Huh? "Temporarily weaken" hell - more like virtually collapse.. North Korea will require some $100 billion just to begin getting integrated with the South..

With all the international aid Pyongyang's extorting from the intl community now though, do you really think they're going to leave SK hanging to pick up the bill when there's a reliable channel for assuring stability on the peninsula -- we've dumped a lot of money focused on the wacky Kim regime threat -- that money's a lot better focused on positive operations -- take Kim out and we can get started -- leave Kim in and he keeps funneling our aid to his military (consequently increasing our costs to meet it).
