North Korea executes opponents of peace process!
PYONGYANG, North Korea (PNN) - February 20, 2019 - A week ahead of the next summit with Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald Trump, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un is reported to have removed some 50 to 70 people who were overwhelmingly hawks seen as resistant to the diplomatic process.
These people are reportedly being targeted under a new anti-corruption initiative, but are being singled out as hawks. Some are being jailed, others exiled, and still others are being executed.
This collection of officials was seen to have been amassing power within the government, and some had used those positions to stock away some illegally acquired wealth. The money being confiscated in the purge in also shoring up North Korea’s economy in the immediate term.
In the long-term, the gains are less about money confiscated, which reports concede were only large “on a North Korean scale,” and that Kim is rid of a lot of the opponents of diplomacy. This should ensure that his efforts are supported across top positions.
