Hey, bite me, China!
That assumes that whatever currency NK issues has any value at all in SK.
“That assumes that whatever currency NK issues has any value at all in SK.”
No, it assumes that they go “window shopping” like the East Germans did in Berlin. When they see how SK lives, they will go home and “tend to business.”
I wouldn’t bet against it, having witnessed the incredible impossible fall of the USSR.
But regardless, just watching President Trump bellow at every chance to world leaders about the need to reunite the Korean Peninsula after taking out the ‘Jong’ will have the PRC Chinese sh*tting bricks 24/7.
And somehow I get this tingle of my Matthews just to think how the PRC commies will be constipated with rage just hearing it around the world that the USA is leading a consortium of nations, especially Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, and ahem Taiwan, and all of the Pacific Rim, to focus on Korean reunification.
Talk about dominating the news cycle. The Japanese alone will be estatic and the South Koreans will be beaming nonstop.
F’ the PRC. They will fall too.
Thank you Gay State, for your very cogent post. You put all the thoughts disassociating in my addled brain together in a way I never could.
THAAD is Trump’s bargaining chip to keep Xi honest, and to determine if Xi’s statements are fluff.
Meanwhile, Trump is painting Xi in a corner by talking up what a great guy he is. Xi will lose a lot of face if he doesn’t get NK - China’s creation, after all - under control.
THAAD will stay until that happens.
