if he was hot he should have just opened a window…oh…oh wait…
That sounds awkward.
Did they run out of windows? Or did the window overlook the pond?
The funny thing is that this probably was actually an accident, but is Kim Jong Un going to believe that?
Probably wanted that guy gone anyway. Why waste space on a plane for someone who can eat all your delicious
dirtdefinitely edible food.Why waste space on an armoured train moar liek.
I don’t that I buy ‘just an accident’.
I’m not stupid enough to think that it was necessarily Russia, though. But seriously, how many people die randomly swimming. Particularly when they probably have some security standing on their every move?
A lot of people die randomly swimming. Just last week someone drowned in the river near me, and a few months back, there was a drowning in a lake. Both involved alcohol.
I just don’t see why drown the NK envoy.
My present speculation, if it wasn’t an accident, was that he was trying to defect/escape NK.
Russia isn’t the only place to use political executions.
Alternatively, it could have been a western state- Ukraine features high (if they have the capability?) specifically to impose some strain on relations.
We’ll prolly never know what really happened.
It’s quite possible that he had taken the opportunity of being in a country with easier access to alcohol and drugs to go on a bender and ended up drowned. Remember Yeltsin standing outside the white house in his underwear pissed out of his gourd trying to hail a taxi to get pizza?
Pretty sure that was before my time.
I don’t suppose you have a video? Asking for a friend…
Though, again, their security detail is total shit if they let a drunken slob get that pissed and drown.
Delegations going abroad don’t get to go without an escort. especially from countries where the risk of defection is insanely high.
I remember a few years ago, Russia had an unseasonably warm summer and a rash of drownings because they got drunk and couldn’t swim.
When you think about it, isn’t a pool just a very large window?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The head of an elite North Korean military delegation that was deployed to Russia last week has been found dead in Moscow, according to local reports.
Newsweek couldn’t independently verify the reports and has contacted Russia’s Foreign Ministry for comment by email.
Kim and his delegation departed from Pyongyang on July 8, the news agency Yonhap said, on the first public visit by North Korean officials to Russia since Pyongyang and Moscow signed a new strategic partnership agreement in June.
According to SHOT, as a heat wave swept Russia, Kim, 64, went to the Bolshoy Gorodskoy Pond in Moscow for a swim to cool off, and “disappeared.”
North Korea and Russia have deepened their ties since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine in February 2022.
Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency said in June that Article 4 of the new agreement reached between Russia and North Korea during Putin’s historic visit requires either party to deploy “all means at its disposal without delay” to provide “military and other assistance” should one nation be attacked.
The original article contains 427 words, the summary contains 179 words. Saved 58%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Guess he didn’t swallow!
So is the honeymoon over?
And these are the people republicans think are “not so bad”
Remember that when it’s your family randomly dying by “some freak accident “
Drowned out of his 11th story window.
I spit on my phone when abruptly laughed at this.
He didn’t fall out of a window? That’s a change.
Must have been the new hire who did it, they forgot to read the instructions.
The window guy had a packed schedule.
Drowned in bath tub while he was kneeled washing his face.
Putin is double crossing the North Koreans? lmfao with friends like that who needs enemies?
Totally has nothing to do with NK supplied ammunition exploding before it leaves the tube.
Once the Russians started using the ammunition sent by North Korea, they encountered unforeseen problems. The North Korean-made ammunition was of a poor standard and, as military experts projected, resulted in a significant rise in incidents of tanks and howitzers being destroyed or damaged due to premature shell explosions. Photos of the damaged vehicles began circulating on social media platforms.
Once the Russians started using the ammunition sent by North Korea, they encountered unforeseen problems.
Oh no I’m fatally sure that pretty much everyone foresaw these problems.
WW3 between… Russia and North Korea, with… uhh… allies? It’s weird because both China and USA would want to get involved, but neither would know on which side. Imagine USA allying with China to help North Korea fight Russia by mistake. That would be embarrassing.
