The biggest thing that has stopped coup's in NK is mostly the fear any fracture in leadership would encourage the US or SK to "liberate" the north and those who got in power through the coup would soon lose it. Ultimately however as the North Korean people get more exposed to outside information the more the faith in the ruling class diminishes. I wouldn't be all that surprised if a few generals quietly got rid of Un.

Zeroisanumber posted:Yeah, I'm pretty sure that he just doesn't want to be seen with a leg brace on. If there really had been a coup then Best Korea would be shut up tighter than a crab's rear end in a top hat. Depends on the type of coup, not all involve tanks and bombs. The most effective ones are always the ones that go large unnoticed for a long time. The recent outreach by senior NK officials points at the leadership finally being fed up with the extremely mediocre quality of life for even NK's elite.

William Bear posted:Now that you mention it, what is life like for a non-Kim elite in NK? The average high military officer or divisional chief, for example. I think I heard that they live like American lower middle class, i.e. they have a house, a car, some electronics and they won't starve. Really the best thing the NK elite have access to is nice cars, but not much other than that. Many of the high officials who have defected to south Korea remark that living qualities outside the top few that surround the Kim's are surprisingly mediocre with the only real permanent luxury they have is they won't starve to death. Mightypeon posted:They live ok, but are butthurt because random Chinese People live better. The NK military is hyped up to be way more powerful than it really is, since the collapse of the soviet union their army has been literally rusting away.

Arbite posted:Nevermind launching, it's 54 Kilometers from Kaesong to Seoul. Logistically speaking, what is stopping NK from spending a few years digging a tunnel underneath Seoul? What would the effects of an underground explosion on such a metropolis be, for that matter? Digging a 54 kilometer long tunnel is a lot easier said than done. Also a lot of people undersell the fact the SK military really doesn't gently caress around when the North tries to pull poo poo like that.
