This makes me wonder: if the north goes to war with the south all of a sudden and enough people die, the corresponding demographic collapse could be enough to leave the south empty within a generation

Ten years ago I would’ve scoffed and said the rest of the world wouldn’t let it happen

Now, having seen what Russia and Israel are being allowed to get away with, I guess you can just invade and commit war crimes whenever you feel like it. Maybe some people will send you some arms, but otherwise, South Korea will be on their own.
