The fucking murder strategy sounds like it was from a book. Worked perfectly as well, unless the woman identifies the go between, and let's be honest, if you're caught up in shit this deep it'd be scary to speak up.

Weird, I wonder what they sprayed on him that was so immediately deadly. That's pretty fucking scary. Trick a dumb ass into playing a prank to kill someone.

I feel bad for his son, Kim Han-sol. Just read an article about him and he seems like he actually has a good head on his shoulders. Would be nice if they could get him in there to run North Korea if we ever get rid of Kim Jong-un.

He also spoke openly of his wish for the eventual reunification of the Korean Peninsula. “I have always dreamed one day I will go back and make things better, make it easier for all the people there,” he said. “I also dream of reunification because it’s really sad that I can’t go to the other side [South Korea] and see my friends there.”

It's pretty obvious from the CCTV footage that it's a hit and the girls are lying.

You don't inconspicuously walk off in opposite directions after a prank on a TV show.

Crazy. They think North Korea was behind this now.

And who exactly did you think it was? This was clear as day that it was a hit by North Korea. The real question was why, and that was also easy to figure out. (Hint: Un didn't want any rivals to the throne).

You also tend to not cover your bare hands in poison when you know it's poison.

Malaysia police say VX nerve agent was used to kill Kim Jong Nam, according to preliminary report

https://www.wsj.com/articles/kim-jong-nam-killed-with-vx-nerve-agent-malaysia-says-1487897540

VX (IUPAC name O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate) is an extremely toxic substance that has no known uses except in chemical warfare as a nerve agent. It is a tasteless and odorless liquid with an amber-like color. 10 milligrams is sufficient for it to be fatal through skin contact and the LCt50 for inhalation is estimated to be 30–50 mg·min/m3. As a chemical weapon, it is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations in UN Resolution 687. The production and stockpiling of VX exceeding 100 grams per year per signatory was outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993.

What are the implications of this being classified as a weapon of ass destruction? Is it what I think it is?

The implications are that it's an extremely deadly chemical nerve agent with a potential to kill a bunch of people. Most chemical weapons are classified as such.

But couldn't they throw this as NK having used a weapon of mass destruction in another country?

You can, by implication, but it doesn't change anything. The most this is going to do is ruin its relations with Malaysia. There's no global police to go after anyone, if the UN Security Council wanted to do anything they've had plenty of opportunity before.

Plus, NK hasn't even signed the Chemical Weapons Convention.

They just used a tiny bit spraying it directly to the face of the victim. The doctors attending the victim were lucky, you only need 10 mg to die by direct contact. Using VX instead a more common substance or just a gun was a big "fuck you" by NK to the international community. Basically what they are saying is "I can get this shit into a third country without getting detected".

To do what exactly?
Other than China they have been sanctioned heavily already.
And unless NK just starts firing on SK they aren't going to be invaded even if the coalition was every country in the world.
