Question I haven’t heard answered yet: If the two countries reunite, then which “president” will assume control over the “new”, whole, Korea? And, what will happen to the other one?
Is “Rocket man” just pulling a fast one to re-stock his inventory because Trump won’t pay him off, or is he serious?
Will the totally brainwashed Norks end up being a lot of trouble, like terrorism, commie activism, etc?
If Rocket Man doesn't have kids, maybe he'd be happy to take his 10 or 50 billion to Switzerland? Or, perhaps that's silly, because even as an insanely rich private citizen, you can't fire anti-aircraft shells at someone who ticks you off, and you never know when some prankster will smear you with VX.
It will become moot when the North Korean people discover freedom and prosperity.
It's a good question. I believe I'd push for a presidential election for the united Korea and Kim can be on the ballot if he wants to be. Or he can take a few billion dollars and move to China or somewhere.
I'm hopeful about all of this but I'm not counting my chickens just yet. I still think he's trying for a deal like Obama gave the Ayatollahs.
I don’t think reunification is on the table.
This is just a re-opening of diplomacy between the two nations - and treaties that might follow.
Kim wants us out - no US nuke threat, no protection of S. Korea - that’s what “denuclearization” means to him.
Trumps trying get some credit here - but he also is showing some healthy skepticism...I think he should stick the later until there is some more proof in the pudding.
If things don’t turn out favorable to the US - in his rush to take credit - he’ll own it.
I don't think Kim wants to be president. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an arrangement that allows him to step aside, keep his wealth, stay out of the firing squad, and remain something of a symbolic figurehead. He can go live a playboy's life in the south of France while an international commission of sorts takes over the North Korean armed forces and governance.
Does South Korea want to absorb 25 million backwards, starving, sickly, North Koreans? They saw the difficulties West Germany faced with the East almost 30 years ago and understand that they're even less prepared for reunification. The North is in pretty bad shape. It's going to take a lot of work.
