Entire U.S. Senate to go to White House for North Korea briefing

[QUOTE=Aredbomb;52159649]The one thing I can think of is that it would fuck up North Korea's personality cult pretty hard as the Kim dynasty would most likely very suddenly go from being near-deified (or fully deified in Kim Il-Sung's case) to being corrupt, treasonous frauds that the glorious military had to save the North Korean people from.[/QUOTE]

All they would have to do is get on state television and say "the Americans killed Kim!" or some other excuse.

That would be a very bad idea. First of all if the military didn't want people like Kim Jong-Un getting in the way then the last thing they'd want to do is make him a martyr. Second, removing Jong-Un won't de-legitamize what remains of his dynasty so long as their personality cult remains unchanged. It gives people a reason to expect the military to follow his successor and question their authority if they don't. Lastly, claiming that a hated enemy successfully assassinated their country's leader would make North Korea look vulnerable. It would make America a much more fearsome opponent in a war, and while they'd be right to be afraid, that's not what the North Korean government would want.
