    My guess is that South Korea probably only will become directly involved if the US does, and frankly, if the US becomes directly involved, I think that Russia’s going to either fold or play nuclear hardball, either of which kind of shuffles expanded conventional conflict out of the picture.

      Russia has absolutely zero chance against the United States in a conventional war. so you’re right, that they’ll either capitulate, or destroy the world.

        And even if that’s 90% capitulate, 10% destroy the world, those aren’t really odds I’m interested in taking.

      The US isn’t interested in direct involvement, they want infinite stalemate.
