I know there's a thread about DPRK and war, but I wanted to focus on a different aspect to the prospects of war.
In short, how could the madness end? War is one possibility, but it would likely go nuclear, and surely no ones mad enough to want that? Peoples revolution? I get the impression that the totalitarian oppression over there is sufficient to be the possible only justifiable use of the adjective Orwellian in the real world. Just not possible. I sort of hoped that when daddy snuffed it a while back, calmer heads might prevail within the inner party, and there would be an immediate rethink of the insane and counter productive foreign policy tactics that are employed. But no, it seems to be deeply ingrained within their way of thinking. No chance of reform, radical or even moderate, in the near future.
So how can you picture it ending? Surely something has to change?
