State media said the younger Kim had been named chairman of the party's Central Military Commission and a standing member of the Politburo.

Here is Kim being congratulated on raising his arm.

Oh dear, here we go again. I wonder if this is anything to do with the sabre rattling that is going on at the moment. If the soon to be released "missile" heads in the wrong direction, do you think that he will have ultimate command of any decisions (military) that happen afterwards?

Silly little boy. Can he really be taken seriously by the western world? He's not far out of nappies?

It's not him who wields power, it's friends of his old man that have been helping with the running of the country and suppression of the people. He's a figurehead, that's about it.

IMO...

Sitting here racking my brain trying to think of what other county or countries I have heard this said about. What was the name of the country in North America again?

Nearly every country has a similar construct, save military juntas or dictatorships. But in all cases, it's a collective, because there will never be a single person that can run a country without any allies.

In the cases where power is disproportionately resting on one person's shoulders, you tend to see a lot of paranoia in the ruler and a lot of bodies show up in and out of their close cabinets....

Quite right of course..for now.

Of course, if his father taught him well, he will be actively grooming people in the slightly lower ranks. He will then "find evidence" of a coup planned by the old guard...and then a purge will take place. Actual guilt will not be a factor in the arrests, of course...it will all just be a stunt to demonstrate that he is in charge - and that he has ears and eyes everywhere.

Here are some more titles they may wish to consider conferring.

Chancellor of the Bouncedchequer
Supreme Field Marshmallow of the Armed Forces
Lord of the Ringdings

It is good to see that Kim Jong Un has reduced in scope from the 'Supreme Leader' legacy. There are many long term and short term jobs in the government and it is expected that Kim would go for one of the longer term positions. North Korea is looking more politically ready to proceed with unification.

** This is a 100% guess with no supporting facts **

I don't think the apple fell far from the tree on this one.

Just checking...but this is sarcasm right?

He has "reduced in scope"? "ready to proceed with unification"?

Okay....

Meetings Held to Elect Delegates to WPK Conference Pyongyang, April 2

(KCNA) -- Meetings of the party committees of the Korean People's Army, all the provinces (political bureau), cities (district) and counties were successfully held to elect delegates to the Fourth Conference of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK). The meetings elected Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of the WPK, state and army, as a delegate to the Fourth WPK Conference, reflecting the unanimous will and desire of all the party members, service personnel and people.

www.kcna.kp...

Only last week or so he had the title 'the supreme leader of the WPK, state and army'. If you have a look at the political structure of NK it has been progressing to more democratic standards. eng.unikorea.go.kr...

There are still a few more issues to sort out but people are still chipping away at it.

While applaud for reunification process my concern is that it may lead to this
