I don't think the piglet will try anything during the games, because I think he's figured out if he does anything much more than one of his missile tests, he and his regime would be burnt toast, within minutes.

Can't disagree with anything you've posted.
I really only used the word "cancelled" to stimulate some interest in responding to the thread as I believe the more likely negative outcome is a financial disaster for SK. You make very good points about non-western attendance. I have no clue as to how much SK is indebted to the success of the games, but as February approaches and
if the revenue from visitors does not flow in and other countries refuse to send teams there may be a financial disaster in the making.
