as a South korean who will be most effected by this, benefits and losses all, hell no. it sends a bad precident, even though ROK's MASSIVE mechanized/armored forces can just blizkrieg through the country, the initial artillary stike on the capitol reigion would not be worth it. plus, it would ailienate the north korean folk. plus, while PRK will never give up on nukes (its the only card they have), they wouldn't use it. PRK's leaders are just greedy, not stupid. we've seeen this happen with a lot of post colonial countries. NK is actually some of the smarter of the bunch, they at least got something done.

You know, you could do the exact same thing for the opposite, show a picture of a rich part of an African country with a poor part of North Korea.

eh no? NK's better off than central africa, somalia, and places like that. at least there is LAW and ORDER, however skewed they might be, thats enforced. and at least you have manditory education so no one is illiterate, though thats MOSTLY cause hangul is just so dang easy to learn (cheers to king sejong the great for that)

This is exactly why the US is considered a bigger threat to peace than North Korea.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

This isnt even Poenjiang but a smaller town. And if NK is so poor how come they can devolope some nukes then?

North Korea has an annual nominal GDP of $25 billion, which sounds like a lot until you realize that it works out to a pathetic $1,000 per capita. Most people actually receive far less than that, because the tyrannical government keeps the majority of that $25 billion and pours it into things like developing nuclear weapons. This is all information that took about five minutes worth of research.

So NK is very poor and that picture is probably either taged for propaganda (like the empty buildings within sight of the South Korean border that serve no purpose other than to [badly] imply prosperity in NK) or it is a picture from another country that is simply being claimed to be North Korean.

I'm pretty sure that Trump will do it once impeachment is imminent so he can stay in power. I don't think what NK does is very relevant. By threatning they have already given him the excuse.

Because they have enormously high military expidentures for their GDP.
