Thunder Run to Seoul: Assessing North Korea’s War Plan
The assessment predicts: &quot;Tens or hundreds of thousands could become casualties&quot; ... in the event of an all-out DRPK&#x2F;(US+ROK) conflict.<p>One factor to consider here is what happens if <i>no conflict</i> occurs?  In that case, there are ... <i>still</i> likely tens of thousands of civilian deaths happening as the status quo in North Korean labor camps[1].
