This topic is a hypothetical, not necessarily a plan for ST6's next mission.
President Obama to President Elect Trump North Korea is the single highest priority U.S. foreign policy issue
Pakistan is considered the only majority Muslim nation with a nuclear military arsenal. For years this was a point of heightened concern.
But that concern is now rivaled by the recently nuclearized North Korea.
IIIIIII Sanity Check IIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The Kim Jong dynasty seeks nuclear military capability for one overriding purpose: self-preservation.
HYPOTHETICAL:
If friends / allies of South Korea could temporarily capture KJU, and simply educate him to the following reality:
- He can try to muscle his way along, thereby placing himself at constant risk of military contest. OR ...
- He can enlighten up, start providing a standard of living in NK comparable to that experienced by the comparable peasants in China.
a) To actually do this could be quite risky. BUT !!
b) Doing so might help avoid a nuclear war in Asia, and perhaps the U.S. as well.
Should President Trump consider that option "on the table"?
Historic Note:
The French Revolution happened AFTER the reforms.
Relaxing KJU's iron grip on his People might well be suicidal for him. Is that reason enough he'd never consider it?
Or is it reduced to a gamble? Which is more likely?
- The West wiping NK out, or
- regime changing insurrection?
& KJU picks his poison?
