Kim Jong Un: What If America Just Assassinated North Korea's Dangerous Dictator?

[DemolitionMan]

by Daniel R. DePetris

Putting Kim six feet underground is only one choice in a set of options that the National Security Council will present to President Trump for his consideration. It may even be a policy option that is so far outside the mainstream that Trump’s national-security aides would disabuse him of studying it further. Reaction from Beijing would be swift and unyielding, and as much as the South Korean and Japanese governments would like North Korea to behave more predictably, it’s not at all certain that Seoul and Tokyo would believe that assassinating the men at the top would achieve that objective.

History is littered with failed American assassination attempts on world leaders.

Hire MOSSAD to do the job.
Their track record is somewhat better...  ;)

And the successful ones you never heard about. They just simply passed away. ;)

The Russkies are pretty good at it too, and they're likely to do it back if we take out fat boy.

They have a class act of assasinating people. They spike radioactive materials in someones coffee. Kim Jung Il takes the cake. He has very inventive ways of killing people. He had 11 musicians killed with an anti aircraft gun.

There should be no evidence of who assassinated him. Let that go unanswered. Just quietly make him dead.

I guess Polonium is a nasty way to go.

Slowly dying from radiation poisioning with no cure.

If he knows he's going to die in days, ordering the destruction of cities gets pretty easy for these types. Nothing to lose.

Better he dies quickly.
