been ruled by the "Mt Paektu Bloodline", which comprises most of the mythos and cult of personality around the Kim family.
... the concerns that some in western intelligence have about Kim's sister, who has been seen more frequently in international news reports in recent years. The younger Kim, believed to be 31, is one of her brother's closest confidants and his de facto chief of staff. She has joined him at several high-profile international summits.
Unfortunately, to put it simply and straightforwardly,
many fear that Kim Yo Jong would be even more diabolical and hostile than her brother.
One reason for the anxieties about her hardline politics: Earlier this year, she issued a scathing political statement about South Korea in her own name, raising concerns that she was pushing back against her brothers purported efforts to deescalate the tensions on the peninsula, even as ‘expert’ after ‘expert’ has insisted that NK will never surrender its nukes.
If she takes the throne, would Kim’s younger sister instead send them flying across the Pacific? News this weekend that a mobile missile launcher has been deployed amidst the crisis of leadership certainly doesn’t make us feel less alarmed."
