Assasination?

Can there be serious doubt that this was an assassination by North Korean agents?

[EDDIE51]

You can't just buy VX at the local chemist, it is very difficult to produce and highly unstable ! Needs a dedicated laboratory.

[douglas9401]

It can though, apparently, be administered by fruity young ladies in dubious attire without harming them.
All the assailants have to do is wash their hands afterwards?

More (or less) to come on this over time, but nobody really cares or the lardy one in North Korea would have been fed to his own dogs long ago.

I confess that I thought that this thread would be about Trump. :-(

I am not sure what the north Koreans have to gain from the assassination but I, too, feel that it was instigated by the government of north Korea as a result of an order by their leader.

[mikey4444]

No !

[waterboatman]

No doubt whatsoever.

[youngmafbog]

It would certainly seem to be so given the new evidence.

What have North Koreans got to gain from it - Nowt, but that does not stop the fat one from murdering his family does it?

[ubasses]

What have North Koreans got to gain from it - he was the older son and traditionally should have been made leader, but was not chosen by his father. Younger brother probably thought that he would get rid, just in case he returned and tried to oust him.

yeah hankie soaked in VX and they got him to breathe a bit

I thought it was a contact poison ( kills when dropped on the skin as well as breathed ) - so the leddies must've worn gloves to avoid being killed

the teevee channels have cut the scene where he goes up to four airport personnel and mimes ( I am sure speaks as well) the hankie attack and you can see them saying to each other-

1. what dat ?
2. woss he say den ?
3. wot dat hankie dat ? hankie on face dat true den ? wot ? yeah
4. yeah dat no dat - well I dunno bout dat - I really dunno

and off he goes wiv two dem, to the medical centre and dies because no one believes him. IF he had been intubated at the scene he might have survived.

this is how tyrants and traitors die

// It's a cultural thingy.//
I bow to the travellers

I havent met many North Koreans and clearly I dont need to !

[Bazile]

So autocratic is the country - apparently the average Joe in NK, don't even know that man landed on the moon .

[Peter Pedant]

oo can I make a mainstream AB contribution ?
and say that there are four esses in assassination ?

thx for reading

[EDDIE51]

One of the assailants has been injured by the nerve agent they administered. I don't expect they were warned what they were handling, they would just have been told to spray him.
That's the problem with nerve gas it can just as easily kill those who administer it.

[Jackdaw33]

He's killed his uncle, he's killed his brother, who next?

Some 'fascinating facts' about North Korea
https://www.buzzfeed.com/candacelowry/surprising-facts-you-may-not-know-about-north-korea?utm_term=.quwdMxzK6#.oqL1LbGNd
Including that North Korea is so short of resources that human feces are used as fertiliser, and people are actually forced to *** in the fields.
There are only 28 hair styles allowed in North Korea and wearing Jeans is banned !

[EDDIE51]

Not North Korean agents apparently!
The two girls were fooled into doing it by telling them they were filming a 'prank' for a TV show!
Makes it even worse if that is possible, it could so easily have gone wrong and killed people at the airport.

[mushroom25]

//apparently the average Joe in NK, don't even know that man landed on the moon . //

the average NK joe might even be right - wasn't it all an elaborate hoax staged in a hangar in Arizona?

[New Judge]

"There are only 28 hair styles allowed in North Korea and wearing Jeans is banned !"

That's outrageous.

There should only be two hairstyles allowed - one for the chaps (in the style of the little fat boy who runs the place) and one for the ladies. Furthermore, I would not allow jeans to be worn in the street in the UK if I was in charge. They would be restricted to use by garage mechanics whilst in the workshop and would have to be changed for proper kecks before going out in public.

[EDDIE51]

N J the hairstyles are based on the 'Dear Leader'.
How do you feel about being forced to cr** in the fields so your poop can be used to fertilise crops? I wonder how they organise that?
Perhaps they have poop collectors who come round and pick it up to save walking to the fields.

'A dog is not just for Christmas' That's certainly true in North Korea they want to leave some for Boxing day!
