Kim Jong Un’s half-brother was working as a CIA informant before he was brazenly murdered in a Malaysian airport in 2017, according to a report Monday.

Kim Jong Nam, the late North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il’s eldest son, “met on several occasions with agency operatives,” according to the report in The Wall Street Journal.

The Journal cited “a person knowledgeable about the matter” in its report.

“There was a nexus” between Kim Jong Nam and the intelligence agency, according to the Journal’s source.

Kim Jong Un'''s half-brother was CIA informant before his assassination: report | Fox News

Given this information, it was justified for Kim Jong Un to have his half-brother killed by poison. He was defending the sovereignty of his nation.
 
National Security is National Security.
 
Maybe.

But there is also a report circulating that Marshal Kim has just had someone executed by -- feeding him to piranha fish.

I kid you not.

This is the kind of "journalism" that we are getting nowadays.

Getting rid of foreign agents and neocon terrorists is not madness, it's national security.

And you endorse these covert CIA operations where we are planning to assassinate leaders we do not like?

I don't consider his leadership legitimate. We have to pragmatically deal with them, though I believe we should not deal with Un directly. I want peace, but I do want our military to have options against this dangerous rogue totalitarian regime.

First off, your avatar is rather laughable.

Secondly "national security is national security" is a rather weak excuse.

Calling him a "neocon terrorist" is flat out stupid given there is no evidence of him having conducted any acts of terrorism whatsoever

It being North Korea, that's actually believable.

Eliminating foreign threats is something all countries do. A spy working for the CIA is a foreign threat to North Korea, so North Korea eliminating him is a legit response

"Eliminating foreign threats"

Please provide evidence of the CIA--- or any other Western intelligence service, for that matter--- spraying someone with ****ing nerve gas for supposedly being a spy.

How exactly was he a "threat to North Korea"?
