They're more likely to take incremental steps, over many years, rather than rush into a Germany-type scenario." Post-Cold War realignments that have seen both Russia and China abandoning their traditional hostility to Seoul and building ever-closer relations with South Korea have left the Dear Leader little choice but to make nice with the South.

So you have to ask whether that mood suggests that our standing military is too big for the post-Cold War era. Should we cut off a large chunk of our military to create a separate peacekeeping force? That's a solution many in the military won't be comfortable with, but it's a qeustion that will be raised by studies like this." The way things are going...
