It should be interesting for a bit, until one of his sons is officially elevated and things stabilize. I guess the one most expected to take power is Kim Jong Un.

(Though I suppose it's always possible that things go completely batshit.)

I'm kinda freaked out about this.  NK tends to create external problems to distract from internal ones.

What he said. I can see them sinking a couple of South Korean navy ships just to keep the mess inside the country from being under the microscope. Afterwards they will spend their time rattling swords and making threats. Same shit, different day.
