North Korea. A possible solution.

Would it be socially and politically possible to reunite the two Koreas? Historically afaik they've only ever been a unified country under Japanese imperial rule.

That's not correct. As far as I can see, they were a largely independent state since the late 14th Century until they were forcibly annexed by Japan in 1910.

Apologies, I thought they were in that group of countries that got passed back and forth between the Chinese and Japanese. Either way, reuniting the two could be a very tricky proposition, since there's been close to zero contact/mixing between them for 67 years and so much propaganda by both sides.

Maybe he's just like a super pissed off Yaya.

If America was to pull out of the South, North Korea would invade immediately. So no chance of your suggestion working.

You can't be serious, imagine the grief that would cause if South Korea came from behind to win 2-1?

China is reluctant as it sees NK as a buffer state between it and US dominated South Korea. One possible solution is to agree with China to topple the Kim regime, re-unite the two countries and then largely demilitarise the peninsula.

Whether that could happen though depends on China, which intervened militarily in the Korean War to defend NK and probably would be wary about the prospect of an economically powerful democracy on its southern border.

China's more immediate problem would be a biblical flood of refugees across its border if war broke out

Move Israel to North Korea, 2 problems solved in one.

Exactly.
