The South Korean government is getting ready for a military confrontation with North Korea, and the latter is also getting ready for the military show down. But a closer evaluation of the status of each of these countries would reveal that North Korea may not be able to really fight against the really superior South Korea on any format, be it naval or air or ground war.
And US also is waiting to put it’s weight behind South Korea to use this opportunity to regain the global super power dominance, that is no more with it since the beginning of 2000.
So expect North Korea to act smartly under the special advise of China, and expect an amicable solution to the South Korean ship sinking tussle.
