(1) nk may be a tool for beijing, but not more a tool than sk is for washington, so that comment can be set aside as so much neocon fluff. I don't think we have much control over S.K. as we used to.. Otherwise, we wouldn't see this kind of rancor between them and Japan.
(2) as to comfort women being false narrative, you must be a trump supporter, unless you are a clinton faithful, and so we can set that bit of falsehood aside as so little neocon fluff. perhaps the german concentration camps by your read are also false narrative? Korea was a colony of Japan during WWII.. It had been a colony since 1910. Koreans served in the Japanese army, including the father of the, now impeached, current President, Park Chung-hee. In fact, he graduated at the top of his class in 1942 from the Japanese Imperial Army Academy.
So.. to have S. Koreans claim that the Japanese Army, in the midst of fighting a war, would be able to forcibly make 200,000 Korean women become sex slaves would mean that Korean men permitted it, which is ludicrous. Korean men would have revolted against their Japanese colonial masters, not served in their army.
Any Korean women who became involved in the sex trade, were more than likely forced by their OWN families, or Korean pimps and madams, to participate. The last thing the Japanese military had resources, or time for, was to risk a revolt within their own colony by enslaving Korean women.
Furthermore, even though prostitution was rampant on all sides of the conflict, Japanese soldiers were quite shy about engaging in sex with non-Japanese.
This gentleman, Michael Yon, has been doing research on the Comfort Women controversy for the past couple of years... I think his logic is pretty irrefutable.

(3) as to kim's half bro getting off-ed in malaysia, do not see how kl airport falls under beijing's protection umbrella, but maybe you see. for all we know the guy could have been off-ed by the cia per false-flag ops; or heck, the russians could have done it.
Kim Jong-nam’s assassination has now plunged China-North Korea relations to a new low. It was no secret that Kim Jong-nam, the elder half-brother of Kim Jong-un, was under China’s protection, having lived in China since he fell from favour more than a decade ago. His presence in China was a constant reminder to Kim Jong-un that China had a convenient replacement, one who had perhaps a better claim to the throne as the eldest son, if he proved too unreasonable. For that reason alone, Kim Jong-nam was a marked man.
