We might publicly condemn those actions, but secretly we should be helping them.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris

The only thing they have to fear is China getting involved, in which case we would too.
But at least we'd get a remake of MASH out of it.

I don't see China sending troops unless there is threat of a serious NK occupation.
From what we know, this is concerning behavior by NK. The US has little leverage as it probably wouldn't take another war on itself. This would be a UN deal...and if NK takes the offense on SK, then it would have tons of support in the UN. Although it doesn't get the resources, this is the type of issue the organization was designed for...
Regardless, it'll be interesting to see what China does do. Supporting NK in its behavior benefits China less and less every day.Go Gophers!

There's a few flights and trade routes that would go around the Korean Penninsula, and they wouldn't want to have to run the risk of any of them being taken out. Plus with the new kid all set to take over, I'm sure they would want to explain very clearly to the guy that China ain't going to put up with any Bullpucky from North Korea that would mess up trade in the Pacific Rim. It would help NK to think of China as Bruce Banner, they're not going to like China when its angry.Cornell University

Re: Who should South Korea fear Most
Originally posted by Kepler View PostNK is very convenient for China, since it's helping us bankrupt ourselves with no risk to Beijing. Them intervening would be as geopolitically self-defeating as, say, us taking out Iran's regional rival. It doesn't take Metternich to pass on that.
China is selling products around the world...esp in the US. Public opinion is strong in capitalism...and bad enough behavior by NK and enough ambivalence by China, could result in a international consumer backlash that would not be in China's best interest.Go Gophers!

Re: Who should South Korea fear Most
Lets hope we don't get dragged into another war. Korean war 50-53 over 3million civilian deaths... 2million soldiers KIA/WIA on both sides.
I wonder how many civilians has died in Iraq/Afghanistan "war" and how many combatants are KIA/WIA in the 7year+ conflict.
Communism was acting in Korea, just as Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese had ten, fifteen, and twenty years earlier. I felt certain that if South Korea was allowed to fall Communist leaders would be emboldened to override nations closer to our own shores

Re: Who should South Korea fear Most
S Korea should fear Kim's kid for sure. NK has nothing to lose. Their people are starving, they lack technology and resources. It makes perfect sense for them to try and take over SK and gain all their resources. And they'd be smart to so it now while the US is still in Iraq and Afganistan. The US militry is already crying they can't fight on 2 fronts and the US public doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to fight a real conventional war with hundreds of US troops dying a month. And over what? IMHO, we should just get out of SK all together before we get dragged into yet another military quagmire. If NK takes over SK, what's the big deal? No more Kia's and Hyundai's? Our national security will not be compromised to a devastating level if we leave. We can still nuke them from the safety of our own country if we have to.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!
