The Korea Crisis

It's fascinating how we are living history. Especially now with the Koreas on the verge of war.  Sometimes I stop to think what would history write of this event 50 years from now? For now, we just fill ourselves with questions. Will there be another Korean War II? What would be the outcome of this war? Will this war finally leads to reunification? What would happen to Korea's economy? However, these questions will go unanswered until a decade later.

Korean unification is imminent. Whether it would happen in this crisis, or later in the future, is not up to us to decide. But I firmly believe the merge would come hopefully sooner rather than later. It could be during Kim Jong Un's reign, or maybe his son, or someone in North Korea. It could be possible that there is already plans to overthrow the Kim's family 100+ of power right within North Korea itself!

But still, it would have been nice to visit North Korea before the merge. After all, it is where the last traces of the 1940's lives is, and it must have been an eye-opener experience to see the propagandas and the drastically different lifestyle of North Koreans. Even their dressing is the 1940's style!

Now that China has announced a nay for North Korea's threatening actions to USA and South Korea, it seems highly unlikely that there will be a Korean War II. After all, North Korea can only be this strong. With only itself to enter the war is like saying to send the entire country into ruins.

It's a pity North Korea still believes in the 1940s' way of thinking - war solves everything. I don't need to be a know-it-all to know all these missile launches are plain stupidity. Do you even have enough food to feed your people before you start with all the nuclear threats? Can you be 100% sure that your citizens have a place for shelter before you decide to lunge into all these missile testing? Are your people receiving the proper education for them to survive? Or wait...North Korea feeds its citizens knowledge of ignorance, so that doesn't really matters...  Nevertheless, the basics aren't even there, so what's with you showing off your "highly advanced" nuclear technology?

So if we want to have an idea of how people think back in the 1940s, look at North Korea.
