Why would you even go to North Korea in the first place?
I'd go.Seriously.
I've watched a few videos were folks(Brits usually)have gone in for a tour.
The countryside(at least in the summer)looks beautiful.I've wondered for decades at the minds of those who build and regularly parade their military might.I was born in 1969.When I was about 10-11 years old I started to see(and understand a bit of what I was seeing)in class videos of German(Nazi) and Soviet(current) military stuff.I was impressed by the intimidating,stern men watching as thousands either marched or cheered.I remember being impressed by the massive effort these countries put forth into building that mass.Twenty five years later I have a much better understanding of the costs incurred along the way.I'd like an opportunity to see such up close before it's gone.
Frankly,I wish we(everyone,everywhere)could go to North Korea.I believe that it's a perfect lesson of how not to do things,and would have educational value.
As to the subject of war on the peninsula?
The Russians would stick their noses in for no other reason than Ukraine.For myself I'd expect not a whole lot of involvement.A battle w/the North is a certain loser for everyone.
I believe that the Chinese would be divided.They know he's crazy,and no profit to be made,they know that no one(except maybe the North)are going to invade China.They might well just drop supplies off at the border,condem SK and the USA in the press,and keep on w/busuness as usual.
South Korea?I dunno,lots of mixed thought about them.Quite a few not APS-able.
Japan?Could probably kiss a whole lot of Japan goodbye.Japanese involvement could bring in China.
What frosts my cookies is that these sovereign nations would drag the US into a shooting war.A war that would bring international commerce to its knees for years.
Their are some HUGE industries there that touch every corner of the world(Fuji Heavy Industries & Hyundai Group both leap to mind).Crippling.
I wonder how much food that have in reserve?And how long they'd last if the appeasement aid were stopped.And of course,how long after that before there was war again?
I dunno.I would go though.A nice quiet vacation.
