That’s why I think the best thing is to divide North Korea into four zones of Occupation between the US, Russia, China and South Korea, to ease the transition to Reunification.

Why not just break it and leave it to the Chinese, remaining under their sphere of influence?
If the Chinese choose peaceful reunification with SKorea, we don’t have a dog in that hunt.
