Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Choose one:

A) Getting shot down over Russia by some drunk and untrained air defense crew

B) The North Korean plane falls apart midair because it hasn't been serviced since 1960

Doesn't want to risk having a pilot take one for the team and play the lawn dart game with him on board.

So I am mildly hopeful the trip will be so long, at arrival Jong Un will eat Pootin alive. Go Kim Go!

Ukrainian secret service should try to cover Putin in cheese as he meets Kim to make this more likely.

Serious question for anyone who knows NK politics... What would happen to NK's government if that train exploded?

I believe his younger sister, Kim Yo-Jong, would make a try for the seat.

He was in a coma or some shit for a while before he emerged back in public having lost a ton of weight. So probably not much. I believe his sister was running things while he was away. This is all speculation of course. They would never admit he was sick.
