I thought about that. “North” North Korea - administered by China, and “South” North Korea, administered by South Korea. Absorbing the North is just way too costly for the South Koreans or the ChiComs to handle alone.

Korea ~ historic Korea ~ is split into three parts. Although it's not frequently mentioned there is a large chunk of China that's butt up against North Korea where people speak Korean, and in ancient times actually thought of themselves as Koreans.

The smallest of the three kingdoms was in the South and was readily accessible to the Japanese and was not as xenophobic as the other two kingdoms. The middle kingdom, today's North Korea, was always xenophobic and exceedingly totalitarian.

Nothing has really changed!

Maybe not. The Republic of Korea (South Korea) is perhaps the most advanced country on Earth. Which is amazing, as they were just emerging from third world status when I served there (1978-79 and 1981-82) and still used large charcoal briquets (Ondol) to heat and cook with. They are VERY HARD WORKERS so it’s no accident. If the Germans (another group of hard workers) can assimilate their communist sector, I’m sure the Koreans can too.

Maybe North North Korea should think about selling South North Korea to South Korea.

Kind of like a Louisiana Purchase.

The North North Korea South North Korea South Korea Purchase.

It sings! History will love it!
