Kim Jong-nam is dead. That’s not ‘our’ Kim Jong, he’s Kim Jong-un. There are loads of them. Come in all different flavours. Kim Jong-nam is the bastard half-brother of the current lunatic-in-chief of North Korea. Sorry, WAS the half-brother. He died yesterday. Mysteriously died of almost natural causes. After two women at Kuala Lumpur airport sprayed poison into his face. So really, he died from exceedingly unnatural causes. They haven’t identified the mystery liquid yet. Nor the women involved. Police are looking for two, slight, black-haired women with slanting eyes. How hard can that be to trace? They’re either in Malaysia or Korea. Possibly China.

Kim Jong-nam didn’t like his half brother. There again; who does? What’s to like?? So lived his life as a playboy-in-exile, criticising the North Korean leader at every opportunity. Which is why he couldn’t set foot in North Korea. Didn’t even go to his father’s funeral. So North Korea went and found him. With the inevitable consequences.

I’m gonna miss him.

The only other totalitarian regime in the world currently, is America. Just like North Korea it is governed by a megalomaniac tyrant with funny hair, who (thinks he-) has total power and rules mercilessly. Particularly where his team is concerned. As Mike Flynn, the National Security Advisor, ‘resigned’ yesterday. This is what his cv will look like:

December 2016: employed by incoming president as Security Advisor
December 2016: had secret chat with Russian ambassador talking about sanctions being lifted.
December 2016: told the Vice President ‘we never spoke about sanctions’
January 2017: Someone found a recording of the conversation
February 2017: ‘resigned’ to… errr… spend more time with the family, play some golf…

Of course, the more interesting question (for the rest of the world) is whether Trump was told of the conversation, which is believed to be the case, adding the adjective ‘duplicitous’ to the ongoing stream of applicable terms.

The more interesting question for Donald Trump is ‘why all these leaks???’ As it would be. Always the victim.

Happy Wednesday

Be careful out there
