Words from John Bolton:

Possibilities for reunifying the Korean Peninsula

The upside of success is enormous

By John R. Bolton - - Monday, March 27, 2017

ANALYSIS/OPINION:
With North Korea threatening its sixth nuclear test, and the pace of its ballistic-missile tests quickening, Pyongyang’s global threat is ever more imminent. Twenty-five years of self-defeating American efforts to negotiate with the world’s only hereditary Communist dictatorship have, not surprisingly, proven fruitless.

Bolton has some points but they stop at how in the world do they expect to “manage” the South absorbing the North???

The floods of people to the South and to China would be horrendous without a vast number of nations quickly stepping in to clean up and direct an extremely backward and ‘hostile’ population...not to mention those born and raised in the prison camps...thousands of people who haven’t a clue about freedom....and believe the world is their enemy.

Further is he sure that China is willing to yield N. Korea as it’s buffer zone?

No matter how one looks at this not so sure the world’s people want to take this on along with all that’s happening with refugee issues .....but is there really a choice at the stage of nuclear possibility.

If this does happen....this reunification.....it’s going to have to happen at warp speed.

Another development. PLA does this from time to time. Would it be any different this time?

China conducts military exercise near N. Korea border amid escalating threats

We are going to start today with news of some exercises by China.
The Chinese government has released images of military drills conducted adjacent to its border with North Korea as the regime continues to make nuclear and missile threats.
The state-run Chinese Network System reported Monday that a Chinese army unit stationed in the northeastern province of Jilin, conducted exercises near the border last Friday that were aimed at verifying the response time of its forces.
Watchers say the move is a means of upping military readiness against growing signs of an imminent North Korean nuclear test or intercontinental ballistic missile launch.
