One moment you will be seeing on TV that N.Koreans are weeping , screaming hysterically over their dictator's death & at the other side of NK people are risking their lives to escape .

i think his son will be worst. they pick his third son whos like only 20+? and got little political knowledge and experience. There will be a mentor which doesnt make it any better i believe since i bet he would just follow everything the mentor says. i read somewhere the reason why They didnt pick the first and 2nd son was bcos the were too 'soft', not stern enough. Maybe they were afraid the two sons would bring down the communist regime...

@Raptorx007 wow your a good stereotypical american

[Pvjinflight]

@Raptorx007 Probably there would come just new leaders to their place.

@Raptorx007 People leave Mexico every day to America, only thing they face is bullets and a hard criminal life when they enter America, this ain't any fucking different from North Korea. DPRK is just poor like Mexico, that's why people dissapear. Assassinating their leader would just erupt in World War 3 with China and Russia bombing NATO and USA back to the fucking stone age. Not that I have anything against that

This sucks. No subtitles when they are talking? I don't know what they are saying. That would've been cool to hear what they are saying.

@paulspydar Right, but police might be corrupted there, it might also depends on their wallet

[Raptorx007]

Fucking retarded leaders. US or NATO should take out the leaders not with power but precise pression assassination on the leaders. I feel sorry for the Korean people who live in a imprissoned country.

[IAmSuchANerdLol]

@paulspydar They have an accent.

If they do a paper check and pass, it's because the checker pitied them.

But to answer your question, Chinese and Korean are nothing alike.

@paulspydar i was thinking the same thing, they have a different language and they are ethnically different...
