I think he'll come back looking something like this:

It is not uncommon for dictatorial regimes to hide what is going on. Rumor has it that our late president Tito was dead for a week before they announced his death and for some Soviet politicians, when they were absent from the public, the official story was that he has a cold. You are right about troop movement etc, entirely possible.

I'm going to go with he's toast. The whole story about the failed surgery, nervous surgeon and brain inactivity all seem believable. With all the possibilities to explain his absence, that level of detail smacks of truth. Or it could be BS. Time will tell.

love this pic. The soldier in front didn't get the memo

And if he was mostly dead the people vying for control would try to make him completely dead. Hard to exert control and hand out favors when you are incapacitated.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

I was thinking the same. She's probably been 'disappeared'. The authentic crying of the others is betrayed by the lack of tears. Lil' Kim fancies himself as a Korean Elvis.
