EE chats was temporarily turned into a DS&T thread during the discussion of a possible war between North and South Korea. Due to current tension I think it would be nice to have a thread to discuss the issues between these two nations.
The first thing I would like to talk about is: Will there be a war between the two again?
Here's an interesting article about the current tensions.
Foxnews article
The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
There is a pretty good template for NK being absorbed by SK.
West Germany managed to absorb East Germany.
And NK going away wouldn't really lessen China's global influence.
China - ancient country, nuclear power, economic and manufacturing power .. really doesn't need a drama-prone backwaters pisshole as an 'ally'.

Germany needed the USSR to fail to unite. China won't fail. What China doesn't fear is a united Korea, but US-troops right at their border.rdx-fx wrote:

Japan were pretty much all over China and most of Asia until the US came
China today still has a pretty shitty army compared to the US. No military experience ftl lel.
If your referring to WWII learn your history mek. Japan were pretty much all over China and most of Asia until the Commonwealth, US & Russia came along.Mekstizzle wrote:

They were doing pretty good against Commonwealth forces early in the war, Russia were pretty much non-existant on that front until the very end. It was when the US entered that things started turning around for the Allies and going against Japan. Obviously the combined effort of all the Allies eventually defeated Japan but things weren't looking good for Commonwealth forces in the beginning

Japan attacked Pearl harbor simultaneously with attacking British territory. The US entered war with Japan at the exact same moment that the Commonwealth did, they suffered defeat almost as long as the commonwealth.
Please don't try to teach me about WWII. Try getting your facts from books rather than wikipedia yeah. As to your article, Im reading a book about the Gurkha's right now which unsurprisingly has a heavy focus on the Burma campaign...
Your original statement is simply ignorant bullshit.

lol
anyway back to north Korea, hopefully the Chinese just drop support for them. The only link they actually have is that they are both communist. Its not in China's international interest to support them from what I can see.

The fact is commonwealth forces were already in Asia/pacific theatre and losing battles whereas the US had to come to it. So my original statement still rings true. Commonwealth and Russian forces didn't come to Asia and kick Japan out, like I said... commonwealth forces were already there, losing battles (until afterwards) and USSR was right at the end when it was basically over.Vilham wrote:

Seriously if China tried the mass troop rush thing today, 1930's-style... it would end badly.

Wrong. We would love to leave. We've been looking for ways to leave for years now, but the RoKs keep finding ways to keep us there.mr.hrundi wrote:
