#1 Ima guessing that the result of this whole fiasco is that the ROK and the US have not been so militarily and politically united at any other time since the Korean War. (Not to mention getting the Japanese onboard too.) Is this really what the Chinese wanted? Inscrutable.

#2 As things stand on the Korean Peninsula, IMO the only way for formal Inter-Korean Reunification to take place is iff both NOKOR + SOKOR have potent Nuke Arsenals [+ SSSHHHHH by extens also JAPAN], as complemented by US-led GMD-TMD.

US-LED SPACE STRIKE = US-LED SPACE DEFENSE. Instead of "Offensive Strike" versus "Defensive Strike', lets all be good Politicos + label both as "Active Defense" or "Limited Offense'.

THE PROB IS THAT "POST-US', "MAHANIST", "FUTURE WORLD #1" MAINLAND CHINA WILL LIKELY SEE THE BILATERAL NUCLEARIZATION OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA AS MORE EVIDENCE OF US INTENT TO ISOLATE + CONTAIN CHINA WIDIN ITS LIMITED HISTORICAL PARAMETERS.

'TIS A MAJOR OR SERIOUS PICKLE - OH YEAH, YOU BETCHA!

Again, unless China is made willing to delay or alter its anti-US "Manifest Destiny", a US-China confrontation + mil conflict in East Asia or Asia-Pacific before Year 2050 is all but absolut inevitable. EITHER CHINA CONCEDES, OR THE US MUST CONCEDE.

IFF NOT, BY DEFINITION "OUT THE WINDOW" THERE GOETHS THE US BELIEF THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE MAJOR OR WORLD WARS THRU 2050 IFF NOT THE REST OF THE 21ST CENTURY.
