67. I think that is a rather poor comparison.

First, South Koreans enjoy a pretty damn high standard of living, especially compared to the hellhole of the North, so the chances of a Korean conflict turning into a guerrilla war in which the NK's enjoy significant popular support amongst the SK's is slim to none.

Second, the Soviet Union is not going to re-form and supply the NK's. The only benefactor state NK can hope for is China, and it does not appear at all likely that NK could count on supplies coming overland through China if they instigate armed conflict.
