When the SK government starts to quietly move out of Seoul I think things will happen quickly. NK will try to pre-empt by hitting Seoul and any sign of that starting will draw the fires of hell down on the NK side of the western section of the DMZ and on the nuke sites. The Deal may be to invite China to enter NK and occupy it while the US and its buds wipe out the NK military installations and large formations. The end result of that will not be terribly wonderful but it will be much more predictable and thus manageable than leaving Kim in control. It might even be superior to turning the North over to SK as trying to rehab the North might well sink the SK economy and create instability in the South.
Your thoughts are the same that I’ve been having. I would imagine that the three powers are on a hair trigger. At the first sign of crap from the NORKS, I think holy h3ii will rain down first thing on the area just north of the DMZ where all the pre-targeted artillery is located. Then/simultaneously the other major targets will be hit.
I don’t think Kim Jun Dung is long for this world.
