Really good thoughts. And pontoon bridges or other temporary structures have their limitations.
With that said, I don’t really see S. Korea wanting to invade N. Korea. Short of a radical change in leadership.
For imperial measuring Americans that’s 86,500 square miles which is close to the size of Rhode island (which is itself about 2.27% of the US).
So I talked to a PhD who’s work covered civil wars across the world, and asked about this. Turns out there are several signs you need to see which makes a civil war more likely. Most of which we haven’t even gotten close to, because many of them are economic related and right now the US is still the single largest economy in the world where peoples standard of living is still very comfortable.
I asked ChatGPT to describe this and these are the highlights, in order of historical priority?
Note that the US does have some of these, but not to the evident level that you saw in Rwanda, Sudan, Yugoslavia, Syria, Burundi, Eritrea, Somalia, Libya, Myanmar, Haiti, and others. In short, if you look at the indicators, although the US is indeed troubled, it’s not troubled enough for people to hot the streets with more than riotous intent.
