Depends on his strength as a leader. I don't know what you've read, Brett but I honestly don't know a whole lot about him. Obviously there's a power vacuum now that was probably going to be filled by his son, however if there are "groups" inside who want to edge their way to the top, now's the time to do it. It sounded like he had been groomed by his father to take over eventually. But yes, "Won't Get Fooled Again" has been an appropriate song for much of this year...

I don't see this as a potential power struggle. The NK Politburo speaks with one voice. They're going to present a united front to the outside world and manage the inner machinations of the NK government in a strictly controlled manner. We're not going to see an internal power struggle, nor a Korean Spring type event here.
