Fascinating piece in the Journal (needs subscription) by a NK defector. During his

debriefing by SK Intel people, it became clear to him that propping up NK

was the main aim of the South’s “sunshine policy” & that terror of an NK

collapse, with following floods of refugees (spelled “cheap labor”), is a

major factor in SK strategy towards the North. Not very surprising, but

nice to see it from one who should know. Not actually that irrational,

either–but very short-sighted. Also immoral: “We mind NK-ers flooding our

labor markets much more than we mind them starving to death by the million.”
