The Price of War With North Korea
It is all but inevitable that many thousands of South Koreans and Americans would be sacrificed.The Demilitarized Zone exists because the U.S. could find no way to defeat North Korea at an acceptable price.
That is still true. The price is unacceptable.
China would come in again.
A land war with China does not have a victory.
Nuclear war does not have a victor.
