    My prediction is that social collapse in the south will eventually lead to reunification.

      Didn’t unoccupied Korea say they were no longer interested in reunification? Why would they want to rehabilitate that cess pool?

        Yeah, the new policy is they’re not going to seek reunification, but I think that mostly implies that they see no reason to take over the south by force. If there was a collapse in the south, integrating it would mean removing US presence from their border. And that would be very valuable.

          Very likely that SK itself will seek reunification to save whatever is left of its economy

              By the time things get to that point, they’ll either be dead, irrelevant, or living in the US
