Kim Jong Un's sister takes control in North Korea

The corporate style socialism you mention is actually known as fascism. Fascism is the most extreme far right of the ideological spectrum.

I disagree, Fascism is dependent on nationalism to maintain status quo. This crap in the USA stands in support of globalism. Take the most recent depression (I'm calling it what is), DC was very vocal in decrying any sort of national protectionism. Major corporations were very vocal in decrying any sort of US-based national protectionism. The PEOPLE and even some of America's most wealthy begged for national protectionist measures to be taken. I have said for 6 years now that TARP and "Too Big To Fail" didn't just change the rules, it destroyed the rules. The West entered a new era sporting a political and economic model that had never been seen in the world before. The other piece of evidence saying it isn't fascism is that the lower class is being entirely subsidized by the middle and upper class. There's socialism for those making under $50k a year, corporate socialism for all major companies (depending on their political contributions, of course), and crushing taxation on everyone over $50k a year to buttress the two. IT'S CRAP. And get out of here with the far left/far right garbage. Far Right politics dictate that Everyone (companies and individuals) is allowed to fall flat on their face if they cannot support themself. That is not what we're seeing today at all... and we're far worse off because we're not seeing it. No company should be considered "too big to fail" and no individual should be considered "too important to fail", neither should any company or individual be entitled to subsidization from tax dollars simply because "they exist."

Oh good lord , could you imagine the Spawn of Dennis Rodman ruling over NK ??

There is probably going to be a cat fight between North and South Korea as both country leaders are woman.

Yes. Then Angela Merckel will come in and referee. The ghost of Margaret Thatcher will witness.

And Bill Clinton will petition for UN goodwill ambassador status to fly over there and get a piece of that action.

I think it would be best if we take this report with a grain of salt. North Korea rarely comments on matters involving the leadership, and we all know how reliable the South Korean media is at reporting on the North...

Regardless, if the events are to be believed, Kim Yo-jong will only be ruling temporarily. It is likely that once Kim Jong-Un recovers, he will resume leadership. In saying this, it will be highly unlikely that any significant change will occur under Kim Yo-jong. All governmental matters are currently going through her, but you can bet your bottom dollar that she is still consulting with Kim Jong-Un on important matters.

I believe Daas is right here.A substitute teacher in for a couple of days.No policy changes whatsoever.And I would think shes being watched for any plans she may have in her brothers absence.

I just had an"Jeesh" moment. This is NK. Really. Who cares?

a reply to: daaskapital

She has to follow brother's lead for fear of his recovery. If she screws up, she will be fed to the starving dogs!

I do find it curious that she called for the meeting though. And, little man told the military leaders to follow his previous orders. Like, don't listen to her, stick to the plan, mmmmkay.

lets hope his sister is not HALF the tyrant he is.

That's sexist. I believe a woman is fully qualified for the role and can absolutely fulfill the expectations of being a megalomaniacal dictator... she's just going to only get half the pay her brother recieved.

Half the pay but 10,000 more pairs of shoes and her make-up and hairdressing will be tax deductible.

Cheers - Dave

Okay, she's definitely not a toad.

Apparently the little leader has gout, brought on by his swiss cheese addiction. Oh, curse you first world problems in the third world.

Eating cheese may help prevent gout.

130 million Japanese, 50 million Koreans and 1300 million Chinese but you are right who cares

a reply to: burdman30ott6

No offense to women but the first day the "RAG" comes to visit then it spells doom on the region. (I hope not)

So, there are ways to get into North Korea right?

Hook up with her and I get a country!

What can I say? She's cute. Now let's see if she's as out of touch with reality as the rest of her family.

Ay'e shes cute all right and looks kind. Maybe a female touch is required there

There appears to be some confusion. Isn't that a picture of his wife, not his sister?

This is reportedly a photo of his sister. Not sure if it's the same girl already posted or not. I don't think so, but not sure.
