I take it you’ve never been to Korea, especially North of Seoul or on the DMZ. Everything up there is designed to stop or slow down the DPRK troops so that more ROK and UN troops can get there. There are explosives, mines, dragon’s teeth, concrete blocks, pillboxes and hundreds of tanks up there. Every one of our weapons systems is decades ahead of their 1950-1970’s equipment. You do know that the ROK (”South Korea”) is a major world power in several ways, including technology and industry, right? The ROKs make their own tanks, APCs and aircraft. The DPRK (”North Korea”) relies on China and Russia for almost everything.
Quite right. And the Chinese are only interested in one thing: business. The idea of the Norks kicking their dish is gonna be the end. With the exception of the EU, the US is China’s largest trading partner. And after Hong Kong and ASEAN, it’s Japan and South Korea. The Chinese simply won’t let Kim kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. The best part about the Chinese is they don’t have to put up with a bunch of PR bullshit - when they pull the plug, it’s over.
