#1 ION NORTH KOREA> As per WMF, NOKOR has repor deployed as many as 300,000 troops to its borders wid CHINA in order to stop via deadly force the flow of ordinary Nokors trying to escape death by STARVATION. JAPANESE MEDIA Artic alleges that the sound of gunfire can be routinely heard every day on the NOKOR side as people are allegedly being shot down to prevent escape into CHINA. Also, SOUTH KOREA repor faces a realistic prospect of a "FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL" TYPE EVENT OCCURRING as desperate Nokors flee the SINO-NOKOR borders + murderous Nokor border troops in favor of forcing entry into the South???

#2 Joe, any attempt by imaginary starving NKors to rush the DMZ would result in an inadvertent bloodbath as bad as any of the Basji minefield clearance operations of the Iran-Iraq War. It's the single most heavily mined and fortified border in the world. I'm pretty sure it won't happen.

And the Berlin Wall fell via a back-door through Hungary & Austria, if I recall correctly. The dancing & wall-destruction didn't come until there was as many East Germans on the west side as the east, if not more. It's not like anybody ever stormed Checkpoint Charlie.

#3 You're right about Berlin, Mitch. The Wall came down after, holes knocked in it from the West Berlin side, as I recall.

#4 Won't we see groups of "insiders" defecting first, by which I mean more than the few starving or the lucky families. I'm thinking of small boats of sailors and associates, maybe small convoys of mid-level officials and families perhaps at the Russian border.

I'd expect that would be the signal that the flood was coming. Otherwise, there will be much bloodshed, from many directions, if it's simply crowds all over - how would the ROK distinguish whether it's psyops or Mariel-like?
