You're forgetting Vaclev Havel. It's been quite a week.
As NK goes - either he's had an exit strategy in place for some time, so it's business as usual, or the various sons and/or generals will jockey for position (and be "supported" by the West.) Regardless, it's interesting times...
It's telling that the news was fairly quickly announced (he died on the 17th according to the AP report.) NK might be opening up just a crack.
