I get the feeling poo poo is gonna a go down​ with the Norks this year. Tillerson is saber ratling in Japan and for once, I think it might actually lead to something.

People talk about the oil with Iraq, but I'm pretty sure the real money was in the building and service contracts the US government paid out to US companies for years (not that I need to tell this forum).

Think about all the construction that would occur in a place like a defeated NK. Think about all the service contracts that would get picked up by such upstanding firms as the Flynn Intel Group.

And a war is a great excuse to nip away at the margins of civil liberties and freedom of the press. If I were Bannon et al, I'd probably be dipping my toes in a couple hot spots around the world to see what potential conflict has the best ROI before going full bore too.

Maybe NK will be the one.

I don't see NK being profitable for anyone except undertakers. We're talking about hundreds of thousands, probably millions of civilian deaths.

People film themselves eating and critiquing MREs and upload those videos to YouTube. I'm almost certain there's someone out there who does that and also has strong feelings about circumcision.

Unlike bombing "insert random middle eastern, central asian, african nation" any war with the north would have drastic consequences for South Korea. Which if wikipedia is to believed is the 11th largest economy by GDP in the world, not to mention a major economic force in Asia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)

Setting aside the massive humanitarian catastrophe. The world-wide economic effects would be brutal. Then again this plays into Steve Bannon's worldview of complete world chaos so a Great White American can rise again, so yea...

Trump did say earlier than the strongest unused tool against Norks is China, and that he would leverage them via trade in order to produce better results re: Norks. I guess that's a decent/reasonable approach.

The hacking / sabotage stuff is cool and reminds me of the cold war, but it's just going to buy time until whatever big thing occurs.

Is assassinating KJU off the table still due to devil-you-know reasoning?

I think if anyone was going to assassinate Fatty, it would be China. I think that fear of that was what drove him to have Kim Jong-Fredo assassinated last month.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

Pretty much every South Korean I've ever spoken to about the North (And I lived there for 2 years in the deep dirty south) doesn't give a tammany gently caress about the North. I had been over there for like 2 months when the Cheonan got mined/torpedoed and all my relatives back home were freaking out. Koreans were just like "Meh, happens all the time."

Even when a bunch of their poo poo got hacked, they didn't care. Hell, some thought it was their own government who hosed up and blamed it on the North.

They're smart and pragmatic enough to know that war with North Korea will destroy them economically. Plus, the generation with living relatives North of the DMZ is almost gone. There's no familial bond between the newer generations on either side. They don't care, and they sure as poo poo don't want tens of millions of starving, brainwashed, uneducated people coming in. Imagine your average defector from the North;

1) They have no skillset for the modern world, especially not for modern-day Korea. (Defectors can't understand how a ATM works; they think there's someone on the other side pushing their money through the slot)
2) Decades of malnourishment has probably left them with medical issues. SK has good healthcare, really good, and would be utterly destroyed by a massive influx of NK refugees. The entire social net would collapse overnight from the weight.
3) Gen X/Millennials in SK have nothing in common whatsoever with their counterparts in the North. They don't even really speak the same language anymore (Imagine the "cash me outside how bow dat" girl, and how her English sounds to the rest of us. That's how NK Korean sounds to the South)

IF there is ever going to be reunification it has to be on the terms of the North and the South. Sure as gently caress not due to Donne Dumbfuck starting a war and leaving the south holding the bag.

We all know that if it happens, he's going to kick down the loving door and bring the whole house down, while patting himself on the back about how great of a leader he is and how he made it all possible. All while ignoring that bringing down the regime was never the hard part (since the late 90's), it's the rebuilding and humanitarian work that is the tough one.

Then he'll proceed to gently caress off once the scale of the ensuing humanitarian crisis becomes clear to him and all of the other retarded chucklefucks that have his mindset.

Failing that, if things go wrong, he'll blame Obama.
