North Korea in leadership reshuffle

North Korea has reshuffled its top leadership at a rare second session of its parliament, state media says.

Top leader Kim Jong-il attended the session, KCNA news agency said, after missing the previous one on 9 April.

Choe Yong-rim replaced Kim Yong-il as premier - the official responsible for the communist state's economic policy.

Something appears to be happening in North Korea. Is this the start of the progression towards the succession of "Dear Leader" son to the top seat?

Whatever is going on appears to be a surprise. Nothing foreshadowing this from the news. I will check the DRPK website and see what they are saying.

I'm not surprised, I'm just they are just preparing for Kim's death.

I would assume that once he is gone the country might actually want to come out to the world and become a partner and not an enemy.

Time will tell...

Don't know how I missed that one. But it looks like the DRPK news missed it too.

Maybe that's the real story.

Nice post...there is so many threads in the news these days, that it really is
hard to make heads or tails of anything. Especially when the coin lands in the media mud. One thing is for certain,it appears that for some reason a certain
someone(s) did not want to finish the job way back when. So, to this day
the issue remains a pimple on the rear ends of everyone involved.

On one hand it keeps the Military/Industrial/Geopolitical machine cranking
away in high gear. On the other, it has been a costly waste to all parties
involved and a stone in the shoe for every elected official to this day.

I Think China-North Korea

U.S.A.- Taiwan Trade off? Lets move on.

I am all ears to new ideas/history of fixing this Quagmire....
