<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 8242719, member: 16729&quot;]Right.&nbsp; It&#039;s not that North Korea&#039;s &quot;trajectory&quot; is up, up, up, like that of South Korea. It&#039;s the fact that they have survived and thrived after <b>several</b> nation-crushing crises (such as the 1996-1997 devastating famines caused by floods, years they call the &quot;Arduous March&quot;) that, if scaled appropriately for size and impact, would have destroyed pretty much any other country on this planet.&nbsp; North Korea survived them, AND went on to do things like make nukes and ensure their security going forward.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anything can happen, but my money&#039;s on that regime&#039;s survival.&nbsp; Especially in the current rising trend of authoritarian thinking and governing that&#039;s becoming popular even in Western democracies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
