<p style=”margin: 0in 0in 8pt;”><span style=”color: #111111; line-height: 107%; font-family: ‘Georgia’,serif; font-size: 10.5pt;”>The winner in 1953 was without a doubt the South Koreans, who with help successfully defended their part of Korea from the North. Although the China and the Russia benefited from the war temporarily the US was able to maintain their foothold in the pacific indefinitely. Today, the South Koreans are able to defend their country will very little help from other nations if need be due to their rapid development of their country’s infrastructure and technology. North Korea has not grown at the same pace and has been unable to keep up. They will continue to suffer in North Korea and not grow as long as they continue to run their country in the manner they do. China and Russia will not allow South Korea to take North Korea with the US alliance they have developed. North Korea one day will fall but it will be at the hands of its own ally’s and because of their will. We are at a stale mate and unable to defeat Russia and China together therefore today there are no winners because the end of North Korea’s reign will come at great cost to either its enemies today our its ally’s. </span></p>
