I hold that MAD will keep things in check. I'm not worried about a nuclear conflict.
However there is something abhorent and wicked in a country like North Korea where millions suffer for the betterment of a small military cadre and elite. North Korea is further isolating itself from the world, and only the peasants who are in the service of the military will suffer.
I hope things change for the better. There should be one Korea, but there is only one system that works on its own merits. And it isn't Chinese funded despotism.
I don't know...North Korea said they would never use nuclear weapons first unless they were clearly threatened. And North Korea's definition of being threatened seems to be pretty lax...
