What about an assasination of Kim Jung

Political assasination are illegal but we are still technically at war with NK so that blurs the lines. If Trump orders it, what do you think would happen with a CIA sponsored bullet through him? Would the whole regime crumble or would there be a power struggle and we end up with someone potentially worse in charge? I wonder if we have the capability, if we've infiltrated that far to get a shot..

No, but the exact regulations are murky. Gerald Ford's 1976 executive order on foreign intelligence activities (issued after the disclosure that the CIA had plans to do in Fidel Castro) explicitly prohibits government employees from engaging in "political assassination." This certainly rules out killing heads of state through covert means. It's unclear, however, who else is off limits. The 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, a congressional resolution that grants the president the right to use "all necessary and appropriate force" against those who helped commit the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, arguably licenses the CIA to go after terrorists with impunity.

I think the regime would simply fall into Junta hands and operate as they have been. The question is Kim taking orders from Junta or is Junta taking orders from Kim? Assassination could set off preemptive strikes on South Korea.

I am sure that some "contractors" are already feeling the situation out,and have been for a long time.
It obviously isn't so easy.

It should be China not us that does it. I find it hard to believe that not quite a few in Kim's inner circle aren't in China's pocket. They need to have a coup to kill the entire Kim family, and exile anyone under 18 never to return to NK.

Pretty much anything the CIA touches turns totally to shite.

Being at war does not blur any lines.
Kings made it illegal for any king to assassinate the other kings in wartime.
Explain "blur the lines since we are technically at war".
Blur?
Are you suggesting that since we have existential threat, we have rights otherwise not ours?

We should wait until NK makes an actual armed attack, and make sure that we can prove that they DID launch first.
That way, the Democrats and other Trump Haters won't be able to accuse Trump of going crazy, jumping the gun, acting irrationally, being the most dangerous madman in the world, bullying poor North Korea and etc., etc., etc., endlessly on mass media 24/7 for the rest of our lives.
That's what we should do -- because you know damn well that the Dems and John McCain would love to be able to blame a big war on Trump.

Do it and don't claim it
Then they could try proving it
but someone would leak it probably
