In reply to the discussion: Whoa...if this is true then N. Korea is out of control... [View all]Lizzie Poppet
(10,164 posts)3. While KJU is mad as a hatter, this doesn't pass the smell test for me.
Single (dubious) source, no independent corroboration, ridiculous number of dogs (as if more than about a tenth of that number could actually get to the guy at a time...), vague description of the duration (if there was an actual witness, why say "up to an hour?" A witness would know...).
I smell bullshit.

Yes, it's silly to think a dictator would waste money by requesting impractical things

The uncle and 5 aides were executed at once. That is only 20 dogs per criminal.

The reports I've read said "probably machine gun", so I suspect it's not true.
