Kim Jong II's Death - What is the future of North Korea?

[vikings11091]

Hahahah no north korea wont be able to do anything. People are always hacking their tvs to see south korean tv. Theyll all find out and byby north korea.

[MrAudiman7]

Kim Jong II son will take over and they will try to attack USA or possibly try taking over USA

[xMIDGETDANCEx]

he was 69 wen he died hahaahahahahahahahahahaha

[boulbahaiem]

he will continui as his father but soon north correa will get problem with the outside world cause of not respecting the humanrights condition.

messages should be send to north correa trough air with baloons or so so that the north correans know the truth.

god bless you with your work.

[Saburov2]

@boulbahaiem does saudi arabia respect humanrights? But you're allied whit them.

[MrBulbasaurrr]

@boulbahaiem yah man. we need to send our messages to correa with balloons. we also need to send troops to irock.

[ConvoyyHD]

@boulbahaiem You need to spell Korea right.

[Jazzy5006]

It's highly possible America will step in and attempt to set up a democracy. As we've done with other countries before

[drdylful]

YOUR SO AWSOME AND MAKEN ME LEARN!!!!

[olive131000]

i wonder......lol ur so funny but why don't you show your hot face?!?!

[myorkanis]

They don't know anything else how would they riot against someone who brainwashed their own people. Sickening

[PrettyPoisonousChick]

i hope South Korea invades North Korea so that the U S of A can finish the war that never truely ended =D ....Capitalism? Communism? Begining of World War III? Conspiracy smh

[incredibleCANADIAN]

His son is just as fucking crazy

[garthlenin]

Relax theres no chaos , they dont need all of them to afraid of . its the Party and the heir will do the job , though many think he has no experience , you see example kim also not known when his father il sung died .

[comeontheramseys]

no harm to every one commenting but thank god he is dead one less north korean in this world we cant celebrate to the rest is dead. anyways i dont think there will be anychange i think yes his son will take over but he has been brainwashed since he was a child as was the rest ov the country they are zombies. the only thing that can sort north korea out is a nuclear weapon being droped in the middle ov it then we would make progress

[NervousPortuguese]

In other countries people are oppressed and they understand this has an offense to their rights, their health and wealth. So they could possibly rebel against their government. In North Korea they when a child grows enough to understand, they learn to be obedient, to give grace for their "benefactor", their leader. There are illustrative books showing Kim Jong Il, embracing children. as others learn, to eat well, to brush their teeth and stuff like that, in Korea they learn to be devoted.

[NervousPortuguese]

I'm not reading other's comments as my comment is strictly for you, Jacob.

Yes, you have a point when saying that in North Korea they have little or no information regarding the outside world, but, although Kim Jong Il's sudden death, his doctrine will endure, will remain, at least for some generations. Even if Kim Jong Il son has a different vision of his father, in fact I don't believe in this statement, but, just to sort things up. So I doubt there will be a rebellion,

[mrfull360]

idont need an education to know that S.O.B is dead

[ChaZabalou]

What the difference between the Communism & Capitalism?

[YoshiTheGreenOne]

kim jong un will take over i guess he was presented as succesor al while ago and the reason i think nothing change is because NK is such an isolated country no one inside knows anything about the outside world they think that the DPRK is heaven on earth also look back into history when kim il sung died his son took over (kim jong il)

[aymiesam]

Things always change eventually, but I think the situation in NK is quite unique. I believe itt will take a long time...I doubt his top General's and advisors will want change.

[RadioOperator01]

I dunno I mostly feared that Kim Jong Un will either follow his fathers steps , closing the "door to the west" and keep on being and even worse since he is young and since these events occured he'd be very easily manipulated by Kim Jong il's generals so...this could either end up good or very bad. We live in dark times my friends so...only time will tell us.

[kingofftheworld260]

@RadioOperator01 Kim Jong Un will be controlled by Chang Sung taek at least for now, I think whoever takes the power has to take care of economy first, hopefully they will reform their country like China.

[ChaZabalou]

@RadioOperator01

i don't think the son won't follow his father's footsteps brcause he is smarter than that maybe he wants his fellow citizen to be free and encourage tourism over there.

[OTrAiN37]

Who gives a Shit!

[RonSafreed]

That is true there are no cell phones, internet, outside information&it is illegal for any North Korean to talk to outsiders, but these liberturd lefties "love North Korea". Why don't they emigrate there-a worker's communist paradise?

[mikeakaspike]

The North Koreans won't roit.. they are completely imasculated, and brainwashed, unfortunately.. There are concentration camps, work death camps, not too much unlike WW2 nazi camps.. but the world is too busy to notice or care... It's terrible. I'm really hoping that good comes from this situation.

[nomi108]

DONT say u are made up to be the enemies, never say u are fkin innocent....u have made enemies u tyrant ameicans

[MrRipperSkillz]

They are not going to riot, it just won't happen. And I can't imagine the leadership is in complete and utter chaos unless they completely lacked any foresight whatsoever. The guy was pretty old and had some pretty significant health problems he was clearly going to die at some point so they must have planned for it.

