I would tend to agree.
I don't think the North and South Korea situation, if it emerges into conflict, is going to be the kind of place where what we call complex peace operations will be valuable in the initial stage. I think there's going to be much more involvement by the large players, particularly China and the United States, and I think they will determine the pathway. I don't think it's a revisiting of the 1950s. I think it's entirely something else. I'm like David; I cannot wrap my mind around what that looks like.
In 1950 there was the “uniting for peace” resolution, which at the General Assembly was fairly easy; this is something else entirely. There's some argument that it may take us back into the timeframe of our fathers' world, in which sovereign states will be much more at play than intrastate conflict: you do have a North and South Korea, and all the other players in the neighbourhood are quite powerful states.
