Seoul is actually pretty close to the DMZ. Plenty of rich folks there. If shit really kicked off the city could be obliterated by artillery pretty quickly. Not sure why DPRK would need to do “Hamas style attacks” when they could just do that instead.
Maybe because there are nearly 10 million people in Seoul and the wholesale bombardment of them would result in massive civilian casualties that would rightfully be condemned as a crime against humanity?
Well, yeah. Point was more just that there is no need for insurgent/Guerilla tactics when you have a massive conventional force dug in within shooting distance of a bunch critical potential targets.
What’s the demographics of the people who live on the South Korean border of the DMz?
Is it rich freaks, or is that where they shove poor and marginalized people?

I think hamas style is a placeholder for “justified counterattack against aggression” that makes it sound like a bad thing?

Sounds like South Korea needs to stop using the people of Seoul as human shields.
Yeah but when you imagine that the WPK is basically Korean Hamas, what does your boogeyman care for civilian casualties?

Close enough that the US bombed it a lot during the Korean war
