I mean, we'd finally get a unified Korea, i guess.

Yea um no, that is certainly what the far right Dirty Harry warhawks think yes. But I agree, it would not be that simple for the reasons I stated in prior posts. 

A conventional war would still require some agreement between America and China as to who gets the leftovers even if nukes dont get shot off. China isn't going to allow a unified western style Korea exist at it's border, and South Korea doesn't want a Chinese takeover ending at the DNC. 

Even a conventional war, or even simple air strikes even without boots on the ground will trigger a power vacuum fight and that will get bloody even without nukes. Point being, there are no good options for Trump outside what sanctions and diplomacy.

Could probably get away with a slight territorial concession on the north side, to appease china, but i doubt it'd be small enough that the South would like it.
