Even if it gets that far, and that's a big "if," I don't see how reunification is possible, at least not for years or decades.
I can't even imagine a rebuilding effort in a country that has brutal concentration camps with conditions outside of them not being substantially better for the people.
How does Kim continue to lead the country? I recall Hirohito remained in power in Japan because McArthur felt that it would maintain continuity and stability after it lost WW2. I think the circumstances are different here because of the brutality of the Kim family against the people of NK for decades.
We know so little about the country. The fact finding necessary to rebuild would be a mission in itself.
If we are going to start bringing places up to date to the 21st century, we should start with America First.
(Creepy that autocorrect capitalized the F in first.)
Exactly, I can't see Kim giving up power. If we do a major infrastructure or farming rebuild there, Kim will skim enough to be able to restart his nuclear program immediately.
Are you suggesting that we Make America Great Again?
What I'm saying I guess is that Kim has to give up power for this thing to work. By saying we left Hirohito in "power," I meant that he was more of a figurehead to keep the masses in check without real decision-making power.
That's why I've been pretty skeptical of this whole thing. If the people of NK experience freedom, how are they not going to want Kim gone immediately or fairly quickly. If they are truly free, he's in exile somewhere.
Am I missing something? Can someone give me an example of a country with nuclear weapons that the US has rebuilt that retained one of the most brutal leaders on the planet?
Now if the military exercises are cancelled to bring back the talks, Trump comes off looking like a bitch and Un keeps getting what he wants.
remember that time, when the republicans and ogboards jackoffs were spiking the ball and nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize???
That was awesome
