However unlikely as it may seem we can't afford to be complacent, I still cringe at the prospect of these two superpowers going all-out in the Chosŏn Pando region, it could kick start a new world war...
Although, America has no interest in obliterating North Korea, likewise the reunification of Korea is also against their militaries interests, as any entrepreneur would tell you "solving all the world's problems is very bad for business", it has no resources in relative comparison to say what the Middle East has to offer, so invading it would be a costly waste of time and effort, its simply treated with apathy at best and considered an annoyance at worse.
