War between North and South Korea would quickly spiral into a global conflict that would draw in the US and Britain, a highly respected US think tank has warned.
Even if no nukes are fired and the US can take out Kim Jong-un quickly, South Korean and US forces would almost certain invade the North to push its artillery out of range of Seoul.
China’s massive army – the largest in the world – would then pour over its border to force back American troops, just as it did in the Korean War, the Rand Corporation said in a report out today.
Both forces would race to seize the hermit kingdoms arsenal of nukes and launch sites – leading to clashes.
The two superpowers also risk potential flashpoints across the globe, including over Taiwan, the South China Sea, Japan and India.
The Rand Corporation warned China would become a bigger threat to world security that Russia or Nazi Germany at the height of its power.
It urged Donald Trump to act now to halt the growing threat.
The report said: “North Korea’s pattern of provocative actions has increased the potential for a spiral of unintended escalations into conflict on the peninsula or even a preemptive American strike on North Korean nuclear assets.
“In the event of such a conflict, US and South Korean forces would likely seek to push north at least far enough to force the North Korean military out of artillery range of Seoul.
“The further US or South Korean forces advance beyond that point, the more likely a Chinese intervention.”
