Thinking about what happens with North Korea if Kim Jong Un dies suddenly.
He& #39;s relatively young. He& #39;s assassinated most of his relatives. He& #39;s purged the old guard, and anyone too openly ambitious or tight with China.
He has a sister, but she& #39;s never shown any ambition.

Anyway, I don& #39;t think it will be too terrible for the world or anything, I don& #39;t think NK goes nuts and bombs anyone or anything. I don& #39;t even think they& #39;ll have a civil war.
But sadly...I don& #39;t think they& #39;ll have freedom either. And I think their lives will remain shitty.

Oh and the whole cult of that family won& #39;t immediately end.
Though with technology smuggling and most importantly the exposure of outside culture (South Korean television shows, western media, etc) they aren& #39;t entirely ignorant of the world.
