Hard to imagine a resolution to the Korean situation that doesn't lead to a world war.
- dave4420 2y agoEasy to imagine the Korean situation remaining unresolved for another lifetime.
- giantg2 2y agoSeems pretty easy to me. If information flows more freely, internal opinions change, potential for an internal leader to change policies (or coup, uprising). It seems reasonably possible in a generation or so successions could happen to further that. A regional/global war is one of the other higher possiblies, of course.
- gaws 2y agoWe're only a few hours away from nuclear annihilation if North Korea decides to launch an ICBM at Washington, D.C.
- ElectronCharge 2y agoThat's the wildest hyperbole, although NK is a far cry from Russia. One or a few ICBMs from NK would likely get shot down by BMD. I hope the US response would be measured, meaning Russia and China would be diplomatically notified before the US wipes Pyongyang and the NK military off the Earth - one hopes avoiding nuclear holocaust. If the US/Europe and Russia/China have an exchange, it'll be horrific and utterly world-altering.
- gaws 2y agoThe BMD is not as reliable as you may think, especially if we're dealing with multiple ICBMs on their way to the United States.
