#1 ...because North Koreans are brainwashed from birth, some will still not welcome the southerners as liberators.

Piling loads of rice bags et al on the vehicles and tossing them overboard as you roll through populated areas will have a real disconcerting effect on the locals.

#2 You know what they should be reserving their fire for? FUCKING COUNTERBATTERY BARRAGES. That is, if they want to preserve something of their capital for posterity.

#3 Its likely a safe bet that USFK + ROK have long activated their HQ at BUSAN - Seoul may the ROK's sovereign + socio-cultural capital, but its NOT where the ROK will control or fight its war agz the North.

#4 ION MSN NEWS > NORTH KOREA LIKELY TO LAUNCH "RELATIVELY SMALL ATTACK" THAT WON'T LEAVE [too] MANY PEOPLE DEAD".

Uh, uh, YEAH = Oh JOY???

gut nuthin.

Again, NOKOR per se may not have it but NOKOR-overlord "post-US", future "World #1", "Rising/Mahanist" CHINA does.

* PACIFIC NEWS CENTER > THAAD DEPLOYMENT [to Guam] SEEN AS EVIDENCE US PENTAGON BELIEVES NORTH KOREAN THREAT MAY LAST FOR AWHILE.

Yuuup.

I concur.

Again, can CHINA be made willing to delay or amend, etc. its ambition to be the One-n-Only World Successor to the "weak/declining" US as Global #1???

China wants overseas PLA MIlbases vee the "First Island Chain" INCLUD REUNIFICATION + SOVEREIGNTY OVER TAIWAN BUT ITS N-O-T GETTING IT.

"Post-US", "World #1" wannabe China has said it wants to share the Pacific or Asia-Pacific wid the US but all it sees is the US entrenching + maintaining its Milbases WHILE CHINA HAS NONE.

At this point in time, I doubt China will care too much iff the DPRK + Kim Regime unilaterally collapsed, as a collapse means it + PLA is that much closer to China-desired Taiwan, Senkakus/Diaoyus, + Okinawa. IFF PRO-BEIJING ANALYSTS + BLOGGERS BELIEVE THAT CHINA CAN REBUILD A JAPAN DESTROYED BY CHINA IN ANY SINO-JAPAN NUCWAR. IMO CHINA WON'T CARE IFF THE DPRK IS DESTROYED EITHER IN WAR OR INTERNAL COLLAPSE.
CHINA WILL REBUILD + TAKEOVER A DESTROYED DPRK [+ ditto the ROK] JUST IT WILL A DESTROYED JAPAN.

#5 OOOPPSIES, forgot FREEREPUBLIC > US WILL SEEK "REGIME CHANGE" IN NORTH KOREA IFF ATTACK OCCURS.

Beijing is unlikely to accept this unless Beijing/China is in charge of any Coalition + implementation.

Lest we fergit, CHINA = has a lot of EXCESS MALES wid few or no Chinese Babes in China to marry. Ditto as per finding domestic employment for same, + ditto in both for the rest of EAST-SOUTH ASIA e.g. India + ASEAN. 'TIS ONE OF THE REASONS CHINA MAY NOT MUCHO MIND OR CARE IFF JAPAN + TWO KOREAS ARE WIPED OUT IN CONVENTIONAL OR NUCWAR.
