Taking care of North Korea in the near-term would be a huge economic burden on South Korea. South Koreans are willing to do it, but reunification will be a much tougher burden than reuniting West and East Germany. And apart from the ideological differences people in the North have been brainwashed with, there are huge and growing cultural differences—even the Korean language spoken in North and South is diverging more and more.
And then what?!?! Cleaning up the MASSIVE HUMANITARIAN DISASTER created by communism. Disease, starvation, illness, depravity...
There won’t be a reuniting of the two for their cultures language, and lifestyles are night and day now. N.Korea operates in the 50’s......the culture shock for N.Korean defectors is always evident.....terrible awakening to see you’ve been brainwashed for decades and left behind the rest of the world......and that it was the USA that was feeding you what little that could get through Fatboys hands.
An entire nation in shock flooding over the borders could not be sustained.
