SoKo readies its decapitation unit to kill Kim Jong Un, tells him it's coming

Seoul, South Korea -- In the late 1960s, North Korean commandos attempted to ransack the presidential palace in Seoul. South Korea tried to exact revenge and trained misfits from prison or from the streets to sneak into the North and slit the throat of Kim Il Sung, the North's leader. 

When the mission was aborted, the men mutinied, killed their trainers and fought their way into Seoul and blew themselves up. The government kept it under wraps for decades.

Now, as Kim Jong Un, the grandson of the former leader, accelerates his nuclear program, the South is again targeting his fat butt. 

The day after NoKo conducted its sixth nuclear test this month, and by far, the most powerful, SoKo defense minister, Song Young-moo told lawmakers in Seoul that a special forces brigade, described by defense officials as a "decapitation unit" would be established by year's end.

While the 'decapitation' part is not to be taken literally, the message they're sending to the 'Corpulent One' is clear: "Your days are numbered."

It's atypical for any government to announce a strategy to assassinate a head of state, but SoKo wants to keep the North scared about the consequences of further nuclear arsenal development. They also hope to get the North to agree for a sit-down with President Moon Jae-in.

But the real difficulty is getting the North, that has nuclear weapons, to have diplomatic talks with the South who doesn't.

"The best deterrence we can have, next to having our own nukes, is to make Kim Jong Un fear for his life," Gen. Shin Won-sik said. He was the South Korean military's top operational strategist before his 2015 retirement.

The question also remains whether SoKo and the U.S., are laying the groundwork to kill Kim and his top aides before they can even order an attack. That will be a tough task.

While useless Secretary of State Rex "From the River to the Sea" Tillerson said the U.S. doesn't seek leadership change in North Korea, and SoKo says the new military tactics are meant to offset the NoKo threat, the capabilities they are building could be used pre-emptively.