[mixmastermeeks]

The people in NK are not going to rise up. They have no idea what the outside world looks at. They are all probably wondering what new standards their new "dear leader" is going to have for purging and they are hoping they don't qualify.

[Seapaddler]

There is probably less than 1% chance his son will do the right thing and get his country out of the 1950's.

[leighrebecca44]

Theyre not brainwashed. This how they were all raised. This was how they were taught and how they taught their children and its not going to change unless someone starts to think differently which would be very rare considering its against their upbringing. they dont know any better

[AntonUralskiy]

The people of North Korea are more brainwashed than the militant muslims in Egypt and Afghanistan. My dad, who nowadays is a strong anti-communist, was weeping when Stalin died... the whole Soviet Union was weeping! My dad was 12 in 1953. So yes, the tears of North Koreans aren't fake or forced -- they are just THAT brainwashed... and they WILL be brainwashed even when they finally open up.

Here in Russia many of us still love and worship Stalin. Pathetic herd of sheep, if you ask me.

[Seapaddler]

@AntonUralskiy Interesting insight. I don't know how much I've read about Stalin is true but it's hard to imagine anyone feeling patriotic about him. He was a monster, surely the Russian people know this.

[AntonUralskiy]

@Seapaddler

Believe it or not, it's true, and it scares me. And it's not just the older folks, but the young people too! They long for communism and tend to think that those millions killed by Stalin were worth the economic breakthrough Stalin had organized.

Fools.

[highwalker339]

in my opinion, i feel that in some way both north and south korea might reunite. but i feel its unlikely

[paulspydar]

I think the whole situation is great for You-tube up-loaders with no unique ideas to express, & I rate his death as a Thumbs up & 5 gold stars.

But his death was no surprise , the clue was in his name "il"

[lojafan]

First, there will be no "rise" from the people. They are too brainwashed and afraid. If one were to happen, it would be from the military. Second, you live in a country where its people fear the government. The US isn't really that free anymore.

[Saburov2]

at least he did'nt invade any other country, don't use two atom bombs to kill civilians. Only defend his country from imperialist aggression.

[ToddnJessa]

@Saburov2 No, they only invaded the south which was opposed to the juche leader worship that Kim's father blanketed the whole nation with. They only had to defend the country from "imperialist aggression" when they decided to invade. The war could easily end if your logic was correct. Ask South Korea if they would like to bow down to their true Kim master. As soon as they agree to this, the war is over.

[Torres74d]

WW3 FUCK YESS!

[MetalAnimeSword]

I am sure this man wrote down, in a note or video, "in case of my death...."

[ChrisS1mp]

Or ofcourse nothing comes of it and no change happens which might be the easiest option for them for now.

[ChrisS1mp]

I think this can only be good for Korea and the west as it's been rumoured before that his son isn't as bad and hopefully he'll be able to work something out, but then again with China being their biggest allie he might feel he needs to keep them happy. So either there'll be reform from the country or a civil war now that the people know that their "god" has died.

[TheIRayzer]

So all I have to say is that the storyline of the game "Homefront" is unraveling. Just look on wikipedia for what´s gonna happen in the next 20 years......Youll be marking my words.....

[TBoneProductionsVB]

@TheIRayzer Yea eerie similarity in "Homefront", but read the game Development part of the article. They say it is just plausible but unlikely, and that it was originally written that the Chinese who would be the invaders in the game. The game may be pretty similar but don't get to worked up by it. Comparing global reports and looking for facts between propaganda of different sources and getting first person accounts is your best bet but tricky with the NK curtain.

[ONSITEAUTOBODY]

AMERICA IS IN BIGGER TROUBLE NOW

ONCE AMERICA GETS THAT KID PISSED OFF , AMERICA WILL BE IN DEEP SHIT,

[Ashlenrox53]

The only subject that comes to mind when you mention the government of Korea is George Orwell's book 1984. I fear that the minds of the people might be so brainwashed that they will believe anything that the "great leader" says. Just like the party members of 1984. In the oligarchic dictatorship of Korea the people are frightened of Kim Jung Il but now that they have a chance to change their government, I wonder if the people will even have enough knowledge of the world beyond their own to do so

[TheFriendlyBeluga]

I think the only thing that would happen is that they would invade South Korea or something rash like that, but I don't think there would be rebellion. They love their leader too much.

[TheEbc89]

whats hapening in north korea ?????

[Rottwhaler82]

Nothing will happen. They're totally indoctrinated over there in Northkorea and even if they would be willing to riot. They can't. They are separated ba borders and fences to prevent something like this could even happen, Inside their own fucking country. Kim Yong Ill was a nutcase. But he made sure things will go on for his freakish son like they are. Time will prove if this spawn of evil will succeed...

[astrofrk]

Did you see the size of his son? Now I know why the North Koreans are starving!

[chivas7569]

ww3 delay or ww3 ignition.

