Reunify peacefully with the south and never worry about food again. What’s so freaking hard about that? It is ridiculous that these two are still divided AND OVER WHAT? the will of one man? We need to seriously step up the propaganda effort against the North. The North Korean people need to know that we don’t want to kill them, we want to peacefully reunite them with their families in the south and lead them into a new age of prosperity. We need to be disseminating AM/FM radios into North Korea by the millions.
Make the radios the hand crank ones...N. Korea has spotty electricity, and use the existing VOA budget. We are broke to the tune of $1.31 trillion per year.
The problem with reunification is many S. Koreans don’t want it. They’ve become accustomed to their lifestyle and know well to unify means less for them. Additionally the people of N.Korea have been brutiliszed and undernourished for so long it has affected mentally and physically...let alone living under Kim’s personality cult.
The refugies have very difficult time adjusting to modern times and the abundunce in the south. Additionaly the people have little education.....many of the woman who escape end up as prostitutes or in the human trafficking
web.
It would take a International effort of great perportion to even get their country on a level keel to sustain itself. And countries currently have great problems already. It’s just a very sad and difficult situation all around.
While that might mean that the N.K. people could eat again, it would also mean the S.K. people would be on the hook for feeding them. Does S.K. really want that?
Plus the leader in the north will never give up power peacefully, whether it's the current dictator or a future one.
