Here's what I gathered so far reading the different pieces of the puzzle:
- Kim collapsed, rushed to hospital, North Korea signaled China for help
- China was prepared to send a team but it would take some time to get them to Kim's location
- North Korean doctors (one of them trained in China) feared the help would not arrive in time as Kim's condition worsened
- The North Korean doctors decided to operate on their own, one of them was apparently nervous to operate on the body of dear leader
- A procedure that should've taken 30 seconds to a minute took a full 8 minutes, leaving Kim in a vegetative state
- Kim being obese apparently also complicated the procedure
- North Korea once more asked Chinese doctors to help, hoping that they could perhaps do something to save dear leader
- The Chinese concluded that Kim was already (brain) dead and nothing could be done
- China has mobilized border forces and activated their agents in case Kim's sister turns to the US (after all she spearheaded the diplomatic efforts between Trump/Kim)
- North Korea has mobilized ICBM launchers during the last 48 hours

Tomorrow there is a big celebration in North Korea.
So they could announce his death and successor soon.

Why even drag it out? Extending the embargo is not possible, so might as well try to see if they can even do the snap back now instead of this whole charade of trying to bully the other participants.

Pompeo means he's going to actually put in the shredder on the next UN ZOOM meeting while the US anthem plays.
Until now they've only revoked it 'on paper'.

75 years ago today (at 3:30pm local time), Hitler blew out his brains with his Walther PPK. Does that count as international politics?

To adopt better practices that will help save lives? The WHO and the world at large should study what Taiwan did right alongside other countries that was able to manage this pandemic as best as possible (South Korea, Vietnam, etc).

To all the people who are screaming open now, we never should have shut down, etc. Taiwan shown a model where they never had to 'shut down', protected their citizens by and large and was able to effectively distribute supplies to people and did it domestically.

I'm sure scientists at the WHO would love to co-operate with Taiwan fully and officially, but their hands are tied. If member states stood up to China first and officially recognized Taiwan as a sovereign nation, they'd have actual leverage to drop the one-China policy, but they don't, so China gets to push them around, including stone-walling them on studying the initial spread.

They can't fix this themselves. They can't even make it look good.

Moral grandstanding isn't going to grant them the necessary powers.

Schiller thought Goudreau was naive and in over his head. He cut off all contact following the meeting, said a person close to the former White House official.

Imagine if your plot is too wild for Trump's bodyguard.
