So the story that Jong-un is in a coma is blowing up, and a basically identical story blew up several months ago, both times it was also reported how Kim Yo Jong took over.
This time it’s coming from especially bad sources like NY Post, and other similar places.
Bigger and more credible news outlets aren’t reporting the coma story right now, but they’ve been reporting that Kim Yo Jong has been getting more power delegated to her and all kinds of profiles about her.
Anyone has a clue what’s going on with this whole thing?
I have a feeling like there’s some truth to Jong-un’s poor health, and that this is some kind of effort to sabotage Kim Yo Jong as his successor or something.
Like, constantly reporting on her “growing influence” and how she “takes power” after Jong-un is incapacitated makes me feel like it’s done in a way to make her look power-hungry and opportunistic or something and maybe hurt her standing with NK leadership.
I don’t know if that makes sense honestly, cause why would anyone inside NK care what some news outlets in the west were saying, but I don’t know what else could be the reason for this many stories about this topic – maybe just pure clickbait bullshit with no agenda? IDK
It’s a baseless tabloid thing spun out by amerikan media to push the narrative that the DPRK is weak and about to collapse, and that A New Eviller Kim is in charge so amerikans are more receptive to invading it. It’s just taking clickbait and turning it into manufacturing of consent.
