Which when you think about it, was pretty much how the wheels came off in 1989 anyway..............
I've said for many years - only half joking - that we could solve the North Korean problem in six months. Just drop a million or so self contained TV sets over North Korea - rigged to pickup South Korean TV - with enough batteries to keep them running for a while. When the NK populace discovered how the rest of the world actually lives - they dump Kim and his cronies in a heartbeat.
It would certainly cost less than what's currently being spent to keep the North in check.
