If you go to war with the south against the north you have to double the number of troops. Half watching the front and half watching their backs. Nam or Korea, I think we already danced this jig and we are in the midst of similar bs in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Perhaps a separate country for the Kurds and Pastuan’s in Afghanistan/Packistan would lead to more stability. Not counting on it though.
Double? We’d need at least twenty times as many troops if you want to invade the DPRK, hold it and recover all unexpended nuclear ordinance according to estimates I’ve seen. We’ll need a bigger Army.

We (U.S.) may perform some sort of surgical black ops utilizing special operations forces. But, there ain’t gonna be a large deployment of several divisions against the Norks. We would be playing right into their wheel house. Ain’t gonna happen.
