Korea is really great. After 30 years of colonial rule, after liberation, the country was devastated by the Civil War and the country was divided in half. Nevertheless, it became a strong country. Korea seems like an underrated country. I hope that the Korean people will meet soon after reunification.

[@Rgio55]

I'm a Korean. I believe that unification of North and South Korea should be a result, not a goal. It is not easy for countries with different ideologies to merge. I believe that North and South Korea can travel with the goal of peace and common interests, and that exchanges come first. In addition to the national division of the Korean Peninsula, the ceasefire also resulted in the division of the country, preventing people from freely traveling to each other. I think resolving this national division comes first. Then, I think we can achieve national unification in the distant future.

[@Chuck_vs._The_Comment_Section]

The "unification" of West and East Germany was rather an annexation. The economy and industry that could have competed with the Western companies was simply wound up, plundered and flattened. Also the socio-political advantages and achievements that the East had were simply ignored in the typical Western arrogance and also flattened. With regard to North Korea, however, the question is what advantages and achievements this state should have over the South. The few news and reports that leak out of the country paint a bleak picture. Human experiments on prisoners, famines, an indoctrinated and strongly suppressed population, operations without anesthesia, etc. etc.

[@Fulgrim88]

As a german, I can say that we are still dealing with the economic and psychological fallout of reunification 30 years later. The east is still lagging behind economically, with young people leaving for western cities and old people feeling betrayed and left out, joining radical fringe parties. And that is despite a much smaller initial gap in living standards and a much less extremely brainwashed populace. And despite the very popular and thriving capital of Berlin being smack in the middle of former east Germany. While I still think it was ultimately the right choice (and would be for Korea as well) and while we are now - after 30 years - slowly starting to see a halt, and maybe even a reversal in the decades long brain drain from east to west, there is no denying that this is a long and arduous process. The people who think that a united korea would just add up the resources of both countries seamlessly are delusional. It'll easily take a full generation, maybe more, to reap the benefits

[@toodledoo82]

I'm afraid of the hardships ahead not only for my sake but also for my children amd their children. But I have a strange feeling that reunification will be unstoppable someday

[@Skawagon]

I actually think that the reunification of Germany has in the end rendered those extremist parties much less a threat to the democratic system as they cannot thrive nationwide - the west provides a firm democratic footing. Whereas here in Czech Republic (and all over the V4 states, to be honest), we don't have that and as a result, the extremists have found a very sound footing. As for the United Korea, they are much more geopolitically challenged than Germany at the time of reunification - I believe you will agree that such steps in your county wouldn't be possible at the time if Czechoslovakia and Poland were to remain Soviet puppet regimes. With Korea it is similar. If the regime there was to collapse, I can imagine China and possibly even Russia would preemptively strike and tried to snatch NKs nuclear arsenal in a bid to preserve the balance of power that currently is in their favor.

[@xgfreedom]

As a Korean, I also believe it will take a generation or two to fully stabilize the unification.

OK, so a few things to consider: 1. They would never keep the nukes. 2. A United Korea would not have the largest standing military in the world, because the reasoning behind both countries' vast militaries are due to a fear of the other. If such a fear was eliminated due to reunification, conscription laws would be eased. In addition, the North Korean military would not just up and join the South Korean one. That's not how it works. 3. The Korean taxpayer likely wouldn't actually be suffering too much. As Korea would try to remain neutral, China, Japan, and the US would pour in economic investments and infrastructure projects into the north to try and gain the good graces of the new powerful Korea. Edit: Octato92, thanks for that piece of info: Yes, it is likely at the date of reunification, the united Korean military would be the largest standing in the world. However, it would be gradually downscaled, so the military might of both Koreas combined is not really a positive attribute that a united Korea would possess permanently.

@@anakso In what way? Any country taking the steps to reunification will do so in a collaborative way. That means dealing with the nuclear issue during negotiations and no selling them off beforehand. The north isn't that batshit crazy despite what the media says.

