Postwar restoration / Russia and North Korea

Russian President Putin has announced his intention to advance eastward in cooperation with North Korea. One of the mysterious things about modern Russia is that a country with a low income level has steadily waged a unification war. And they have consistently experienced disadvantages. Russia will never lose its belligerent attitude, nevertheless. Neither will North Korea in that regard. Both countries are geographically isolated. Russia has never worried about NATO's invasion. North Korea has never worried about South Korea's invasion. It is only afraid of permanent isolation.

 

President Putin and President Kim Jong-un may be using the politics and economy of South Korean President Park Chung-hee as role models. The Park Chung-hee administration had a significant impact on the world. President Putin even requested President Kim Jong-un to send North Korean troops to the Ukrainian front. At that time, President Putin would have convinced President Kim Jong-un to obtain the same effects as President Park Chung-hee's financial income and practical experience from sending him to Vietnam.

 

If the end of the war in Ukraine is confirmed, the world will again experience the expansion of the post-war economy that it did not want. NATO will provide Ukraine with financial support like the Marshall Plan, and Russia will cooperate with North Korea to restore the post-war period. The war is miserable, but economic growth that begins at the zero standard will be lively. The United States and Europe after the Second World War, Japan after the Korean War, and Korea after the Vietnam War were. It has become so common that it should be expressed by purifying it to human 'universal economic activity'.

 

As I mentioned several times last time, I wonder what the West should have done to accept Russia's liberal government without making a wary about it when the former Soviet Union collapsed. Of course, the same can be said of the present North. But things would not go in the ideal direction in an instant. It is highly likely that any country will lose its belligerence unless it is isolated.

 

The most extreme example of technology loss in Australia is the island of Tezmania, about 200 kilometers off the southeastern coast of Australia. During the Red Turban Age, when sea levels were low, the barren Bath Strait, which currently separates Tasmania and Australia, was also dry land. Therefore, the people who lived in Tasmania were only a part of the people who lived together in the wider Australian continent than they are now.

 

The Tasmanians and mainland Australia were cut off from each other about 10,000 years ago when seawater eventually entered the strait. This is due to the fact that there were no ships on either side that could cross the Bath Strait. Since then, more than 4,000 Tasmanian hunter-gatherers have lost contact with any human beings on Earth and have been living in a thorough isolation that can only be found in science fiction.
