I hope South Korea is on high alert,trump cutting back the joint training and asking for more money

I wonder if Kim thinks it's an opportunity?

1. North Korea would be crushed by S. Korea if they dared attack.

Which is why the north is so desperate to develop weapons that can reach North American.

If not for China seeing North Korea as a buffer against an American allied democracy on their border North Korea would have been invaded and defeated long ago.

South Korea has a modern, large, well trained and motivated military. If war came they would go thru the north like shit thru a goose. But then have an impoverished nation to tend with. And of course, North Korean artillery could kill hundreds of thousands of civilians in the south.

China created N. Korea. Until they decide what to do with them we will live with this situation.

But unless the Kim regime is falling they will not attack the south.
