In the big picture, North Korea exists because China wants a buffer between it and the American military in South Korea, although China has made overtures to South Korea in the past.

It occurs to me that the rest of the world probably cares about the US presidential elections more than most Americans do because the stability of their countries can be affected much more.

The second comment is that South Koreans will start to worry when they see the US evacuate or move to protect its citizens in South Korea, and there are a lot of US citizens in Korea, including military.

That statement right there defines what it means to be a government run by the people. The people of this country have the power the change the world. The president is just a conduit. Elections have consequences.

IMO largely, at least recently, because the choices available to us are so poor.

I would be OK if Trump, Xi, and Putin had their own little Potsdam Conference, and decided that the southern 45% of NK would be given to the ROK. The Northern 45% given to China. With the 10% in between made a UN nature preserve, DMZ.
Just gotta go topple the head clown to make it work. I figure the NK military brass and NK people would be OK with that. The brass don't get killed and the people get fed.

NK don't give a ****. The one shitting his pants is Trump. Time to back up all that tough talk little boy. All hell is about to break loose.
Seriously?

By the sheer brilliance of that post, I doubt he could find either Korea on a map with a call to a friend.

He's from Memphis, lives in Birmingham and roots for "Deez Nuts". What do you expect?

Why would China and S Korea want 90% of that schithole? That proposal is a big loser.

Im thinking that NK is going to suffer horribly in this. While they have an enormous army, I don't believe its members have any clue about what they are facing and will quickly disperse under the intense attack. Lots of dead bodies both military and civilian....It will be one of the quickest engagements ever IMO. NK has no real defense to an air assault. That will be their doom.

It doesn't need to be a shiphole. Over the next 30 years the ruffians could make it livable and an asset to each nation.

They could also plant some shrubbery. Not too big ones.
Someone to arrange, design and sell shrubberies could make it very nice indeed.
