NK v SK conflict is not that different to India v Pakistan. The difference is... there are US troops sitting on the border of NK/SK, so agression between those to parties involves the US.
So who is the destabilising force in the region? I'm pretty sure "stability" isn't the goal (for the US) it's "Democracy".
- jlgreco 14y ago> NK v SK conflict is not that different to India v Pakistan. Uh, maybe if you ignore the magnitude of severity?
- Volpe 14y agoI was talking politically... They are not too different. Ideologically opposed nations that were once a single nation (to over simplify a bit)
- dba7dba 14y agoThere are NO US troops sitting on the DMZ. There are a very few US GIs acting as sort of UN monitor type near DMZ. Most of the US troops are well away from the DMZ. Btw, N Korea has a regular standing army numbering a million. S Korea has 550,000. US has just a few thousands. And let's not forget who STARTED the whole Korean War.
- dinkumthinkum 14y agoThe difference is so much greater than that. North Korea is a completely irrational regime. It is lost in a fantasy world. Pakistan, though it's stability is questionable, is not off on some bizarre ideological island. It's not as if the Pakistani government could convince it's citizens of the sort of nonsense the North Korean government does.
