Who would have an interest in drawing South Korea into it?
- opinion-is-bad 5y agoThe US would be primarily responsible for forcing Korea into the war. The border of North and South Korea is only about a day drive from Beijing, allowing the US to threaten the Chinese government from the very beginning of any conflict. The situation on the Korean Peninsula is commonly thought of as a failing for US diplomacy, but the conflict actually provides perfect cover to keep a huge military detachment almost on the border of our chief geopolitical rival. It’s highly advantageous to the US for Korea to remain fractured.