[oswaldopcabrera]

OMG!!! HOMEFRONT IS REAL (XBOX 360, PS3 AND PC)

[lilblake90]

@Jacob. North Korea had/has a really bad case of being fed constant propaganda, just like we in America do (what with constant commercials and whatnot). However, there are rumors that Kim Jongun might not be fit to lead North Korea. Or, as one of my friends point out, he could very well try and start a war *hopefully not*. It is also very possible that one of his fellow member could try to take power. Who knows? Maybe he'll open up. The coming months will be very interesting.

[lilblake90]

also, North Korea's government is doubtful to be in chaos. They have been shown (in propaganda at least) to be able to handle deaths. Not just that, you forget Jacob that they are usually starved people. This isn't like Egypt or the Arab Spring. Not even close. In North Korea, the government can quit literally wipe everyone without if they feel they must, and not even bother to bat an eyelash.

[jbrah69]

just another thing to add to the illusion of time passing by faster than ever this past decade leading up to 2012.

[izalwaysright]

lmao he died at 69 anywho if theirs a war it'll be a fucking huge one anndddd i'll see some of you on the front lines

[tycz29]

Fuck u Americans! Dont act like u care for the people in the world, North Korea do not have any oil. So u may not attack, right? Dont think u r different with the leaders in North Korea, U killed more people who are common people! Where is the war where is USA!

[OLB420]

i heard legitly that they are going to nuke the united nations. when he died

[super00su]

@Thestaticage93 Yup just watched it.

[super00su]

@Jacob No change in NK, sorry his son will take power. You have to under stand China will never let us at it door step. We would have won the Korea war if was not for china intervention. There is a big difference between Asian culture and Middle East culture.

[RedSeaBoi]

You wonder why people around the world hate you assholes, take a look at Egypt Eritrea Palestine Iraq Afghanistan and all your other evil puppets around the world. Now you guys ready to bomb Iran too.

[monster9630]

i heard kim jong il's son is anti communist so lets hope north korea unites peacefully instead of shooting nukes to salute his deceased father

[KamikaziXavier]

they are just gonna cry and the kid will try to rule

[sasquatchkiller262]

shit is gonna go down like in homefront

[Zarhejo]

Well... it is certainly not looking good. His son is not even thirty, and the military elite of the country won't sit quietly being ruled by someone they deem unfit...

[Dubwilcox]

Thanks for your thoughts.

[Posterdude95]

anyone else reminded of homefront?

[Grunt922]

@Posterdude95 i was just thinking that. but north korea doesnt have THAT much power. our allies would not and could not abandon us because theyre dependent on us.

[waldentree]

Probably nothing will happen except the Korean stock market going down.. hopefully.

[azurescens420]

I love the DPRK

[makokun9]

@azurescens420 And I love cholcolate.

[Jacob]

@BobinatorLulz Dude I can't tell if your on some drugs are being serious.

[FTSkthxdie]

@Jacob I wouldn't think @BobinatorLulz is being crazy... For all we know, Kim Jong-il could still be alive, or he could have long been dead.

[als510]

@Jacob Looks like sarcasm to me.

[TheFriendlyBeluga]

@Jacob I think he's a troll. XD

[Saburov2]

@Jacob maybe you are under a capitalism drug effect. Did you consider it?

[agtw12345]

@Jacob IMPERALIST

[Psilocybong420]

@Jacob No drug makes people that stupid

[izalwaysright]

@BobinatorLulz ? what are you smoking

[chivas7569]

@BobinatorLulz i get it bro dont worry :)

[bonydmonixz]

@BobinatorLulz What one earth are you talking about?

[Petrhrabal]

@BobinatorLulz he looked dead even if he was alive...

[khorn1994]

@BobinatorLulz hes dead you dumbass.

[eliezerberry]

@BobinatorLulz [in my John Cleese voice] He's not resting! Look, matey, I know a dead despot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now

[Chewkkie]

Good to hear that comments are open, i'm also curious as to the fate of Korea, and what affect it will have on South Korea, let's watch this open up.

[Jacob]

@Chewkkie I hope America doesn't get into the mood of "Hmmm We should 'intervene' into this to help 'protect' everyone."

[Chewkkie]

@Jacob Ah, good thinking, or at least, relevant. I'm sure they'll leave North Korea alone, yet they probably will let the respective local governments have their say first. Now, on the topic of intervention, I'm worried for the same thing, I'm Canadian, so it's not my place to argue your guys' tactics, yet the military's need to always "help" is just bad.

[3ll3qpEllE]

@Jacob well u can expect they will try! However its funny that all these great "changes" occure so close to 2012....

[RocketR38]

@Jacob I hope they do actually. This will finally draw China into the decider and end the power struggle in the pacific. Provided Russia plays it smart and backs the U.S we should be ok and see the end of communist dictatorships in Asia. Bring on WW3 in late 2012 i say!

[Magicmichael66]

@Jacob haha I agree

[whowhatwhereandwhy31]

FUCKING HOMEFRONT!!!

[J95X3RNVY]

Nothing will happen.

[TotalGameMaster]

Hopefully north korea does open up then maybe the people could revolt and a more stable better goverment will take form.
