i really hope that the communist government in mainland china collapses because this is the only possible way for north korea to collapse and korea will be reunifed under the capitalist government of south korea just like the germany reunified under the capitalist government of west germany, the territory of east germany was absorbed into it and became one germany, the capital of germany used to be bonn before the reunification, bonn city was the seat of capitalist government of west germany and the capital status was transferred to berlin upon reunification of germany

[@MTC008]

if the communist government in the mainland china collapses it is not the only north korea will collapse, laos and vietnam will soon follow to collapse as well, ending the communist bloc in asia, china will split into some countries, china loses all territories except china proper in exception of guangdong province which is likely to become independent due to people there are cantonese ethnics, they speak cantonese and not mandarin, they are not han chinese people ethnic so it's likely guangdong province will be independent country on it's own while hongkong becomes independent free city just like the city of danzig in poland during the 1920-1939

Ultimately how North Korea ends will be bloody, complicated, and drawn-out no matter how we go about it, if we go about it at all. Directly attacking them is out of the question: shoot one nuke and the rest will fly, ending us all. And an invasion will have to contend with mountainous terrain, a narrow choke-point into the most heavily fortified border on the planet, and a fanatical army willing to fight to the end. And that's NOT getting into the complications of China and/or Russia getting involved and we just have a repeat of the Korean War. Getting China and Russia on-board with a regime change is highly unlikely. We could entice them with perhaps better trade deals (China makes up over 90% of all trade with North Korea) or simply not having to constantly rein in their puppet from needlessly antagonizing the most powerful nation on earth. But what would the new regime look like? A liberal democracy like South Korea? What would stop them from unifying and thus giving the US a military base on China's front door? A naked military dictatorship? Not exactly different from what they currently have? And would the North Korean people and military accept it? Inciting revolt from within? That's going to raise questions of leadership, relations with South Korea, and the risk of a massive humanitarian crisis. If the regime falls, there would likely be a civil war between factions, along with large influx of refugees into China, and the South Korean and Chinese military forces would likely intervene to try and keep the insanity down. So I think what we should be asking is: how can we best keep the insanity contained to North Korea when the regime does fall?

Every general. Every colonel. Every captain. Every commissar. Every factory, every farm. It’s the best idea I’ve heard so far. South Korea could do it. It’s be harder than Germany, for sure, but it can be done. Reunification would solve south koreas terrible demographic profile issues, injecting large numbers of young ethnic Koreans and staving off demographic collapse for several generations, possibly. The issue is the South Korean publics opinion on the issue. Younger people are less and less likely to even want reunification, lest it take away resources from them.

How I see this whole thing is that Western governments just won't bother for the same reason they haven't already bothered for decades - not FINANCIALLY worth the cost. There's nothing in North Korea that's worth exploiting. No profit (no oil) = no war.

What makes you think it won't be there for decades or centuries? It exhibits relative political stability (no coups or revolutions since 1940s, vs 6 for the south), has been through multiple different political administrations, has powerful countries protecting it, has thus far not gotten involved in anything too difficult to handle or disengage from in terms of wars outside the peninsula, and has nuclear weapons and a million person army?

How about this option: Buy them out. As soon as KJ1 dies, his heir will receive an offer they can't refuse. 1B USD and Asylum for them and their relatives in the West in exchange for handing over NK to SK. 1B USD sounds like a lot but it would be comically cheap for getting rid of a nuclear pita. Also, whoever takes power is absolutely innocent and not responsible for any killing or suffering in their country, yet, so I see no moral dilemma in this. This would also require offering other people in high places amnesty and financial security in order to have everything go smooth.

[@michaelmyers3892]

The bad part about North Korea is even if we placed some well strategic military and different locations which would be swept in over in a matter of weeks we also are invading China which now we have two countries we would have to fight, but it's sad because negotiation talks don't work compromises don't work nothing works so what's a person supposed to do when you got to take on two countries

Best way: Let it happen on its own. Soon enough, the poverty & truth about the government & Kim will lead the population to a breaking point, revolting and turning the country slowly; without a stable, supportive population, North Korea will not be able to function, or at least be considered a country without brutal suppression & the death of over half of the population, which would only then lead to an international problem on its own as a genocide occurs. TLDR: North Korea's fate relies within itself.
