I find it striking that he suffers from obesity. Meanwhile his people have denuded forests and meadows of vegetation in an effort to prevent starvation. I hope he is dead and I hope it was painful, especially after my research on Kwan Li son #22 (reeducation camp bigger than D.C.)

Not that former president Bill Clinton has any special insight into the health or the appearance of Mr. Kim, but it seems that in briefing members of President Obama's administration, he would remark on Mr. Kim's apparent health. It would have been helpful if your article explained the reasoning for the use of a body double. Mr. Kim's successor has already been chosen and at this time we do not know to what extent, if at all, he will pursue his father's politics. The article would also have been helped by a more current picture, say one of the meeting between Mr. Kim and Mr. Clinton.

BTW, I have not seen any report of Mr. Kim's dealth elsewhere. I expect that if Mr. Kim had indeed died or if there were a serious suspicion, that fact and that suspicion would have been reported by Reuters, the BBC, CNN, as well as on the web sites of the New York Times and The Washington Post. RT is hardly the place I would look first for such news.
