Maybe his just afraid to go out because you know the news tends to over exaggerate the pandemic. But if he really contracted the disease wouldn't it be a blessing in disguise as the tyranny and fascism ends in North Korea. Though there are still no revolution taking place if he's really ill, im sure some people are sick and tired of dictatorship.
That's not how it works. For all we know an even worse nutjob could take over and launch nukes into Japan. The population has lived under this regime for three generations and is almost completely isolated. It's quite possible that the vast majority of them genuinely believe that Kim is god and that their communist shithole is the greatest country in the world.
This is what US intelligence has been saying for awhile actually. They said for a long time that they were open to regime change in Tehran (Iran) because they felt that there were other groups readily available that would be able to takeover the country and unite it. Yet again, this is US intelligence talking who has ruined many nations by toppling them -- but it may be true to a certain extent.
They've said that they worked with North Korea a bit more due to the fact that they didn't someone who could takeover there and not be more of a threat.
May all just be BS b/c we know that NK has nukes and Iran doesn't. But just wanted to point that one out.
