Kim Jong Un and the Nuclear Game-Boys

President Trump has taken a harder attitude toward North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong Un who has continued his family’s policy of developing nuclear weapons and delivery infrastructure. Clinton-Obama containment policies were demonstratively ineffective and stopping the increase of Dictator Kim’s nuclear arsenal. What can President Trump actually accomplish to change Kim’s policy short of war?

Without the prospect for war the Dictator probably hasn’t an incentive to quit developing nuclear weapons. Perhaps Dictator Kim has the goal of reaching a weapons abundance level that would create a mini-MAD policy of security. Modern dictators require external enemies and internal civil repression to stay in power in addition to a reign of terror on potential dissidents.

North Career isn’t in the Cold War criterion as it formerly was though. China that has moved further towards a mixed capitalist economy has less reason to support a hard core communist dictatorship in the region that indirectly threatens its own economic security. China would probably profit from a regime change that would unify North and South Korea in a capitalist economy with an increase in trade.

During the transition that allowed foreign investment in Chinese business North Korea was a useful bad dog on a chain distracting western attention away from China, and it was non-threatening to the Chinese. All of that has changed though, and Dictator Kim is rather out there on his own and most appealing to Moslem terrorists seeking to end western world economic dominance through nuclear destruction of Euro-American economic security perhaps via attacking Washington, Moscow, Paris and London.

Chess is a game that can be learned from early childhood enabling one to attain grandmaster status in adulthood. Such individuals may be like idiot savants that have nothing besides chess on their minds. In the modern world gaming theory has become more important. Stock market computer trading scamming was developed with the tools of the Monte Carlo algorithm initially. Computer trading programs to automate profit extraction through quantitative trading, like chess gaming structures using real people as analog pieces, may be applied with sociopathic disregard for the reality of individuals in the real social world. Communist dictators following Marxist theory have traditionally risen to the level of being political sociopaths killing civil political foes. In the modern global communications environment it is practical for sociopathic gaming communications players also to extend their paradigms.

Military games theorist alone would know if it is militarily possible to successfully war with North Korea with minimal friendly casualties. Real world military gamers have pattern and composition analytic criteria designed to model reality. Chess and computer market model profit systems have no regard for the reality of individuals though. They are limited to sociopathic power perceptions of individuals of the real world as objects and externalities of no meaning.

The profusion of cruise missiles might be able to destroy North Korea’s ability to launch mass artillery attacks on the south. North Korean power centers might be destroyed with tactical nuclear weapons. It is quite difficult for non-specialist to guess what a one-day war would be like. Apparently, short of war, virtually nothing can be done to change North Korea’s nuclear weapons development. That is not an ideal ecological economic direction of reform/

In the aftermath of war whereat North Korea and south are unified, one would expect that the economic recovery would be comparable to that of the reunification of Germany after the Cold War. It seems likely that the emaciated, oppressed North Koreans would enjoy liberation from the Dictator and his insiders. The public is usually opposed to war-especially nuclear war. If given a choice many would prefer to be on a winning rather than a targeted side of such a conflict.

President Trump’s political timing might be another factor in the decision to put a regime change on North Korea. With the inability to replace Obamacare with a cost and service effective system such as expanding the V.A. Hospital system an treating civilians too that are poor, a nuclear conflict with North Korea might make it difficult to get the Trump agenda done in the remainder of his term yet the market should recover with increased Korean economic investment prospects. Harry Truman wasn’t re-elected one recalls. For grandmasters scaling up their analog targets from individuals to nations, controlling global war economics might be a daunting task.
