Document Summary
South korea already knows the missiles work so they are researching new ways of how they can be used better or how many can be launched at once. Problem w this is that it creates a quick escalation of conflict which can be a crisis (this has 3 parts: short time, serious threat, most be unexpected) If south korea strategy is offensive it shortens time b/w them b/c you have to launch 1st. And if others think that they are playing a offensive game than it can put pressure on you making it unstable b/c you might launch 1st. This comes from a german insecurity and bismark who had 1 thing that motivated his strategy would be germany never fighting itself w a war on 2 fronts. So from the west (france) and east (russia) so attacks from both can hurt them a lot.
