He should be
Come to think of it a coup by the right people might actually be the best outcome for the people of NK.
absolutely not, military dictatorship will be worse than what NK is already going through
Just take all your leaders with you while you leave and have the people fend for themselves. Can't have a coup if there's no one home to do it.
Fuck no, coup's only replace the leader and essentially make the whole situation worse.
lol
TBF the country is already basically a military dictatorship.
I think at this point it wouldnt make much of a difference. I guess one positive aspect would be that it would show the more gulible people that Kims aren't infallible gods and that they can in fact be replaced. But who knows what the hell a change of power would bring.
I can believe there's some war hawks that are worried that ending the nuclear program would end the regime, and then there's probably a faction that just wants him deposed period.
Probably some people in the military not being happy with his increesing talks with the US and South Korea.
Exactly, this isn't some kind of peoples revolution, it's people that have been in comfortable places who do not want the country to move towards modernization, because that will eventually lead to them losing their power and if things go far enough, prosecuted.
No. If they play their cards right no one will be held up to any responsibility like for example the contras or Kazakhstan. They will however lose power to businesses and if NK opens up its going to be a race between China and the US to see who gets as much influence as possible, the current regime will enjoy a lofty position as a child between two rich parents going through a divorce would. I assume Kimmy just doesn't want to do an idiot like trump any favors and is going to hold off until next election cycle.
Should NK fall to a military coup or international action in the next few years, it's going to send a clear message. Never, ever negotiate or make deals with the USA. They'll always break them and backstab you.
This video should give you some insight why everything that's shit is very hard to make not shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs
If any faction was going to carry out a coup now, it'd be hardliners who are against detente.
Not really. The military is super close to the Kim dynasty but they don't run the show. Kim runs the country with the military's backing, and the military is "loyal" to some degree. It is true that if Kim enacted too many crazy and out of whack policies (westernisation for example) they may overthrow But nobody should back a military coup, it's going to be a million times worse
