First thing that came to my mind: The woman from the Dark Knight Rises that escaped that hole-prison thing!
Still will be other problems, how many people in NK will fight to the bitter end making liberating the country similar to what the US would have faced invading Japan in 1945. NK could also so some serious damage to parts of South Korea and maybe further.
Occupation, rebuilding and attempting to make something out of the country will be a huge task in terms of people and money.
The thing is - i believe what North Korea has is brainwashing and not nationalism. If brainwashing is not continually "applied" it will fade rather quickly actually.
But yes, even if the Koreas just united without a war South Korea would have taken a considerable economic punch in the gut
No one needs to invade the sorry excuse for a country. As soon as the rest of the world stops giving them food and money to keep their people alive, their people will revolt or the whole country will starve. Its ironically the most humane way to deal with them.
There are stories of North Koreans defecting to south korea based on stories which have likely been handed down through generations before the whole divide ever started. What will they do when they realize the world has wanted to help them for the last 60 years but haven't been able to because of china.
As soon as they realize "holy shit, the world wasn't invented by 1 man and constantly starving and being tortured isn't normal" they're going to change sides pretty quickly.
Wow a Canadian saying the US isn't a decent country and shouldn't exist...pretty edgy there. Hope I misunderstood your post
That's like wishing your country wouldn't exist seeing as it's Thing 2 to Thing 1 (also known as America)
Yes that's a dr Seuss reference
Anyways, it surprised. I don't hate north Koreans I just feel sorry for them. They're different from the radical islamicists in the middle east as they haven't ha a chance to see the outside world. I hope they're freed.
Pretty messed up story. Sounds like something out of the Outer Limits.
