They don't care for their own people. So they would eventually start something and they will of course be beaten up in later stage. Seoul will win undoubtedly. My guess is China will relax more, as it supports North only for the very sake of illusion, and Russia might oppose something in the UN, but Un is no longer a body that anyone fears when making a war. But before victory of the South, Seoulites will be hit, their homes smashed, their properties damaged. Also young generation really does not want to sacrifice anything. I did not want to sound too sarcastic, but ever present consumerism make them sometimes a bit too selfish.Agnieszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587587767994819012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420942063377714211.post-79525294185740814342012-02-26T11:03:17.228-08:002012-02-26T11:03:17.228-08:00N.Korean strategy consists of blackmail and brinkm...N.Korean strategy consists of blackmail and brinkmanship to get some concessions from S.Korea and US. People in S.Korea get used to this strategy so they don't mind and keep on living their normal life. <br /><br />At any rate N.Korean blackmail and brinkmanship are providing a sobering effect to S.Korean people and to the contrary of N.Korean intentions to intimidate and disturb the S.Korean society, they contribute to leaving it more healthy and vibrant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
