Report: Kim fears coup if he travels to Singapore for Trump summit
By Rick Moran

North Korea is far more than a run of the mill dicatorship. It is a paranoid gangster state, enormously corrupt, with various factions always at odds as they jostle for power.

This much is basically public knowledge. But behind the scenes, even the supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, feels threatened. And there is apparently a feeling among the top leadership in North Korea that if Kim attends the Singapore summit with Donald Trump, the military will take advantage of his absence to stage a coup.

The stakes for the coup plotters couldn't be higher. Execution by mortar round or anti aircraft cannon fire.

That could be if they don't clap or laugh at the right time.

Maybe one of his 'Purges' is in order?  And, the reason for the possible Summit delay?

I believe China hates the thought of losing their yapping Chihuahua, and told him so.

I thought he was a little god.  Apparently not to those who actually know him.

It's difficult to 'read' China.   They just unilaterally lowered their tariffs on certain products and indicate they don't wish a 'Trade War' with Pres. Trump.

The general feeling is that Kim had his a$$ handed to him by Ping after the mountain site collapse and radiation leak.

He doesn't want to end up like Libya's Gaddafi and wishes to introduce China-style version of Capitalism to calm his People and his enemies.

He's visited China without much trouble.

Definitely way up there in government corruption, it is among the most dark red nations on the corruption map:

Well sure. His craziness and his nuclear experiments were affecting China, right next door. I guess they finally got fed up with it.

It's not difficult to read China at all.  They're anxiously pursuing their Made In China 2025 agenda and trying to secure economic zones in their immediate sphere of influence.  The South China Sea has large reserves of oil and gas.  North Korea is said to have trillions in untapped resources.  They certainly don't want Kim turning it into a wasteland of useless, contaminated rocks. They'd also rather we had a limited naval presence in the area to avoid complications with their plans in the Nine Dash Line region.

I believe it was Kwai Chang or maybe it was Li Keqiang who said, "He (rocketman) is bad for business".
