What it concludes
- Whatever missile North Korea fired on 24th March 2022 possesses the capability to strike targets at a range of around 15,000 kilometers, placing nearly the entire world outside of South America within North Korean ICBM range.
- In an all-out war between North Korea and South Korea along with the United States, the North is 100 percent guaranteed to lose a conventional conflict.
- Tactical nuclear weapons give the Kim regime a fleeting glimpse of hope they could still somehow win against an invasion.
- North Korea is basically capable of just blackmailing China into continuing supporting them financially and militarily.
- By 2053, South Korea's population is projected to shrink from 52 million down to only 44 million, with 40 percent being over the age of 64.
- The best way for South Korea to continue deterring the North from an invasion would simply be for them to acquire nuclear weapons and missiles as well.
