DPRK and the future of the Korean peninsula

[Burhead]

A good way to save a few $ would be to get the hell out of Germany, Korea, Japan, Italy, Brazil, Spain, Greece, Bahrain, Kosovo, Australia, Bulgaria, Singapore, Kygyzstan, Netherlands, Philippines, Portugal, Turkey, etc.

I'm sure the South Koreans would be all in favor of this.

The ROK Army would love it. They would immediately cross over into NK and get rid of Little Man.

Do you also get the sense that the north Korean army is vast but probably a paper tiger?

One hardly knows how they've been eating the last few decades.

The DPRK is in shambles. I think the only thing that has kept any country from stepping in is anxiety over dealing with that population in the aftermath. China certainly does not want to be in charge of picking the pieces up in NK, nor do we or the South Koreans. DPRK is a humanitarian nightmare, the likes of which the civilized world has never seen, and does not have the first clue about how to fix.

Just continuing this discussion from another thread, figured it would make for interesting discussion.

After the seemingly inevitable collapse, I could see them ending up as a Chinese satellite, more or less.

Their military is virtually ineffective, but I think it's still going to take some major outside force to open the country back up, and a simply massive effort to recover it when they do.

There has been zero progress and massive deterioration for over thirty years now, and nearly every person there has just about no knowledge of the outside world. For instance, if I remember right, it is common knowledge and accepted fact among North Koreans that man has never been on the moon.

Presumptuous about ROKs. RNK might be disorganized, but they're still armed to the teeth. I don't like an unaugmented ROK outfit trying to do anything moving north.

You see that one doc where they brought in a guy from Nepal who was able to cure like a thousand cataracts cases, and they didn't say shat to him and went straight to thanking Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung?

Exactly, Seoul would be wiped out within hours of ROK moving in. The North has all kinds of artillery on the border that is trained on the capital and the South won't be able to destroy them all before the city would be hit. The Korean People's Army, may not be advanced, but it would be ugly for everyone involved...

The border would be overrun and controlled by the ROK Army before a devastating barrage could be mustered. Parts of Seoul would suffer, but it would not be devastated. I imagine it would be little more than the destruction wreaked on Israeli settlements from Hezbollah rocket attacks.

The DPRK is a paper tiger.

Implosion. Both the DPRK and the West will rattle sabers; however, Kim Jong Il wants no part of actual combat with anyone and the West really does not want to have to come up with a plan to fix Korea.

Yeah, on netflix I believe. They cried not because they could see again, but because they could see the portraits of the dear leaders. Scary what total information control can accomplish.

This is a hell of a gamble to make, though.

I often wonder what would happen if all north Koreans got unlimited information access at once; that n Korea started the war, that man has been to the moon, etc.

It would be American propaganda, surely. Hard to retrain a beaten dog.

It is a gamble the US will not make; however, I would not be surprised if we pulled out and the ROKs made the gamble. There is still some heat in those memories.
