7. A reunified Korea wouldn't be as big a threat as you think

Considering North Korea is a shit hole with very little industry, crumbling infrastructure, poor uneducated citizens who have been brainwashed for decades. Even if the North Korean Government fell, it would costs hundreds of trillion of dollars to begin to make the country productive. It would also take decades before reunification occurred. South Korea doesn't have have nuclear weapons and would likely dispose of any North Korea had.

I believe the reunification of the two Koreas will happen, but it will take a long time.

The idea that a united Korea would be a threat is a huge misconception
