A United Korea

[Darth Omar]

A United Korea may be too optimistic of an outcome to consider. Then again, who knows? As little as a year ago who could have guessed there would be a summit in Singapore where there topic would be discussed? A year ago, Trump had us on the verge of a nuclear war with NK—or so it was said.

It would certainly change the geopolitical landscape, particularly in Asia.

What else would change?

It seems many liberals here wish this effort will fail only because Trump is president. What would their reaction be if this meeting happened 3-4 years ago? What will their reaction be if this effort is positive?

In terms of partisan politics, Trump would have to blow it bigly, to not get a second term lol.

But I’m less interested in that than how things would change geopolitically.

For a theory and a question? No wonder you flunked out of engineering school.

This is a situation were having an education comes in and I know not having an education is valuable to you. We got more in the agreement signed in 2005 and we all know how that turned out. Quit being an ignorant deplorable.

But during the mid 1990s, it was filled with something else: starving people. Reports of the time note the presence of hungry workers who roamed the streets, listlessly trying to walk off the effects of near starvation.

They were victims of one of North Korea’s most mysterious disasters—a huge famine that affected the 25 million-person country due to poor planning, isolation and a misguided policy of self-sufficiency. But though the famine may have killed many millions, its true extent has never been understood in the West, and it appears never to have been publicly acknowledged by North Korean officials.

Are you thinking NK has plenty of food these days?

A united Korea can not have two gov'ts. In order for that to happen, either Moon or Kim would have to resign.

Let's hope Kim decides to resign and go live in a prison palace in China.

Good point.

Maybe Kim is looking for a golden parachute sort of exile lol. I don’t see him accepting prison as an option.
