First use of chemical weapons assumes that the south korean military is impotent against such an attack. People keep ignoring how great an army S. Korea has. It is world class.

It is S Korea that has built a world class, high tech industrial base. N Korea struggles to feed its people.

They are a formidable adversary that has been preparing for a N Korean attack for decades.

To believe that S Korea has not taken all this into account in their war planning is to assume they are stupid. They are, in fact, genius.

Everything points to some sort of military action that depends on the south getting involved. Wouldn't it be crazy if the attack came over the Yalu river? Everyone thinks it will be the US because we're rattling cages, but the Chinese could do right and liberate the Norks and re-unify the peninsula and have a new ally in new Korea. That seems like the kind of crazy 4D chess move Trump would create.
