The son who is expected to replace him is a "diabetic heavy drinker who suffers from hypertension"

This raises an interesting question.

Let us say, for the sake of argument, that the dear leader falls off his perch suddenly and his son isn't up to the task.

1. Would the N Koreans rise up against him (unlikely IMHO - they're starving)

2. Would the N Korean military rise us and turn the country into a militarocracy?

Assuming 1. (or 2., if they open the borders) would there be a major rush into China / S Korea?

Maybe nows the time to ban shipments of anti-cancer drugs to N. Korea.