[@Usmodlover]

​@@wanderer10k Yes, but if you're say a high ranking general for a regime that is crumbling around you as people are protesting in the streets, uncertain if you're even going to be able to stay in the country without being tried for crimes against humanity, are you going to turn down a few million from another rogue state for a couple of nuclear weapons you have no use for anyways? It's not that either state would be selling nukes, it's that in the chaos of a country disintegrating and being absorbed by another that the lack of order would enable an enormous amount of arms, even nuclear devices, to be sold off by whoever used to be responsible for maintaining them. The same thing happened in East Germany, despite careful and fairly effective efforts to destroy as much former East German military equipment as possible or given/sold to "sensible" countries, lots of small arms certainly made their way to places like Bosnia where they definitely were not sent as aid.

[@skynyrdkim3361]

I am a South Korean. I really want to reunification. But the situation of international politics is never simple. Really doubtful, I could watch the United Korea.

The will of younger generation for reunification We, Korean, really need your attention. Please pay attention to Korean peninsula and cheer for us.

China is not going to collapse any time soon so a quicker and more likely path would be: 1. The Chinese dragon fully awakens ( already well under way ) 2.

[@DepressionOfMyCat]

Well, I don't think I agree on this one... The subject is just too complex. I'm german and I can say: The east and the west here is stil split even tho there are no boarders anymore. The east tends to be poorer than the west but the west does not care too much about it. Also the mindset of the older generation is still the same. A lot of germans complain how much the reunification had cost west-germany, even tho people from the east were always used as super cheap worker because they had no other choice, since many of them lost their jobs when they reunited. So the problem is that you can not just go and do 1 plus 1 to melt two countrys together. If NKR has now a big military, you can be pretty sure, that the number won't be the same after NKR does not exist anymore. Instead everyone will struggle and it'll take many many years till everything has set to 'normal'.

[@charliemasson4287]

I think the situation is quite different though. When East and West Germany reunited, the Warsaw pact was well on its way to collapsing and no major power really had any incentive to invest in the region except for Germany itself. Meanwhile both China and the US would probably want to invest heavily in North Korea since both of them would want to have a united Korea on their side.

I just read an article which said that Koreans are the most successful middle size ethic after WWII. With the military from north and economy from south, United Korea might become a world-level country.

[@Rgio55]

Please read this article. I'm a Korean. People in the West need to realize that not all Asians are Chinese and that there are places where Chinese is not spoken. Of course, because China has a large population, when you see an Asian person, you may think they are Chinese. However, people from North and South Korea, Japan, Mongolia, and Southeast Asia are not Chinese. In particular, neighboring countries are having a hard time due to the Chinese's unique Sinocentrism ideology, which views China as the center of everything and all surrounding countries as barbarians. It is very rude to ask these people if they are Chinese. In Korean history, China and Korea, which were wary of northern peoples such as the Huns, Mongols, and Manchurians, had no choice but to have special exchanges for a long time. However, China has never directly ruled the Korean Peninsula, and Korea and China have different languages ​​and cultures. Our ancestors on the Korean Peninsula started in the eastern part of Liaohe River in Manchuria, and that land was occupied by the northern peoples and the Han Chinese, and is still experiencing historical distortion. Mongolia is also suffering from China more severely than Korea in this matter. Rather, the North and South of the Korean Peninsula are people with similar language and culture, the same ancestors, and the same history. And you must know that China is actually a land conquered and conquered by foreigners and Han Chinese. In particular, the Mongols who founded the Yuan Dynasty were born in independent Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, and the Manchurians who founded the Qing Dynasty were born in Manchuria, the region of present-day northeastern China. They did not belong to the Hanseatic culture, spoke Manchu and Mongolian separately, and established a state by overthrowing the Chinese Han Dynasty. They were not originally Chinese and their language was different. In particular, the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty and the Manchurians of the Qing Dynasty were foreigners, and the land they lived in was not originally Chinese land, but as the foreign nationalities converted and assimilated into the Han Chinese, that land became Chinese land. There is a record of China's first Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai saying that the Liaodong land in Manchuria, now part of Northeast China, was originally the land of our ancestors on the Korean Peninsula, but we just took it over.
