How to solve this whole thing. Assassinate him. Get one or more of the generals to do it. He has no sons, so no real line of succession. What will happen, a coup. The various generals will jockey for control. In the interim it leaves a vacuum. He has a sister that is highly regarded but they won't let her succeed, not in that hyper patriarchal society.

 

The trick is getting it done. One possibly way? Make a deal with the Chinese to help. Let them know that they can help set up a puppet government as long as the nuke program is dismantled. Tell the South Koreans not to intervene. Basically make it a weaken state. Promise the generals food, meds, etc, surreptitiously if they do a coup. Let them know that the state will get far more with him dead than alive.

 

Cut off the head.

I think the Chinese are happy enough with the current situation. They effect some measure of control over DPRK in any case and while the attention of the USA is focused there it takes the heat off them. I'm sure they feel that if he got out of hand they could simply squish him at any time.

The Chinese want the North Korean regime to stay because its a buffer for their northeast border. If NK falls its the Korean version of the reunification of east and west Germany. SK actually has already drafted plans for unification. They see it as a when not if proposition.

 

China knows that if that happens its a USA ally on its border and by extension America is on their NE border. What I am proposing is secretly keeping NK in tact for the time being to allay the Chinese fears if Kim goes and the nuke program dissolves. Food and meds to replace their not having the program. Long term they are not sustainable.America, Japan and SK's biggest issue are the nuclear capabilities. That's the immediate and intermediate term issue.

 

As for the difficulty of assassinating him and Castro as the example. The CIA pretty much stopped trying to assassinate Castro 30 years ago. By the '80s America wasn't as concerned and certainly after the fall of the USSR their biggest trade partner, late '80s.

 

As Michael Corleone said if history as taught us anything is that anyone can get killed. Kim goes it sparks a power struggle among the generals. His uncle is gone and his sister won't be looked at in terms of succession. Maybe its not doable but I think its worth a try. Nothing else seems to work

The US and South Korea are reportedly building a special ops team to take out Kim Jong Un

 

 

Even though he's the supreme leader of his country, Kim Jong Un has reportedly been living like a hunted man out of fear that the US and South Korea are collaborating on a special forces team to take him out in case of a contingency.

 

South Korean intelligence services told lawmakers recently that the moves of US and South Korean forces make Kim "extremely nervous," according to the Korea Herald. Apparently, Kim has been riding in his subordinates' cars and making fewer public appearances.

 

In March, South Korean media reported that the US Navy's SEAL Team 6, the same group that pulled off the 2011 raid that killed Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan had arrived in South Korea for a joint-training exercise.

 

The Pentagon maintains that the US does not train for decapitation strikes of any kind, but with the threat from North Korea growing hotter every day, and civilian casualties like Otto Warmbier, it may be that its preparing a quick strike option in case of an untenable provocation from the Kim regime.

 

The US would not confirm the presence of Navy SEALs in South Korea, but it did announce the arrival of the USS Michigan, a submarine that sometimes carries special operations forces.

 

“Kim is so engrossed with collecting information about the ‘decapitation operation’ through his intelligence agency," Rep. Lee Cheol-woo told the Korea Herald.

 

Kim recently took the bold step of assassinating his half brother, Kim Jong Nam, in Malaysia, possibly to head off an outside attempt to install a new Kim governement in North Korea.

 

"Imagine you're the president. North Korea is a human-rights abuser and an exporter of dangerous technology," Ken Geers, a cybersecurity expert for Comodo with experience in the National Security Agency, previously told Business Insider. "Responsible governments really need to think about ways to handle North Korea, and one of the options is regime change."

 

But the fact remains that a raid on Kim's palace within North Korea would be much, much more difficult than the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. US forces would have to navigate air defenses in one of the most heavily protected spaces on earth as well as risking a nuclear response even if their mission is successful.

 

Nevertheless, the Korea Herald reports that the US and South Korea will have completed a team that can take out Kim and paralyze the country's command and control systems by the end of this year.
