Would South Korea really want NK back?

[Hereford]

Wouldn't that be like the US annexing latin anerica?  21 and a half million instant welfare recipients over night...

Hell no it would take decades just to de-program the crazy little fuckers.

Korea used to be one country until we got involved, kinda like west and east Germany.

I don't think there's a need to explain the US' relation to Latin America (hopefully).

ah fuck it.

[Deicide]

No. Most South Koreans DO NOT want North Korea to be part of the same country.

Maybe now, but back in 2006 67% of south Koreans were in favor of reunification (source: Gallup polls):



Two thirds of the population is considered a majority.

In 2007 and 2008 they didn't but that shit changes all the time...

Great food and everything else sucks...

Makes sense, why would you want reunite with another country whose leader is building WMDs.

2006 was a pretty benign year in terms of NK warmongering.

Really Korea was just sitting there minding it's own buisness and America split them in two? The North went communist and attacked the south, and for your information in was the UN, not just America that was involved in the war.

And I suppose that America went in there and just split Berlin in half as it was minding it's own buisness. Who do you think built the Berlin wall? Here is a hint THE RUSSIANS. You see they were just taking over most of eastern europe at the time, maybe he US should have just packed up and left and let the Russians take all of europe, not such a good idea.

The thing that all you seem to forget was there was this thing called the COLD WAR going on, and as far as Latin America is concerned do you really think the United States was going to let the communist get a foot hold in this hemisphere? Hell WWIII almost started over Cuba and Russian ICBM's.

You talk about  reading, maybe you should try reading some history.

And it was only the US too.... Don't forget that.

Waste of money, energy and lives to have ever been involved in Korea.

[Kazan]

And this is your expert opinion? You see the North got their fucking ass's kicked and were on the verge of being wiped out  when the Chinese decided to get involved. But instead of blowing those commie bastards back to the great wall, the UN settled for an armistace.

There was no need to have ever gotten involved. Totally irrelevant to the US.

[OzmO]

Very relevant considering the spread of communism at the time and how it was perceived.

[Hedgehog]

Yes of course.

Without a doubt.

There are families split up over the borders, siblings that haven't been able to see each other since the split.

It's an absolute tragedy.

So yes.

It's far beyond an economic affair.

They want to save their own people.

Look at West and East Germany.

It was never any option to keep them separated, even though the "Ossies", like the East Germans were called the first ten years, were lagging.

They are one nation.

My guess that sense is even stronger with the South Koreans and the NK's.

Those people have been held under a tyranny.

I'm sure South Korea will do anything to secure the future of a unified Korea.

Cold War=generally speaking, hyped up beyond all measure...

[Kazan]

Then show me how it was hyped, just because you say it doesn't make it so.

[OzmO]

Cold War=generally speaking, hyped up beyond all measure...

I'm sure in some respects it was.  However, the threat of the spread of communism was sufficient enough to justify containment.

Dude, that does not matter one bit because it doesn't happen to them.

That is why 9/11 was such a "surprise", because someone exported something we happily exported for many years: Violence.

You can hide it under any pretense, be it that we're exporting democracy, making sure they do not fire missiles at us, et cetera; but these assholes can't see human suffering as such because it hasn't happened to them.

And yes, it does help if the ones we're putting the heat on are dark-skinned. Our fascists like that.

Germany, one nation? If you only knew Igelkott...

I don't want to spend hours on getbig talking about Cold War revisionism but 'Containment' is nothing more than a concoction feeding something else...
