  • The border between North and South Korea is the most militarized border in the world. Maybe the most militarized border in history. It's also been like this for 70 Years! Why is it like this? What is going on? BlueJay summarizes it and Mr. Terry adds the big picture!

      I sure hope it ends with peaceful reunification not violence. Either way one thing we do know is that the US is probably going to have to use it's huge logistical capacity to provide a lot of humanitian support during. I don't think it would be good for anyone to have an even less stable koeran penisula.

      Like East&West Germany but more extreme.
      East Germany was the richest nation of the Warsaw pact.
      West Germany was not as well off as the other major NATO allies.
      So the two were closer together economically than N/S Koreas.

    I was stationed in South Korea from 89 to 92 and we were always on alert. But stuff happened all the time on the DMZ when I was there. Also update on the black soldier who ran across to North Korea to get out of being deport back to the US for Rape. North Korea finally deported him back to South Korea. Basically when North Korea found out the girl involved was Korean they got pissed but used him for some favors in return.

    Growing up we had an italian ice guy. Instead of selling ice cream like the other trucks he sold italian ice. I learned how to count from my sister going over the prices of what he had and how much money I had. He was in Korea in 51. He was a good guy - I was kicked in the nuts by lyme disease and he'd stop at the end of his run for a chat. I was and still am a major history buff - as was he. One of my most prized possessions is a gift from him - a 1917 bayonet that his grandfather brought back from WW1. As he put it my kids want my stuff from Korea but don't care as much about history. I know it'll be going to a good place with you. The only things I cherish more are things from my grandparents and mother.

      The DMZ is actually the space between the "military zones" which like the video said has some endangered species thriving. So there is no military presence in that middle area, hence the name De-Militarized Zone.

    I first heard of Operation Paul Bunyan from Tom Scott on Citation Needed. He seriously underplayed how much manpower and hardware was involved in cutting down that tree. Also, have to mention the golf course at the DMZ. Camp Bonifas, the UN command post at the border, has a single par 3 hole that is surrounded on 3 sides by land mines.

    He doesn't even touch on the FUNNIEST part of Operation Paul Bunyan.
    The North Koreans initially opted to just NOT SHOW UP so that the whole thing could be spun as an act of 'pure unwarranted Western aggression' and they could pretend they weren't even aware of Op PB until after like it was no big deal.
    So rather than be spun into the 'bad guys' and waste their show of force?
    The US CONTACTED THE NK and told them they were there at that site to 'finish the work left unfinished' and imply THEY WERE ABOUT TO INVADE NK so that the NK actually HAD to send soldiers out to and acknowledge the show of force thinking rhey were about to defend against an invasion... and then BACK DOWN IN THE FACE OF IT in front of the ENTIRE WORLD when it turned out to just be cutting down that tree!

    It wasn't "divided between the United States and the Soviet Union". The US unilaterally ordered two soldiers, Dean Rusk and Charles Bonesteel, to carve Korea into two occupation zones, one for the US and one for the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was still marching south when the US made the decision. The US is primarily to blame for the pain of the Korean people today.

But anyway I don't believe we should've went to Vietnam because we actually didn't end the Korean war we were in for technically three years 1950-1953(?)!

    If NK had more citizen than SK then the "funniest" thing would be a reunification initiated by the NK ruling Dynasty and use their ex-population to get voted into power of a new Korea. It seems they have at best like a third of the population of SK though making it a bit less likely to happen that way.
    I guess the best outcome would be a coup by the NK military against the Dynasty and then a peaceful reunification but I doubt that would happen too.
    Next best thing would be a civilian revolution but I doubt it would be a peaceful transfer of power and "rocket man" might not be too happy and do something stupid in response.
    Wildcard would be if somehow the Dynasty somehow dies out, maybe a rocket accident or something, as that might result in power grabs and overall chaos in NK.
    But yeah overall I wish for a peaceful reunification and hence better treatment of NK citizen who are also basically victims of 24/7 brainwashing over there.
