BEST (North) Korea is still an irredeemable shithole, so there's a lot of work to be done here for Korea to truly be made great on all sides. For starters, the toppling of a certain fatboy and his regime (e.g.: the waking up & serious re-education of an overall population) of easily brainwashed mooks.

Hope is great to have & hold onto, but important to also reserve, even at the best of times, m8.
 
Guarantee you Trump is pushing for peace between the Koreas just to one up China. Denuclearization and lasting camaraderie are just great benefits.

Id be pleasantly surprised if I can step into North Korean soil before I croak on my death bed. Its on my bucket list

Can't wait to see how long Huffpost and friends harangue about this, probably going to be even more stretched out than Clinton post-2016? This tear-filled weekend is going to be NUTS.

EDIT: With that aside, can't believe I am still young while this went on.

So the two Koreas unify - what happens to all the brainwashed, illiterate peasants who are suddenly told that the people they've been told to despise for decades are now their friends?

They know their lives suck on some level. One of their biggest black markets is foreign movies, which they watch in utter secrecy on battery powered DVD players. But those give them glimpses into the outside world and let’s them know that their lives aren’t as great as the propaganda would have them believe. I think most of them would welcome the change once they see how much food is on the dinner table.

Even Kim Jong Il loved western movies enough to kidnap a South Korean film director and force him to make a Godzilla ripoff.
 
Let's not forget the true hero of this story...

Can't quite believe it if I'm honest, I wasn't a massive fan of the way Trump handled the Rocket Man situation but you know what?

I was wrong and I hold my hands up for it, clearly I know nothing on running countries. Sincerely thanks, you glorious orange skinned spangled eagle.
 
It would not surprise me if we found out in 10 years that Kim Jong-Un was miserable in North Korea (He has seen the outside world before), and this was the opportunity he took to GTFO and install one of his body doubles in his place. Alex Jones will break the story in 2028 that the real Kim had been living in Dennis Rodman's basement the whole time.

They'll never unify for a lot of reasons, but most of them because they're still Norks. Like, the social class system is strong in SK. Even if you look weird or are a hapa, you're "less" to a lot of people. Imagine trying to reconcile being a Nork by blood?

:story: No.
 
I love this feeling you get when you see history being made in such a way.

60 years of uneasy peace finally over
 
I can't even imagine what a reunification would look like without completly ruining South Korea. The german reunification with the GDR was immensively expensive and economic effects are still felt today and the GDR wasn't even approaching to be anywhere close to the bad shape North Korea is in. It was in fact one of the countries the eastern bloc used as propaganda in how well socialism works. There's still higher rates of unemployment and people are generally poorer in east Germany. Also West Germany let a lot of very bad things (human rights violations etc.) that happened in E. Germany more or less "slide" so that the reunification would work quicker and better. I have no idea how that could ever happen with the atrocities North Korea committed and still commits to this very moment. It really cannot happen.

I don't think this means all that much to be honest, it's the usually ebb and flow of the quality of relations with North Korea. That ride will never end. Only thing that could ever end North Korea is North Korea itself, meaning a collapse from the inside. Even that would be catastrophic.

I mean you can do that now. Just don't steal one of their little flags like the last idiot or you'll end up on your death bed sooner than expected :\

Yeah it's certainly worth remembering that despite this historic moment those death camps where the entire families of defectors and escapees are still going at this very moment. Only way I could see that getting handled in a reunification scenario is if Kim threw his entire cabinet of generals and other party members under the bus in exchange for immunity.
