According to one of the cables, the general opinion in the CPC is that they wouldn't actually mind a unified Korea, as long as they don't have US troops right next to their border. A South Korean politician is quoted in there that it is possible that the North will collapse politically, since their economy has been utterly down the shitter for years now. There are also murmurs about the Kim dynasty succession "has not progressed as planned", thus the complete implosion of the Northern regime may happen sooner rather than later (according to the politician, 1-3 years after Kim Jong-Un takes over).
If the war really breaks over again, I can't imagine anything else happening to the North other than total destruction, as it is widely expected that if SK and US do not take preemptive steps at neutralizing the thousands of artillery guns pointing at Seoul, the North's best achievement (however morose that can sound) is to flatten Seoul and its surroundings... and for this you can expect a retribution of gargantuan proportion from the other side. I also read in a news that the South's PM, thru his aide, has asked for the US to station their tactical nukes in their country, either for deterrence or something far worse. MARS also made a good point by comparing the Koreas unification with with that of Germany, and since a war will make rebuilding efforts much harder, it's easy to see why a complete implosion of the North is the best bet for all the parties concerned, except for the North of course. And now for the waiting game... -------------------- [Sources] CARAT HD-1, Sony E445, Cowon S9 [Amplifiers] PA2V2, Corda XXS, Corda Arietta [Headphones] Audio Technica ATH-AD900, Beyer DT250-80, Head-Direct RE0, Soundmagic PL50, Koss PortaPro http://www.last.fm/user/warisz00r JOIN SWR FORUMS LAST.FM GROUP |
