Nobody wants to deal with the millions of refugees such a situation creates. Added to this is the fact that NK has a much, much smaller per capita GDP than SK, it's nothing like the situation that existed between the GDR and West Germany at the time when Germany was unified. A Korean Wende without South Korea dropping like a stone on all known economic and development rankings is simply not possible. And I also remember reading something about the average South Korean no longer being interested in a unification for the sake of seeing long-lost familiy and friends again, as it's been over half a century since the two countries where divided. By comparison, the Berlin wall only existed for 26 years (1963-1989) with travel of Wessies into the east still possible.
Exactly... that's why we need a massive bloody land war with as much NK casualties as possible...
Kill the people, take the land... problem solved...
