Yeah, what will the country with 2x their population, 40x their economy, and a modern military stocked with Western gear do?That's a fair point, but I am also thinking of the development and procurement aspects the article brings up. It's a pretty long timeline. And, what if the North Koreans decided to come over the DMZ?
Imagine how scary it would be for the NK regime for thousands of their people to see the living standards enjoyed south of the DMZ.
