welshbairn Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Going by the previous rumours from South Korea, he's been kept alive by the plasma of newly born babies of deliberately Covid infected mothers, and in a week or so will be shown jauntily sporting a new pork pie hat whilst inspecting a new missile launch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 A nuclear armed rogue state with no clear succession plan, a starving populous and its current leader possibly in a vegetative state. What could possibly go wrong. Not to mention the fact we’re in the middle of a worldwide pandemic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JTS98 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) It'll be very interesting if this causes a chain of events leading to South Korea's bluff being called on reunification. It's a popular issue in Korea, it has widespread public support. But the 'public' part of that is very important. Korea is a society where being seen and heard doing the right thing is very important. Deviating from the heard mentality in Korean society is rarely done. However, once you have a few Korean friends, you tend to hear different views on reunification. Basically, South Koreans like being rich and they know that increasing their population by 50% is not a great idea when it comes to maintaining that wealth. It's even less of a great idea when you consider that the incoming population would be malnourished, uneducated, low-skilled, brainwashed to a degree, totally out of sync with the modern world and South Korean society. The spending required to build an infrastructure and civil society in North Korea will be incredible. It'll take decades. Who pays for that? What does it do to the existing society? It becomes an even worse idea when you consider that this process will almost certainly lead to some kid of armed resistance from loyalists inside the North Korean regime who would have access to nuclear material as well as plenty of conventional weapons. Korea has a rugged terrain and putting down a guerilla movement there could take decades. Plus, of course, there are plenty of North Korean weapons pointed directly at Seoul. Of course, China may not be a hell of a keen reunification, given that reunification actually means essentially pro-Western South Korea becomes the whole country and now has a border with China and tens of thousands of American troops on the ground. Glad I'm out of there. What could go wrong? People I still know in Seoul feeling far from easy about this. Can't say I blame them.

cyderspaceman Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 One report has his half-uncle ( is that a thing?) in the frame for succession, Kim Pyong. IF he's deid, of course. In this age of mobile phones and social media, it's either absolutely true or a steaming pile of shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For South Korea, as you say, there are more negatives than positives. However, China (reluctantly) will probably look to exert some control. You will have a game being played out that no one actually wants to win.UN and U.S.A, U.S.A, will throw their tuppence worth in and not beyond logic that Russia will stir the pot.I believe it will end in some form of Korean unification that the South will proclaim as good news (while wondering what the f**k they are actually going to do with the mess).What actually lies beyond its borders is actually anyones guess which I am sure will bring many (unwanted) surprises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
