Cap, not to mention this would seriously rattle the Russians as well, widening the American sphere of influence in the Sea of Japan. It would also affect military traffic through the Yellow and East China seas, possibly having implications for the Ryukyu islands dispute and the Taiwan independence question. Seems like a chain of issues would be affected by this.
I feel that a South-run North with American forces occupying the whole Korean peninsula would seriously jeopardize stability in the region.
