wait len
china is totally in foul territory
so you cant mean china
& the bases werent loaded anyway
but i agree you are out of the ballpark
what you have here is just the wet extension of the dmz that is
open to innocent shipping
it is still part of the dmz
please see article 1 paragraph 5 of the 1953 dmz treaty
the dmz as a whole is the actual neutral zone
a true no mans land
or rather a true neithers land
& this exceptional so called neutral zone of the dmz is the one
part of the dmz that isnt quite so neutral as the rest
for it is actually more like a joint zone
insofar as both parties have the right of innocent passage
it is still real dmz tho as far as both shores
& i agree there could well be dmz claves anywhere the united
nations is present whether as an actual buffer or not
for real clave freaks
tho i dont know about that or them
anyway
there are of course numerous multipoints in all this mess
because the lines distinguishing the various parts do of course
meet at various places
but it is just a lot of whiffleball in relation to real multipointing
by contrast
the 4 de facto tripoints on cyprus
where the united nations buffer zone meets 2 of the 3 other
entities actually present there
whether greco or turko or anglo
are at least really multipartite
in every case
